Airbnb is a place where what's inspiring about every person, and every home, in every country, can be shared. People share extra rooms, entire houses, castles, treehouses, boats, and even igloos. What began in my San Francisco apartment has spread to 80,000 cities in over 192 countries, creating a new economy for millions of people around the world.
