Why We QUIT Staying at Airbnb! | Is There A Better Way To Stay?
➡➡️ Check out our follow up video!
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.

Thank You to Airbnb Hosts | Airbnb
It’s been an amazing ten years. We’d say we couldn’t have done it without you, except for one thing: we didn’t do it. Hosts like you did. You opened your doors, turned strangers into friends, and invented new ways to welcome the world. So instead we’ll just say thanks.

Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love
Our Travel Gear:
Microsoft Surface, Travel Laptop: We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.
Camera Sony Alpha Series: We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.
Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.
Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.
Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.
Our Packs/Luggage: Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here
Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

Reasons Why People Hate Airbnb Now
Hey there fellow travelers, today we talk about what annoys people about apartment rentals or more specifically vacation apartment rentals. Whether it is Airbnb, VRBO, or a local vacation rental these are some of the things that travelers really don't like. So whether it is an apartment in Paris, a house in Las Vegas, or a condo in Key West these are things to think about when booking your next vacation rental.
