About the host
Hosted by Chad Knudson
Ever since watching the movie The Holiday in 2006, it's been a dream of mine to swap my home for others around the world. VRBO allows my family to follow this dream! Here’s several things we like about hosting on VRBO...
1) Interaction with Guests: As a VRBO host from Minneapolis who loves to travel, I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to connect with guests from all over the world. It's fulfilling to share insights about my city while also learning about their travel experiences and sharing our mutual love for exploration.
2) Hospitality: Hosting on VRBO allows me to extend warm hospitality to my guests. Being a traveler myself, I understand the importance of feeling welcome and comfortable in a new place, so I strive to create a memorable experience for every guest who stays at my properties.
3) Flexibility: Balancing hosting duties with my passion for travel provides a unique flexibility. I can manage my property rental schedule in a way that allows me to continue exploring new destinations while still providing a welcoming home base for my guests.
4) Financial Benefits: Renting out my property on VRBO not only provides a supplementary income stream but also funds my own travel adventures. This reciprocal relationship between hosting and travel makes the financial aspect even more rewarding and fulfilling.
5) Creativity and Design: Designing each property differently and infusing the spaces with elements inspired by my favorite travel destinations adds a personal touch that I hope guests appreciate and enjoy.
6) Sense of Accomplishment: Successfully managing VRBO properties not only provides a sense of accomplishment but also allows me to shape the travel experiences of others. Knowing that I'm contributing to memorable vacations for my guests while pursuing my own passion for travel is incredibly fulfilling.
