I've been on tour with Creative Arts Safaris to India and Vietnam. Both trips were wonderful, exciting experiences. I was introduced to amazing places, people and food. Meeting the makers and learning how cloth and paper "have always been made, Madam" were memorable visits. I thoroughly recommend tours with Creative Arts Safaris.

I'm not a tour person but the Rajasthan tour I did with Fiona in 2013 was just magic. The pace was just right allowing time to stitch things we had seen but I was also doing natural dye samples along the way on a 10m scroll of silk. Days in the Fort drawing and talking to the local people were very precious. The colours and fabrics of Rajasthan shine in a light similar to Australia, so I felt captivated. Indigo, natural dyes, chemical dyes, carpet weaving, beading, kantha stitch are now parts of my textile lexicon. Thank you, Fiona.

I have been travelling on Creative Arts Safari tours for many years. The detail and execution of these tours has always been exceptional and the tour destinations are carefully researched. I will continue to explore new destinations with this highly competent organisation.

Travel with Fiona and Praveen if you travel with the heart open to the unexpected sacred spaces of the world, or to experience the warm-hearted welcome of people who live their lives with quiet grace in environments different from those at home; if you yearn to know how a place has been affected by its history, by political forces, or even by the weather; or if you love the hustle and bustle of ancient marketplaces and the thrill of a good bargain. Maybe you want to meet women who have found empowerment through traditional art, craft, and skill, or to delve into the poetic soul of a place. And, of course, you want to have good conversation over a glass of wine and good food from the region. If you travel because you want to be changed, or because you want to be reminded of the thread of good that connects the world, even in times of chaos, travel with Fiona and Praveen. You will not regret it.

Glorious Ghana was a fabulous adventure with Fiona. We explored the textiles and beautiful crafts of a very welcoming country. Thank you so much Fiona
