6 Reasons Airbnbs are Better than Hotels

Hotels are a pain in the butt. They're expensive and it's hard to find one that has a great location plus everything you need at a great price. It's time to ditch the hotels and start using Airbnb.

1. Price

For the price of a hotel you can rent a whole house. Why pay more for a room when you can get a whole house? Also you can rent a bedroom at a house usually between $30-$50 which is way cheaper than even most motels.

2. The Amenities

At a hotel you sometimes get a dinky hair dryer and a coffee maker. If you're really lucky you might get a microwave or minifridge. With Airbnb you can rent a place that has a whole kitchen you can use and a hair dryer that won't take you all morning to dry your hair with.

3. Personalized Filters

Hotels are pretty standard when it comes to what they have to offer. With Airbnb though you can personalize your experience and find a place that usually fits all your needs and desires. With all the different filters you can apply to your search it is so much easier to find the perfect place to stay at.

4. You're Helping Everyday People

https://www.google.com/search?q=airbnb+filters&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwicsLXMr4vcAhUMJHwKHawuB6YQ_AUICigB&biw=926&bih=740&dpr=1.13#imgrc=3EMyxPLTbehwvM:

Staying at a hotel you're only giving money to someone who already has so much. By staying in an Airbnb you're helping a family be able to make extra money or help a college kid afford their basic needs. It's like shopping in a local store rather than a nationwide chain store.

5. Check In Is A Breeze

https://www.google.com/search?biw=934&bih=740&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=B9k_W9ikCpPe8AOEj6aoBQ&q=airbnb+host&oq=airbnb+host&gs_l=img.3..0l10.33372.35665.0.35754.13.10.0.0.0.0.235.882.2-4.4.0....0...1c.1.64.img..9.4.879.0..35i39k1j0i67k1.0.eyON1FD8aSw#imgrc=n0_xo92rHNyumM:

There is no waiting in lines, there's no waiting for a room to be ready, at most places you just show up and that is the extent to checking in. It allows you to relax and get down to business a lot sooner than most hotels.

6. There Usually Aren't Other Guests

With Airbnb you can choose to book at a place where it will just be you staying there. It's very relaxing to be able to come back to a place and have it feel like you're basically at home.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
