“A journey is not about the places you visit, but the stories you bring home to share”

A craft introduced by the Portuguese over 400 year

A craft introduced by the Portuguese over 400 years ago is still being kept alive by hand in a small coastal town in southern Sri Lanka.

Beeralu, or bobbin lace making, has been passed down through generations since it arrived with Portuguese traders. Today it survives almost exclusively in the south, where the Dikwella Lace Centre trains women in the craft, offering fair trade opportunities and employment alongside a lace museum where visitors can watch intricate patterns take shape, stitch by stitch, over weeks and months of careful work.

Some traditions survive because someone decided they were worth saving. If you'd like to experience Sri Lanka this way, reach out at engage@creative.travel

As an unforgettable FIFA World Cup comes to a clos

As an unforgettable FIFA World Cup comes to a close with Spain lifting the trophy, we’re looking back on a month of celebrating the beautiful game together.

At Creative Travel, we celebrate journeys. This month, we celebrated the journeys of football fans.

From lifelong loyalties to new favourites, our team came together in jerseys from around the world to honour the passion, pride, and camaraderie that make the World Cup so special.

It was also a celebration of the long-standing relationships we’ve built with our partners across the globe, united by a shared passion for bringing the world closer through travel.

After all, football is at its best when it’s shared. So is travel.

From the passion of Argentina to the precision of Spain, two footballing giants now stand one step away from glory. 🇦🇷🇪🇸⚽

One icon. One prodigy. One trophy. Whether it’s Messi’s magic or Yamal’s brilliance, football fans are in for a spectacle.

May the best team lift the trophy. 🏆

One of the world's largest Buddha statues doesn't

One of the world's largest Buddha statues doesn't just watch over Bhutan's capital. It holds 125,000 smaller Buddhas within it.

Buddha Dordenma stands 169 feet tall on a hilltop above Thimphu. Its gilded bronze form is visible from across the valley. Inside, across multiple meditation halls, sit 125,000 smaller Buddha statues: 100,000 at eight inches tall and 25,000 at twelve inches, every one cast in bronze and gilded in gold. Its construction is said to have fulfilled an 8th-century prophecy that a great statue would one day rise here to bring peace and happiness to the world.

Just outside Bhubaneswar stands a 9th-century temple that most of India has never heard of.

The Hirapur Yogini Temple is circular, open to the sky, and ringed by 64 intricately carved stone goddesses associated with tantric tradition. There are only a handful of Yogini temples surviving in the country. This is one of the finest. At dawn, a temple priest conducts a traditional puja ritual as your guide walks you through the site's history, tantric philosophy, and architectural significance.

The experience continues into a nearby bell metal crafts village, where artisans still shape brass and bronze using techniques centuries old.

India has a leaning temple. It tilts at 9 degrees, more than twice the angle of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Ratneshwar Mahadev stands on the banks of the Ganga near Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi, built in the late 18th century. Legend says it was raised by a woman named Ratna Bai in her mother's honour, and that a curse on an unpaid maternal debt caused it to lean as punishment. In reality, its low placement on waterlogged foundations along the riverbank is what caused the tilt, leaving it partially submerged for much of the year.

There is no morning in the world quite like a morning in Varanasi.

A morning here moves through the Ganga Aarti at the ghats, past wrestlers keeping a centuries-old tradition alive at the Kushti Akhara, through the site where the poet-saint Tulsidas composed the Ramcharitmanas in the 16th century, and past the birthplace of Rani Lakshmibai. All before the city fully wakes up.

Some places ask you to slow down. Varanasi asks you to pay attention. If you'd like to experience mornings like this, reach out at engage@creative.travel

Is Ronaldo the GOAT? Will he step up and answer the question? 🐐
#Messi or #Ronaldo?

Ronaldo's following in India is nearly eight times the population of Portugal, proof that his biggest fanbase extends far beyond his homeland.

Millions of Indians share deep ties with Portugal through family, friendships, and history, making tonight's match feel a little more personal.

Now, Ronaldo and Portugal have one dream left: lifting their first-ever FIFA World Cup. Could this finally be their year? ⭐

O passado é história. O futuro é vitória.

Everyone knows Brazil, Argentina, Spain, England and the rest of football's biggest names. But how many know India's football story?

It goes back further than you'd expect, and it's more remarkable than most people realise. This World Cup season, we thought it was worth telling.

Swipe through.

The American Dream. Football Edition.

Football in the United States has entered a new era. With a fearless young squad, growing belief, and the FIFA World Cup on home soil, Team USA is ready to make its mark on the biggest stage.

Fans at Team Creative are backing the USA tonight, hoping they continue their remarkable journey.

Can Team USA keep the dream alive?

India has one active volcano. Most people have never heard of it.

Barren Island rises out of the Bay of Bengal, about 140 kilometres northeast of Port Blair, uninhabited and off-limits to visitors. Its first recorded eruption dates to 1787, and it has been erupting intermittently ever since, most recently in 2025. Boat expeditions circle it at a safe distance. On active days, ash plumes and glowing lava remind you that the earth beneath is very much alive.

Raw, remote, and unlike anywhere else in India. Would you visit a place this untouched? Tell us in the comments. To explore India beyond the obvious, reach out at engage@creative.travel

Some cities wear their history on their sleeves. Shimla carries it in its architecture.

Once the summer capital of British India, this Himalayan hill town is home to an unlikely mix of Victorian, Georgian, and Tudor buildings, sitting side by side along winding colonial-era lanes. A heritage walk from Christ Church to the Viceregal Lodge moves through that history at the pace it deserves, past theatres, temples, castles, and government buildings that have stood largely unchanged for over a century.

Shimla is a different kind of mountain town. If you'd like to experience it this way, reach out at engage@creative.travel

High in the mountains of Ladakh, the courtyard of Hemis Monastery comes alive today and tomorrow as the Hemis Festival unfolds.

Monks in elaborate masks perform the Cham dance, a tradition believed to mark the victory of good over evil, set to the sound of drums, cymbals and long Tibetan horns. The festival honours the birth anniversary of Guru Padmasambhava, the eighth-century master credited with carrying Buddhism across the Himalayas, including Bhutan, where he is still revered today.

It’s one of those moments that reminds us why we travel, to witness traditions that have endured for centuries and feel something larger than ourselves. Wishing you a joyful Hemis Festival, from the Creative Travel family of brands.
