Curious Journeys

Current status: organised chaos. 😄

If you’ve ever wondered what creating journeys to India looks like behind the scenes… here it is.

Sketchbooks, maps, itineraries, emails, costings, colour pens, open tabs and approximately 47 pieces of paper all demanding urgent attention.

Messy desk = active imagination.

And somewhere in this beautiful chaos, future memories are quietly being created.

Threads of India is quietly taking its final shape.

What began as a series of conversations around memory, rhythm, craft, and human connection has now become a carefully formed journey.

A small group of thoughtful travellers is preparing to experience India through textiles, culture, daily life, and meaningful encounters.

There is now one space remaining.

If this slower, more considered way of travelling resonates with you, you are warmly welcome to reach out.

Sometimes the right journey arrives at the right time.

This video reflects some of the beauty we experienced in our recent trip to parts of South India.

The old Chettinad Mansions hold such mystique of an era gone by.

India has a way of slowing us down enough to truly see.

The changing morning light.
The texture of old walls.
A quiet chai before the day begins.
Sketchbooks slowly filling with memory and atmosphere.

After returning from recent travels through India, I feel more inspired than ever for the upcoming India Painting Journey 2026.

This is not simply a painting tour.
It is a creative journey through colour, culture, observation, and presence.

We travel gently.
We stay longer.
We paint, sketch, photograph, reflect, and absorb the spirit of the places we visit.

The journey is now almost fully subscribed, with one final place available.

Perhaps it is waiting for the right traveller.
