I wouldn't recommend that, but you'll be amazed at what you can do once you get your boots on the ground.You're clearly driven (19 years old), understand follow-through (as evidenced by your replies to every post on here), and know what work is (currently working full-time while learning a new trade).

For this reason, reviews should focus on your interactions with other community members and your time during the stay or experience.To keep reviews relevant, we recommend avoiding the following:Commentary about a person’s social, political, or religious viewsProfanity, name calling, and assumptions about a person’s character or personalityContent that refers to circumstances entirely outside of another’s controlContent about services not related to Airbnb (for example, an airline, rideshare, restaurant, etc.)Commentary about past Airbnb reservations, hosts, or guests, or about the Airbnb product where it does not relate to the listing, host or guest you are ratingWhen we receive a report of a review that violates this policy, we may remove the review from our platform.
