This is the year we decided to put our house, yes our house, on Airbnb and have an adventure filled year with our toddler. It started as a desire to get away more on the weekends and quickly turned into a little side hustle that is helping us pay for nicer trips away, car payments, you name it.

We get into how this started and quickly escalated into our house being booked out every weekend, becoming a profitable side hustle. We went from booking cheaper airbnbs to just buying our own caravan for weekends of adventure while other people enjoyed our countryside home.

Did our house get totally trashed? We dive into exactly how it’s gone so far when people have stayed at our place, we’ve had over 20 bookings at this point and spoiler alert, it hasn’t been trashed yet. We also talk about details like cleaning and logistics of how we actually turned our personal home into a holiday rental, becoming a space people could stay in and what we do with all of our stuff.

Do you want to make some extra income, looking at renting your place out but it seems a bit crazy to let people stay? Or maybe you just want to start camping or caravanning with your family. This episode is for you.
