AirBnB is very eager to welcome me on my upcoming adventure! Oh, but when it’s time to leave because I don’t have the funds to stay longer… no polite goodbye letter saying “it’s time to go, Jack!”

Just radio silence, which I interpret to mean: “get the fuck out of dodge. We told you the first time.” More and more residences now also seem to be property management companies. Big money moved through using what was initially a peer-to-peer program. Couchsurfing.org started off free, then went to a pay-to-play model. Imagine people hosting each other for *gasp* …free!
