Hiya everyone,
Airbnb is launching a new series of outdoor guides based on one-, two-, and three-hour drives from urban centers. We know that while travel restrictions are starting to ease up, guests aren’t quite ready to take far-flung trips and are staying closer to home. These guides are meant to inspire people to safely explore outdoor destinations with an emphasis on lesser-known spots that aren’t impacted by large crowds.
We’re hoping to create these guides based on recommendations from local hosts in the area, which is where you lovely hosts come in!
We’ve really been enjoying your local stories of adventure and discovery from Canada to Greece, Seville to Polynesia! All of your wonderful experiences and expertise can really help us shape these guides, which will hopefully encourage people to start taking nearby trips and will help to drive bookings.
We are starting with top-booked cities in the US but we may expand this series globally in the near future.
What are some of your favourite lesser-known outdoor destinations or activities within three hours of the following US cities:
We’re excited to see a whole breadth of activities like hiking trails, swimming spots, or secret landmarks that you can appreciate from your car. We’re so excited to share your stories in these guides!
Looking forward to your hidden gems,
Stephanie
