Hello and welcome fellow earthling!

Welcome to Tellurian Treasures, I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Faine Bellord. This blog is my little corner of the internet where I share thoughts, adventures, and ways to reconnect with our beautiful, wild, and fragile world. I also talk about being human, which I think is such a weird and wonderful exsistance to be blessed with.

This blog is my little corner of the internet where I share thoughts, adventures, and ways to reconnect with our beautiful, wild, and fragile world.

Many of us live fast-paced, urban lives, and it’s easy to lose touch with the Earth — our true home. I created Tellurian Treasures to encourage a deeper, everyday connection with nature, because I believe it’s essential for our happiness, health, and wholeness as human earthlings.

I have a full-time job in marketing. So, sometimes I feel a deep homesickness for the natural world — a longing to escape to the countryside, kick off my shoes, and lie among the wildflowers, simply watching the sky. If you’ve ever felt that too, you’re in the right place. I get it.

Here, I share tips on grounding yourself through food, mindfulness, and simple rituals. I write about my travels, my love for animals, creative living, and ways we can tread more lightly on the planet — always with a spirit of wonder and care.

Whether you’re seeking inspiration, practical ideas, or just a moment of connection, you are so welcome here. I hope Tellurian Treasures feels a bit like coming home.

Finding your way around.

I’ve split the content of my blog into four sections:

Tellurian Travels

is all about places and culture. I write about the reasons I travel and what travelling has taught me, along with helpful tips when you’re out exploring our diverse and intriguing world.

Tellurian Thoughts

Is where I share my views and feelings and interpretations of the world around me. I like to talk about wellbeing, creativity, spirituality, among other things.

Tellurian Treasures

is all about the invaluable gems of our world, from amazing animals to inspiring people such as environmentalists and artists. We can learn a lot from others. Here is where I celebrate the wondrous treasures that we share our world with and their teachings.

Why did I call my blog ‘Tellurian Treasures’?
There is meaning behind the name. ‘Tellurian’ comes from Latin and means something that is ‘of or inhabiting the earth.’ So ‘Tellurian Treasures’ represents the belief that every living thing on earth, flora or fauna is a beautiful treasure. Each and every living thing on earth matters and has a unique purpose and that includes you – you wonderful human!

A little more about me…

At my core, I’m a creative — maybe more now than ever. I’ve always lived a lot in my head, spending half my time in a daydreamy world of stories, project ideas, and big questions about life… or, more often, just thinking about what’s for dinner (relatable, right?).

Curiosity tends to take over my mind. When something captures my interest, it lingers — sometimes for days, sometimes for years. I think that’s why creativity feels so central to who I am: my head is always buzzing with ideas, vivid dreams, and a lifelong love of writing and art.

I also strongly believe that creativity isn’t reserved for a few — it’s part of being human. We’re all wired to interpret and shape the world in profound ways. Lately, I’ve become fascinated by the idea of creative living — something Elizabeth Gilbert talks about beautifully in her books and TED talks — and it’s a philosophy I try to weave into everything I do.

By day, I’m a graphic and digital designer, currently working in email marketing. I also love digital illustration, which started as a hobby but is slowly blooming into a side hustle (very exciting!).

When I’m not creating, you’ll usually find me traveling — I’ve been lucky enough to explore over 26 countries so far, with many more on my ever-growing list. And as a true foodie, I’m passionate about plant-based eating and love discovering fresh, delicious ways to enjoy it.

In my 30s, I’ve also begun embracing my neurodivergence. I’m dyslexic — diagnosed back in primary school — and it’s something I’m learning to celebrate rather than just manage. (You can read more about that in my post, Learning to Love My Dyslexia.)
