The Story of Turning a Room in My Home into an Airbnb [Creative Awards 2025 - Intermediate Selection Passed]

I loved staying at the homes of locals when traveling abroad. Feeling it was a waste that I could only do this during my few trips a year, I realized: I should just host travelers in my own home! This is a record of hosting travelers from all over the world by running an Airbnb in a spare room of my house. Over 100 guests from 18 countries have come to stay!

(Update) This work has passed the intermediate selection for the Comic Essay category of the note Creative Awards 2025. I would be happy if you could support me!
