HISTORY • HERITAGE
What you read is derived from our experiences, encounters and observations, earthstOriez celebrates the people, places, history & cultural heritage it meets traveling.
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.
Collecting tree lore and medicinal plants knowledge, observing wildlife and discovering the stories that surround creatures, like the yeti, pandas, orang-utans and dragons. – Grumbling about the National Geographic worthy, world of critters that infest our beds some nights.
