THE COMMUNITY
Where the conversation continues.
The films, photos, and Travel Guides are one half of Byhande (@byhand365 on Youtube, Instagram, & TikTok). The other half is the conversation around them: international perspectives and friend network, the recommendations, the places to explore next. That conversation lives on Substack, and we welcome you. Also, as FYI, we have a Substack “Annual + Travel Guides” option where you have free access to all our Byhande Travel Guides and related discussions.
Free to join, and easy to leave. We write when we have something worth your time.
WHO BELONGS HERE
Come as you are, stay curious.
Byhande is for people who travel immersively, remain curious, appreciate beauty, and believe the journey is more meaningful when it's shared.
WHAT WE GATHER AROUND
Four Pillars.
Travel
Slow journeys measured in weeks rather than days, and the places that reward staying longer.
Culture
The history, language, and daily rituals that make a place unmistakably itself.
Design
Architecture, craft, and objects made with intention, and the people still making them.
Community
What we all give back to the places we visit and to each other, as this community grows.
EARLY DAYS
A community still taking shape.
Our Substack is new, and, rather than pretend otherwise, we would rather say it plainly. It will grow and improve over time, shaped by how this community develops around our four pillars of travel, culture, design, and community enrichment. Join us early, tell us what you would like more of, and you will help decide what it becomes.
Pull up a chair.
One place for the letters, the conversation, and everything that does not fit in a film.
