It's just really fun to, to see some of those, some of those trips take place and I think some, some really lifelong memories, you know, that, that people are going to make. So that's really exciting.

In a cabin in the north of the state where I am, and the lady who met said, no, I went away last weekend. That's why we couldn't have people come that weekend. It's my first trip away for 20 years. And I was like, how do people host without going away and enjoying themselves? Because I think it's really important to remember that people are making memories, especially for. For the hosts that are listening to this, who host for leisure. I know there's myself included to do some sort of midterm and some corporate stays, workstays, things like that. But ultimately there's a lot of people who travel for leisure and it is about creating those memories. These are things which last a lifetime, you know, and we should be doing it as well as hosts.
