Airbnb are a technology company at the forefront of what is called the “Sharing Economy”. The sharing economy is when people who have unused stuff share it with people who need it.  A fee can be agreed for the use of the item (or free in some cases).

If you are a host you can upload pictures of the accommodation that you have on offer and tell potential guests a bit about yourself – it really is a super way to really get a unique and personal experience when you travel, for both host and guest!

It can be cheaper than traditional accommodation but it definitely adds a sense of adventure to your travelling. Often, the accommodation is in the heart of local neighbourhoods, so you get a real sense of what it is like to live among the locals when you travel.

It is a great way to earn extra cash if you have the space and it is not being used.
