The riads of Morocco are always a favourite on tour. I love to support small, locally owned and operated properties to ensure your tourist dollar goes to the right people. 🙏
Join me in April to explore Morocco and stay in these stunning riads. Only 5 places left so be quick!
Home sweet home … well almost! On the train to Lithgow and then the bus to Orange.
Trip of a lifetime! I’m now leaving tour guide life to become a wildlife photographer. 😂 This first elephant photo is my favourite!
So grateful to the wonderful people I met on this trip and shared the memories with.
My life looks like a dream and yes it is! I am truely lucky to be able to work anywhere. 💙
At Phuket airport I met a lady who was celebrating her 80th birthday with a solo trip. She has 7 children and she told them she was doing this for herself! Love her style!

A wonderful love story and great book! I’ll add the link to the book in the comments!
In 1977, an Indian man embarked on an extraordinary journey, cycling from India to Sweden to reunite with a woman he met during her vacation in India.
They met when the girl drove to India to get her portrait done by him. She asked him to come to Sweden with her but he said he’d come later on his own. He couldn’t afford a plane ticket so he sold much of what he had, bought a bike, and set off.
He went through Afghanistan, Iran, and finally Türkiye. He made it through by selling portraits along the way, as well as through donations. At Türkiye, he bought a train ticket to somewhere in Europe, where he then biked to Gothenburg, Sweden

It’s a fabulous opportunity to enjoy classes with Wendy in a fabulous setting (we have an air conditioned conference room!)
There will be plenty of like-minded people to socialise with.
I have arranged a few fabulous half day tours to learn about the culture of the Maldives.
All of this PLUS a gorgeous tropical paradise to enjoy! Snorkeling, swimming, relaxing and soaking up the tropical vibes! 🍹🍸

Join Wendy Williams and myself and tour Sri Lanka and the Maldives in June 2025.
The 11-night Sri Lanka tour offers an unforgettable journey through lush tea plantations, ancient temples, national parks and artisan visits.
The 7-night Maldives escape combines serene beach relaxation with cultural tours of fishing villages and with hands-on embroidery workshops (with Wendy in an air-conditioned conference room) and an opportunity to learn about traditional embroidery from local ladies.
This is the perfect tropical escape. All of the organising has been done. Just turn up and have a great, relaxing time with fabulous company.
Join for one (or make the most of your flight and stay for both!)

Oh my goodness, did you see my African photos on social media? The trip was fabulous. I especially loved the warm, friendly people of Kenya. They loved sharing their culture, wildlife and and I LOVED their beads. It really was the trip of a lifetime! Am I offering tours to Africa is the question y...

"Materialistic hell." 😳

Did you know that our tours require a deposit of $800 at the time of booking? Final payment is due 95 days prior to travel.
Here’s a link to our tours so you can start planning your next adventure.
A highlight of my African trip was a visit to meet my sponsor student at School of St Jude.
St Jude’s was started by an Aussie lady and I love everything it represents.
I have sponsored Zahiya since 2015. I had a guided tour of the school and visited her family home. 🫶🏾
As you can imagine, it was a very emotional day, especially when her father thanked me for my support and gifted me a chicken! (Luckily the school gave me the heads up and told me to bring it to the school and they will donate to a nearby student). 🐓😮
If you want to read more about the school, I’ll add the link below. 🙏
We love visiting artisans and learning about the handmade process. Occasionally I include a workshop but only if it’s 100% worth your time AND the item is finished and useful.
I don’t want to waste your time with half finished projects. Let’s face it, we have enough of those already! 😂
By visiting artisans and purchasing directly, you are helping ensure traditional crafts continue. In many instances, younger generations are not keen on such labour intensive work.
If this sounds like your ideal tour, a look at our tours with availablily. 🙏🩵✈️

Connecting is one of our key values at Red Door Tours. I just love to see it happen. ❤️ connections with locals ❤️ connections with fellow travellers - people often comment about how much they have in common with other traveller and how much they enjoy their company. That never surprises me a cause I see it every tour. We always attract lovely guests and there are often lovely new friendships formed.❤️ connections to self - people often ‘need’ this trip and discover their confidence and independence again (or sometime for the first time)It’s one of my favourite parts of my job! Making connections myself and observing wonderful connection form. ❤️❤️❤️There are only 3 spots left for September Morocco 2024 ❤️❤️❤️ #noregrets #UnforgettableMemories

My suitcase is permanently packed and I’m always looking for my next adventure!
I was not always adventurous. I was that homesick child, unable to go on school camps. Hard to believe now, as I have been travelling the world, often solo, since I was 21.
My love affair with Asia began with a high school exchange to Japan and continued to grow while living in Singapore and Hong Kong.
I've always been crafty and ran an online craft business for twelve years. I enjoy paper craft, crochet, embroidery and anything handmade. Despite having several projects on the go and a craft studio full of supplies, purchasing textiles is a weakness when I travel.
In 2018 l launched Authentic Global Travel, combining my passion for textiles with travel. My mission is to create tours with thoroughly planned itineraries, enriching travel experiences and the piece of mind that everything is taken care of.
I personally visit each country to research the best places to visit, eat and explore. I love finding unique experiences that will make your tour unforgettable. It’s a tough job as I travel the world in the name of research!
I am committed to providing top-quality tours so your experience exceeds your expectation. Don’t spend another year regretting missed opportunities. Pack your bags and get ready for a holiday of a lifetime.
