I started listing in Egypt, Red sea region recently, everything is amazing the region is blessed with nature and spectacula...
I've just received a request for a booking (my first) for 2 for 2.5 weeks, the concern I have is the requestor joined AirB&B in 2020 but so far has no trips, and this seems a bit odd.
Their address and phone number have been verified, however.
Am I worrying about nothing or should I be cautious?
Any assistance is much appreciated, Steve.

Hi @Stephen1703
you are new to Airbnb so the guest is taking a risk in booking with you 😀 particularly as you haven't uploaded a photo or host profile .
lots of people join Airbnb for years before they book
why not ask vetting questions to understand if the guest is a good fit ?
Good point and of course COVID may have prevented people traveling, I shall also upload my pic, had not thought of that 😊
I was going to mention that covid may have prevented this guest from traveling; also they may have traveled with a friend or family member on their account.
As this is a request you have the opportunity to visit with them before accepting the reservation, ask whatever questions you need to make you feel comfortable.
