Around the world

In Savannah, Georgia, I stayed in a cute, studio apartment, a stone’s throw from the city’s famous Forsyth Park. In Charlotte, North Carolina, I slept in the spare bedroom of a young couple who cooked me scrambled eggs in the morning. In Bryson City, North Carolina, my friends and I spent a weekend in a luxury cabin on the outskirts of town, complete with hot tub and mountain views.

No doubt about it, Airbnb has changed how we experience the places we visit. And for one Maryland family, it has changed the way they live. Read about them and their extended Chattanooga stay in our first story below.
