In today’s video, we explain why we QUIT staying in Airbnb during our full time travel. After booking 41 Airbnb’s during our first year of world travel and having a wide variety of issues and frustrations, we decided that we had better options. We detail all the specific issues, that we think Airbnb needs to improve. These deal with fees, cleaning, misleading photos, lack of loyalty programs, bugs and much more. These are the reasons why we now stay in hotels the vast majority of the time. Is an Airbnb crash on the way?
▶️ We started our channel to inspire and share our world travel lifestyle, adventures, and optimistic outlook on life with others. After completing a two-year journey in our Airstream to see all 50 states and 51 National Parks, we left to travel abroad. We have downsized our possessions and sold our home so that we can wander about with only the things in our backpacks.
We love living on the road, traveling each week to a new location. We plan to travel extensively to every part of the world. Ours is not a slow travel lifestyle but rather a vagabondish one. The goal is not to check a country off a list, but to experience it by meeting new people, seeing how others live, and making new friends. We believe in laughing, loving, and living our lives to the fullest.
We are working hard to build a beautiful website where you can get travel information about the places we have been. In addition, we post blog articles to help you travel better. Our channel is a way of augmenting that effort, so sometimes we post videos about how to travel or a vlog showing our lives on the road as we do an activity or an adventure. We also post Shorts, so check those out, too. We hope to entertain you, but most importantly, we want to inspire you and give you the confidence to plan your own adventure around the world.
