Folklore is a great way of connecting to a heritage, and an excellent way of learning about us – appreciating how we’re different and how we are all the same.
Storiez bear the characteristics of culture of a people from which they originate. By delving into stories and traditions of communities, we can explore the similarities that run through our earth. Because the passing on of myths & legends is intrinsically human, and something we can all come together to share.

MYTH • FOLKLORE • HISTORY • HERITAGE
Cultural heritage is in the food we eat (rice, potatoes, coconuts), the coffee we drink, the clothes we wear, the ethic we follow, the arts, the skills we learn – the stories we tell.
We are fascinated with all things green – the natural heritage of a place – collecting treelore, observing wildlife and discovering the stories that surround creatures, like the yeti, pandas, orang-utans and dragons.
Using history and heritage to tell the story of our journey.
earthstOriez celebrates the people, places, the history & heritage it meets travelling. Welcome to stories of wonder and every day travel life and places we have explored in over 10 years and counting…
