For the past decade, home-sharing has changed the way we travel. There is scepticism using such platforms with many horror stories being publicised in the media. This book intends to reverse that mindset and collectively bringing you meaningful wisdom. Through hosting, it provides the opportunity for the host to travel the world thru the eyes of the guest without leaving their home. For the guest, staying with a local host allowed them to dive into local culture immediately. According to Adam Galinsky, a professor at Columbia Business School, 'visiting a foreign place and immersing yourself in their local environment, increases your cognitive flexibility consequently giving a boost to your creativity'. After the first year of hosting, Yuan decided to give up her comfortable 9-6 job to follow her passion. She hosted single ladies who flew across the world to embarked a new journey, be it for career or relationship. They inspired her decision making which she never thought that it was possible.
"My Home, Our Stories" highlights her journey as a host with great stories of her guests coming from different part of the world. There were invaluable lessons she learnt throughout being a host for the past 8 years. From being a solo traveller, learning of new cultures, gender identity to women’s empowerment. Being an Airbnb superhost consecutively for the past 5 years, she wants to share what does it take to be a superhost and job as a host. For those who are thinking of being a host, this would be a great preview of what you're going to experience.
Joseph Michelli a physiologist mentioned ‘In a world where there is a lot of division, hostility, and cynicism, I think being able to welcome people into an environment we’ve created for them—and doing so without prejudice and judgment, hopefully learning from and sharing with others—is an incredibly noble phenomenon. If only more host stories could be told to counterbalance the more cynical view that we take on the world, we’d be better off.’
This book is meant for travelers, dreamers, those who are in the crossed road in life and hosts to be where I shared wisdom I have gained over the years to encourage you to achieve your potential and to chase after your dreams.
