Hi Singles in NYC. What do you feel about sharing 2-3 bedroom Airbnb apartment in your travel destination with other stranger singles to split the expenses? If their ID, address, work emails are verified, and have gotten to know each other a bit through Facebook chat in advance. Too reckless?

Depends where the “travel destination” is

smart

I stay in hostels when I travel, which involves none of this, and clearly I don’t view that as reckless. Though everyone there is responsible for their own bill and you’re not risking bad ratings on your profile or whatever due to someone else’s behavior. And it’s less isolated. How would this be arranged? I probably wouldn’t do it over Craigslist.

Facebook singles travel group. Not a popular discussion there but was thinking about it as what if. I like to stay in where I like, not hostel, not hotel. But most of the place I choose to stay is 2-3 bedrooms so trying to come out with a way of splitting the cost when I travel alone which is most of the time. No need to be friend or travel together, just my room, your room. Let's keep it professional. Feels like ok but also feel like I only see what I want to see in this choice.

The nicer hostels in Europe have private rooms with attached private baths and smack in convenient locations. Some of the newer ones look more like boutique hotels than the awful hostels of yore

Not even just Europe!

Sometimes even traveling with good friends is the worst. Maybe strangers will be more respectful to each other but you really know nothing about them.

I had split a 3 bedroom apartment in Manhattan with 2 strangers before… they were a nightmare but the apartment was worth it

Oh my. That sounds tough. Well you are free now. 😄 Thanks for sharing. I guess we could meet a person beforehand but you never know until you know.

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

For anyone else looking to do the same, I’m happy to answer anything about the process - check in, flights, mask usage, security, visa checks, airports, social distancing, etc.
