I decided to take the time to break down some of the common insults and misconceptions — and share my thoughts on each.

Airbnbs tend to focus on luxury items like a big flat-screen TV and 8 wine glasses, but completely miss the mark on a few necessities. Most of the items here are cheap (or even free) and will go a long way to making short-term rentals more comfortable.

This is the first poem I’ve ever written that I wasn’t forced to write. It’s about all of my favorite things to do and I’m sharing it here so I never forget how it felt when the world stopped.
