earthstOriez compiles, shares & preserves stories
MYTH • FOLKLORE • HISTORY • HERITAGE
What you read is derived from our experiences, encounters and observations, earthstOriez celebrates the people, places, history & cultural heritage it meets traveling.
Because the passing on of stories from folklore – myths & legends and tales – is intrinsically human, and something we can all come together to share.
Cultural heritage is in the food we eat (rice, potatoes, coconuts), the coffee we drink, the clothes we wear, the moral ideas we follow, the arts, the skills we learn – The stories we tell.
Using history and heritage to tell the story of our journey.
We are also fascinated with all things green – the natural heritage of a place – collecting treelore and plant medicine, observing wildlife and discovering the stories that surround creatures, like the yeti, pandas, orang-utans and dragons.
