The more we travel at least to national parks and other hiking and for outdoorsy nature vacations, the more we prefer local AirBnBs. They offer plenty of space, great views with a backyard, a nicely stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, and best of all, different areas of the house to do our own thing afte... microblog.pratikmhatre.com

@pratik We’ve been doing an annual trip with my sister in laws family since 2019 and try to exclusively use Airbnb. We’ve never regretted it.

@jaheppler It definitely works great if you are traveling with a group.

@pratik I remember hitchhiking out of Estes Park many moons ago when I was just starting my travels. From my memory the breaks weren’t working properly on the vehicle that picked me. The driver managed to slow down, but I had to run, throw my pack in and then jump in after it.

You might ask why I chose to take the ride? Looking back over the years, a similar question goes through my mind - adventure and youth?

@pratik the only thing I took out of this was all 3 of you have energy left after a day out to do your own things lol. Our house tho we are ready to pounce and devour one another no matter where the other person is after a long day out 😂

@pratik Lovely! Haven't been to Estes Park since 1990s. It was the first place where I had rented a cottage/house for the weekend long before there was AirBnB. Have many fond memories from multiple trips there with friends from grad school.
