We’ve taken a different approach on this post as we wanted to let you know a few things from an airbnb guest professional. Who better a man than our past guest and now our good friend Danny Dover. Danny came to stay with us for a week in May and is a truly inspirational guy. In fact…
Do you know who these guys are? Well you should do as they are the founders of Airbnb. They’re the reason that we’ve had the opportunity to meet so many amazing people from so many nationalities not to mention earning some extra income along the way to help us enjoy life. Their story is inspirational, young guys…

Before we started airbnb, our now luxurious double room was a short lived kids toy room. We never had a toy room before so Fiona was really excited about it, more so than the kids in fact! They hardly noticed when we converted it from a toy room to a grown up guest room!
