8 Airbnbs We'd Like to Move Into
I don't know about you, but I am getting extremely excited to travel again. It was obviously the right thing to bar international movement during the pandemic, but that only made my wanderlust stronger. As someone with a goal to visit one new international destination per year, 2020 was not good to me. Now that I have my vaccination, I'm optimistic by the news that many countries are planning to reopen to Americans soon! The EU signaled in May that they would reopen over the summer, and many other nations have been following suit. Although it still feels uncertain, it appears that we may finally have the opportunity to safely travel overseas again. Be right back as I take a happy dance break.
While there are many variables I consider with my travel lodging, the primary factor that tips the scale is location. I would rather be in a charming neighborhood, near water, or close to key sites than to have more upscale accommodation. Thankfully, Airbnb can be a tremendous resource for finding awesome spaces in the best areas. My husband and I primarily stay in Airbnbs when we travel, and have only ever had positive experiences abroad. The only negative experiences I've had, oddly enough, have been in the States. Because of the fact that I've had over 20 positive stays, I feel confident in recommending it, but definitely read reviews for each place.
I know that I said I prioritize location, but that doesn't mean I want to skimp on style! We spend most of our time on vacation out of the Airbnbs, but I certainly want to enjoy our time spent. As a decor-buff, I thoroughly enjoy getting to see how other people bring their home's character to life through artwork, furnishings, and accents. Not only is it a great source for inspiration within my own home, but it's also a way to learn more about local culture and traditions.
Now that I'm fully down the wanderlust rabbit-hole, I couldn't help but round up some of the dreamiest Airbnbs across the globe. These really nail the "wow" factor for me, ranging from some eclectic and some modern designs, and now I want to move in (fine, I'd settle for a visit). Please tackle a seat, stow your personal items under the seat in front of you, buckle up, and enjoy this journey with me!

Stop 7: Santiago, Chile
