Home owners welcome travellers like members of their own family and there’s hardly ever a chance for a visitor to feel out of place or unwelcome when they are on their own, exploring. There’s warmth and love that you get which might become the fondest part of your travel memories. Now, the lovely Hollywood and Bollywood homes too have a potential to become a part of a traveller's 'checked-off' list than just staying on the bucket list.

Bilbao’s transformation from rust belt city to flourishing culture hub is truly remarkable. The city’s Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim Museum put Bilbao on the map when it opened back in 1997. Since then the Basque capital has been on an ever upward ascent, winning the European City of the Year in 2018. Visitors to the area are rewarded with a lively dining scene, breathtaking architecture and an unforgettable cityscape. Bilbao will also become a top destination for sports fans: it’s one of the host cities of Europe’s most beloved soccer competition in 2020. (airbnb)

Once the guests discovered the museum’s wonders, they got to enjoy their Home for the night in the presence of some truly legendary hosts: toast the Mona Lisa with a cosy Renaissance inspired aperitif, while relaxing on a sumptuous Parisian lounge sofa, listening to the atmospheric sounds of French music on vinyl records. Venus of Milo, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, then “hosted” an extravagant feast in a pop up dining room, following which, guests were treated to an intimate acoustic concert in Napoleon III’s lavish Apartments.

Airbnb and Ocean Conservancy announced the Antarctic Sabbatical, an unprecedented opportunity for five passionate individuals to travel to Earth’s most remote continent and join Antarctic Scientist Kirstie Jones-Williams on a first-of-its-kind scientific research mission in December. The five volunteer citizen scientists will collect snow samples and study the extent to which micro plastics have made their way to the interior of Antarctica. The goal of the Antarctic Sabbatical is to bring greater awareness to humans’ impact on the climate in one of the world’s least understood and most isolated ecosystems. By understanding the impact of plastic pollution generated elsewhere in the world, the citizen scientists will deliver insights on how the global community can help protect both Antarctica and the planet.
