There are many reasons people choose to host through Airbnb and similar platforms. Some host primarily for the money, but many do it for the opportunity to meet new people and establish lifetime friendships.

Chris Lee from New York is such a host. In addition to hosting through Airbnb, Chris is also an avid user of www.couchsurfing.com.

Couchsurfing.com is much like Airbnb in that you can use the platform to host guests and stay with hosts in cities across the globe. However, with couch surfing, no money changes hands, and it’s all about the experience of meeting new people.

Chris is a Lindy Hop Dancer, (an American dance that evolved in Harlem, NY in the 20’s and 30’s), and uses these sites to find other dancers and attend meetups.

Some of the Topics covered:
•How Chris uses coachsurfing.com and Airbnb to meet and connect with new people
•The origins of Lindy Hop Dancing
•NY regulations
•Hands-on hosting (guest interaction)
•How Chris uses hostfully.com

This week Jasper interviews Rohan Gilkes, Co-founder innclusive.com.

Rohan started Innclusive after experiencing racial discrimination from an Airbnb host.

After his experience, Rohan gave Airbnb a couple of weeks to respond to his complaint, and when nothing was done, wrote an article entitled “I’m a black man. Here’s what happened when I booked an Airbnb”. The post went viral garnering over 400K views in 48 hours!
But Rohan didn’t stop there. He and his team recently launched innclusive.com which has systems and processes in place to guard against discrimination from hosts. Innclussive is currently accepting host’s and will start accepting guest's bookings in August of this year (2016)!
