We’re Visiting All 50 States to Find the Coolest Kids Airbnbs (Series Kickoff)
Summary
Kylee and Steven are embarking on a family road trip to visit all 50 states. They plan to stay in unique, kid-friendly Airbnbs and showcase their experience of running an STR business while traveling. They will also take viewers behind the scenes of issues that come up with their business and how they are solved from the road. A key differentiator of their trip is that their children will have the final say in the Airbnbs they choose, and that they are traveling in an all-electric truck.
