Sub-stances: a site for Politically and Historically-Aware Women travelers
Over the past year, Sub-Stances has explored the world through different lenses. We've shared recipes from Georgia, given you our thoughts on the the recent French presidential election and tried to open your eyes to the world of mental health. As we've explored and traversed this world, we ourselves have changed, moving to different continents and reimagining what Sub-Stances is.
Our new direction will be providing a site for politically and historically aware women travelers. As four young women from all across the globe, we are aware of the challenges and opportunities that being a women travelling can offer. We want to help other travelers to explore the historical significance of a country, understand its cultural past, give you the political knowledge that makes that monument more meaningful and travel advice for cities on every continent.
This month, look forward to our explorations of different cities while we work on an exciting all-encompassing Berlin guide and a book sharing all of our experiences from the best to the worst parts of traveling. As always, we want to hear from you - so reach out to us right here on our website, Facebook or Instagram pages. Swipe right to see what cities we're covering this month. -

Throughout the years some, of us have conveniently misdiagnosed the cause of the unforgettable but preventable attacks on America’s schools.
