About Us Airbnb Universe

Hi guys, we are Devin and Sarah from Airbnb Universe. We would like to introduce ourselves and tell you a little about us and what Airbnb Universe is.

First about us. Believe it or not, we met on the dating app “Tinder”. We both swiped right after realizing both of us had gone to a local music festival called “Shambhala” and loved to travel.

Three years later we were engaged and married, taking us to now. The real question is, how did we get into hosting on Airbnb?

Everyone has there own stories and we love it. Ps, we would love to hear yours! For us, it was shortly after our first Airbnb experience on our honeymoon in Bali, Indonesia.

We stayed in a villa that one of the locals (Jareth) had built and was hosting on Airbnb. It was different than a hotel, Jareth (host) made us a continental breakfast with local fruits and eggs. The breakfast was better than anything I had ever had.

Furthermore, Jareth told us nearby places to eat and local experiences we could have that wouldn’t be found on the internet.

Essentially, Jareth made us feel at home instantly. When we arrived back in Canada we tried listing our basement suite on the standard home rental websites, but the potential renters were below average. After no success, we decided to give Airbnb hosting a shot.

From the very first day, it has been an amazing experience. We got our first booking within a few hours and since then have grown to multiple properties. Along the way, we have made our fair share of mistakes like forgetting the top bedsheet, which got us our first 3-star review.

Now for the next question, what can you expect from Airbnb Universe? We will try to be as transparent and give as honest advice as we can. All the advice we are giving is from our Airbnb hosting or traveling experiences.

Both, together and separately my wife and I have traveled to Nicaragua (where we got engaged), Costa Rica, Panama, Thailand, Cambodia, Bali, Philippines, Mexico, most of the United States, and our home country Canada. Plus, we always have traveling lined up as soon as we touch back down on home soil.

Whether you have been struggling on your Airbnb listing or just want to see what’s out there, we hope Airbnb Universe can help! Enjoy and happy hosting/travels.
