Our Hosting Journey — Plus How You Can Start with Bonuses from Airbnb and Booking.com


We had no idea when we first started fixing up our family home that it would lead to this amazing hosting adventure.


There were countless hours spent painting, cleaning, and making sure every corner of our home felt welcoming — not just for us, but for others too. It wasn’t always easy, especially during those hot August days, but every moment has been worth it as we've seen our home transform into a space where families and friends can create their own memories.

If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I could do that too,” we want to encourage you! Hosting is more than just renting a space — it’s about offering others the chance to rest, recharge, and find joy in a place that feels like home. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to grow, we’re here to cheer you on and support you along the way.

We’ve been through the highs and lows of this journey, and we know it can be challenging. But the joy we get from sharing our home, seeing guests relax, and helping other hosts succeed makes it all worthwhile.

If you're thinking about becoming a host or need advice on how to get started, feel free to reach out! We’d love to help you start your own adventure — just like we did.

Right now, Airbnb and Booking.com are offering special bonuses for new hosts — and we’re excited to share them with you. Here’s how you can get started and earn some extra perks!Our Beginning

Our hosting journey started simply: we renovated our family home with the hope of selling it. But as the updates came together — and we realized how special the space felt — we decided to open it up for guests instead.
Now, we get to welcome families, travelers, and friends from all over, sharing a little piece of what we love about our home.

Some Advice From Someone Who's Been There

  • Start simple — you don’t need to do everything at once.

  • Think like a guest — small thoughtful touches make a big difference.

  • Don't stress perfection — real hospitality is about warmth, not a magazine photo shoot.

  • Ask questions — there are communities (and people like me!) ready to help.
