Day 8: Namastay!

[Soraya19]

(Rap song we wrote about our Airbnb 🙂

Hmmm I think you all know me, 

I’m that host, Soraya, from Airbnb, 

to those who choose to come be my guest, 

I’m no bad little lady, I’ll give you the best!

Send me a request, slap in your verifications, 

Get your dates right, with any other specifications, 

I’ll keep in touch, and tell you so much, 

Things to see and where to go, 

places that others don’t really know, 

So, come knock at my door, 

Flash me a smile 

I’ll remember you, we’ll walk the mile, 

Make this your home, it’s that happy space, 

any nationality, gender, or age,

There’s a comfy bed, coffee or tea, with wi-fi too, 

and meals if you wish, and laundry we do!

The view from here is the highlight, you’ll agree, 

cause at the end of the day..

No traffic, noise, people...just you feeling free.

After it’s dark, simply the night skies… the moon and the stars, 

looking down on you, maybe Jupiter and Mars?

I’m Fabia, her daughter – the next generation,

Please pass me your passport,

I must do your registration,

Oh! Before I forget, I can do henna and give you an experience in the city, 

Don’t miss to choose either, or it will be a pity!

Come with a handshake, leave with a hug, 

we’re strangers no more, we’re friends, 

hey, if I haven’t done enough…you’re welcome back again!

I promise I’ll make amends!

Write us a review, speak from your heart, 

We’ll write yours, we’ll do our part!

Now the world is so much smaller, 

by this meaningful act, 

you and me, making a pact, 

to believe in ‘Belong Anywhere’

a new feeling that was so rare,

for others to follow like you and me, 

choosing to stay at Airbnb’s!

@Soraya19 and Fabia, what a great letter!

I must confess that I like music but I'm very bad at singing 😩

I have written it first and I have not resisted the temptation to try to sing it, but it has not been successful...At home, my family have told me that I better dedicate myself to something else 😂
I will not give up and I will try again.

For this, is there a melody or background music that I can use to know the tone or rhythm?

I don't think an audio message is possible, but hearing this version of you would be great!

[Soraya19]

Daniel thank you so much 😄 I have a video of myself rapping it at the Airbnb headquarters of Delhi. Maybe I can find a way of sending it over. 

Don't stop doing what you love - keep singing! Have you written your own songs? If so, would love to hear as well! 

[Daniel1651]

Oh, oh, oh! A video is a must!

I continue singing at home and I promise to get the perfect rythm for the rap, but let me time (and I hope  my family can survive it!).

All the best from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain 🙂

[Quincy]

This is brilliant @Soraya19! I love it! 🎤

[Soraya19]

Hehe thank you Quincy! Let's see, hopefully someday I'll extend it and make a music video too 😄 

[Sybe]

@Soraya19 This is amazing!! When I saw you wrote a rap I wondered to what rhythm it should go but it pretty much pointed itself out when I read through it. 😃

[Soraya19]

🙏 Thanks Sybe.. 😅 My next one is going to be an acappella! hehe

[Helen744]

@Soraya19 How really clever, and it says it all. It certainly made me want to stay at your place. Well done     H

[Cheryl902]

Hey dear why are you saying like this , I will try to be your guest . Coming very soon.

[Clara116]

@Soraya19 Awesome stuff....loved it and tried scatting it sorta....you would have laughed.

Wanna see the video of you doing it please.

thanks for the fun and for all you do.

Best of greetings, Clara

[Soraya19]

Thank you for the lovely message. 😄 How can I send you the video Clara? Always happy to keep our spirits on high while hosting on our very own Airbnb . Hope you're having a great holiday season and that 2023 will see you in Mumbai at our little home away from home. ❤️
