0:00.0	Guys it's that time of year when lots of people jet off to have their Euro summer so we thought it would be a nice time to reflect on our own travels.
0:07.6	Yeah, Mitch, we love a little trip down memory lane. One of my favorite holidays of all time was my Europe trip last year. I know you're the same last year. I actually flew to Italy and
0:16.8	drove to the countryside to catch up with a whole group of friends. It was like the perfect mix of a social
0:22.2	trip that was also relaxing.
0:23.7	Yeah, that's absolutely the goal for any trip of mine.
0:26.4	I hate coming back from a holiday and feeling like I need a second holiday to recover.
0:31.1	So give us all the details, Zazzie. What made this stay so special?
0:34.7	Oh it was Aracom for sure. I actually made a great Tik-Tok about it.
0:37.6	If that makes say so myself, I don't make very good Tik-Tok.
0:39.9	Hey! But this one was good. We stayed in the countryside as I said and being a group we wanted a place that gave us a heap of space but also a bit of privacy as well. So Airbnb provided us with exactly that.

0:53.9	They're awesome because you have your own space
0:55.9	in your own room, but feel really close to your friends and family
0:58.9	if you're going on a group trip,
1:00.1	and the point is to spend time together.
1:01.9	Yeah, 100%. We were able to hang out just with our group of friends.
1:05.0	We had some iconic dinners on our outdoor table as a group looking over the countryside as well as
1:09.5	some mid-afternoon apparel.
1:10.7	Beside one of the more picturesque pools you've ever seen, I am not sure I will ever have a holiday that could get.
1:15.3	With trips like that in mind, Airbnb has you covered. Plus the reviews and ratings help you find
1:21.5	exactly what you're looking for with confidence.
1:23.9	Thank you so much to Airbnb for making this episode of shameless possible.
