The Words of Pico Iyer Accompany Airbnb Ad
From Airbnb
“Over the last year, we’ve invited dozens of photographers to take trips on Airbnb with their family and friends, and capture their trips on film. Each trip has been unique, but they all share the magic of hosted travel, which begins with taking a plunge. This latest film sets the words of travel writer Pico Iyer against photos taken by a collection of photographers who’ve traveled on Airbnb.”
“The secret point of travel is to take a plunge, to venture into uncertainty.” —Pico Iyer
