host a chapter

What this is

Instead of joining a chapter Oyestore already runs, you lead one - pulling in your own community to fill it, with Oyestore handling the actual logistics, stay and on-ground operations behind it. This is separate from a creator collaboration (documenting a chapter we're already running) and separate from booking a trip yourself; for those, see For Creators and All Trips.

What hosting offers

A hosted place on the chapter you lead, plus a cut of what your community brings in - exact terms (split, minimum group size, what's covered) get worked out directly over WhatsApp once we've seen your audience and picked a destination together. There isn't one fixed package across every host.

Which chapters are open

The same circuit the rest of Oyestore runs - the Flagship Four, plus regular Varkala Weekend chapters:

• The French Quarter - Pondicherry's colonial White Town and Auroville
• The Dry Day Detox - Gokarna's cliffside beaches
• South Goa, No Noise - Palolem and Agonda over Diwali
• The Cliff Sessions - Kovalam and Varkala's red cliff and surf scene
• Varkala Weekend - our regular, real-dated 72-hour chapters

Tell us which one fits your community and why when you apply - it helps more than a generic pitch.

Who we're looking for

Anyone with a real, engaged community who'd actually show up for a trip you're fronting - any platform, any size. We care more about whether your audience would genuinely travel with you than follower count alone.

How to apply

Fill the form below or message us directly on WhatsApp with your profile (handle, platform, rough audience size) and which chapter you're interested in.
