Ori is a travel, art, and education platform exploring where we come from, and where we’re going. We work with talented storytellers and visual artists to tell local stories on a global scale, preserving culture and natural environments, while inspiring travel through experience, rather than an algorithm.

Interested in Latin music? Dive into the reggaeton revolution with the Caribbean’s premier music writer. Want to know more about the changing landscape in the South Pacific? Our Indonesian environmental reporter will take you there. We focus on longform features that preserve people and place, trip and gear intel, and useful information for armchair and aisle-seat travelers alike.

Ori is a community that celebrates life’s simple pleasures as a way to bring the world closer together. This road is a long one, and we’re just getting started. Where to next?

The name Ori (literally)

In Latin, our name distills to the rise or the beginning. In Japanese, “ori” means opportunity. In Hebrew, light. Transcending east to west, north to south, we like to think Ori is more than just a title—it's a combination of all three.
