‘Spice Voyages’ tours for connoisseurs
specialise in just-off-the-beaten-track-experiences with more than a dash of luxe.
I live between Bali, Perth, India, Morocco - & now Sri Lanka - so a Spice Voyage promises authenticity in unforgettable locations.
Discover the arts, cuisine and cultures of destinations whose rich cultures have drawn traders and travellers for two millennia along the Spice Routes from North Africa to Asia.
My next small group tour to Morocco is planned for Oct. '21 or May / October'22, depending on travel conditions. Please let me know if you're interested to know more, and do check the travel blogs here for stories from the last two tours in 2019.
We are currently positioned for courses in
mid-2021, but will likely postpone to 2022
