Since Airbnb launched in 2008, I’ve stayed in 76 properties, including a Bengaluru bolthole shared with its owners; plenty of well-run apartments in Colombo, the city I now call home; quirky Tbilisi homes; and a Bangkok homestay that included a breakfast I still dream about.
I’ve had experiences I never would have otherwise, were it not for the platform. I’ve even made a few pals along the way, as hosts have turned into lifelong friends.
