Hi @Melodie-And-John0
Thank you for your message! I am pretty sure a lot of hosts out there have plenty to share too. I met quite a lot of passionate hosts over the years here. Unfortunately, we don't have have much events as compared to the first few years when I started hosting.
I am putting this book solely from my own account. For every person who walked thru my door, they taught me life lesson and I want to document it down in hope to inspired others who might want to be hosts, travelers etc.
I am halfway thru putting the book together and taking in pre-orders. I just hope thru this book travelers would consider staying Airbnb with a host. So far, I would say only 15% of travelers are willing to used home sharing platform.
We sure have a lot of favourite stories! It's so hard to choose one...Mmm ..As a host, we sure do received notes and gifts from guests. But there is one special gift I received and it totally touched my heart. I had a bad day from work and felt so unappreciated by my ex boss. My guest from Chengdu (China) checked out that morning. So when I came back home, I saw a panda soft toy left in the guest's room. On his little pouch, there was a note. My tears just rolled down knowing that at least I know my guest appreciated my hospitality!
Look forward to hear your fav hosting story too! 🙂
