In reply to Sandy. You're welcome Sandy! Browsing Airbnb is one of my favorite time-wasters ;-)

In reply to becky hutner. I agree, that would totally freak me out. As for renting a room in someone's home... I've never done it but depending on the host, I'd be open to it. Typically I avoid it because despite my profession and my bubbly online personality (which is indeed genuine!) I really do recharge from having alone time and so if I can have a bit of anonymity and privacy in my travels, it is rare and I grab it!

A very fun read for this Airbnb diehard who makes wish lists on that site for places she has no immediate plans to visit!

Just read in the comments you are also afraid of the dark? Oh girl, we are so alike. For solo trips, have you ever considered a private room in someone’s home through Airbnb? I’ve been curious about this option. Something I wouldn’t do — stay in a standalone property by myself. Eeek!

In reply to Katie. I spent HOURS on Airbnb before this trip, ha ha... figured I better put them to good use ;)

In reply to Pauline. No way! That is so fun! Both the hosts I stayed with were fabulous too and truly went above and beyond what I expected. Considering the language barrier it was SO nice to have hosts I could easily ask questions to via text anytime.

In reply to Ijana Loss. Yup! Even if I don't talk to a single soul in a hostel or hotel, I just like knowing they are there, ha ha.

Great info! Sounds like Airbnb is a good option to have for Brazil, especially if you’re traveling with someone else. I’m same as you, I don’t like renting apartments when I travel solo, but when I’m with a friend they’re great!
