Want to learn how to be an exceptional host without wasting HOURS of your precious time surfing and listening to stuff you don't need to know?

This course will FAST TRACK you to making money that you can spend traveling, renovating, paying bills, donating to charity or whatever you want to do with it.

In less than an hour you'll know if hosting is for you, how to get started accepting guests, and seeing the money role in.

  • Are you looking to welcome travellers into your home while earning extra income using space you already have?
  • Travel often and are looking to have your home occupied?

Hosting with Airbnb came out of a need for cat care. I travel a fair amount and needed someone to take care of Violet.

Airbnb was new, I'd used it a few times myself and thought ... this could be an option.

I made sure people knew she was going to be here. MUCH to my surprise, people were THRILLED. They missed their own pet and felt I was a more trustworthy person because I had one.

In my 20s I was a tour leader taking Americans all around the world. Hospitality and adventure are a part of my DNA.

I've been a teacher all my life. Starting with elementary and middle school to my work now with adults.

As I've worked with top college students I've discovered how many of them have LinkedIn profiles and why it's so important to get started sooner rather than later.

I enjoy teaching different types of people from all walks of life across the globe how to better relate to each other. Having lived in Thailand, the Philippines and Europe, I've learned how to adapt and succeed in multicultural settings.

I was even the commencement speaker at MIT Charm School. Yes there is such a thing.

My books are published by McGraw-Hill in 9 languages. You can learn more from www.DianeDarling.com.

My work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, International Herald Tribune, on MSNBC and CBS Sunday Morning.

In order to overcome my fear of public speaking I took standup comedy and acting class.

Violet and I look forward to sharing our insights and learnings with you.

Happy hosting!
