Thanks @Lizzie
It'll be a fun time I'm sure when you do come to New Zealand next and make it to Auckland - I look forward to meeting you and maybe show you around a few spots and create a bit of havoc!
How about arranging a Meet Up there with Hosts and Guests including those who are renting and renting rooms to a Guest from Airbnb as Airbnb is very popular amongst tenants to find flatmates/ Guests to help pay the bills and for tenants who are renting to find a home to live in !?
Discussion amongst those in the community suggest it's a safer and more popular method of sharing costs and one's living accomodation than the other website that's based here - less hassles with been paid directly than stress of worrying about been paid rent from a flatmate whose credit history one is not able to obtain!
It's also an enriching way of life and provides benefits across all of the economy.
Airbnb seems to be a more popular advertising platform to use amongst women of all ages and those who have been in flatting situations, billeted and traveled and shared homes with others.
Keep us posted please.
