While I lived in Amsterdam I could have made LOTS of money from AirBnB, and again where I live now close to the mountains. However, I offer a room on CouchSurfing and to friends-of-friends in sporting activities I do..... for ZERO. Nada. Zip. Why should only those with deep pockets pay insane prices? An amazing stream of people from all walks of life have passed through my home able to enjoy things on a shoestring budget. In return each guest has offered the same gesture if I am ever in their country. You don't get that with AirBnB as paying customers!
