Presentable and rentable


Only a few trembling days left of my 2 month paternity leave now unfortunately. The days and weeks have just flown past but we are definitely satisfied with how we’ve spent this time and we are most definitely keen on more! So, an idea of a longer multi-stop trip over to North America has been born and we have dusted off the old imaginary drawing board to see when it would be best to go, where we want to go, what we can afford, what our best travel options are etc. Stuff like that.

As the idea is to be away for maybe 2 months; we are also looking into the possibility of renting out our flat for at least part of that time and Shaena (you may have heard her gospel or seen shared links fly by already) has fallen truly, madly, deeply in love with this website called Airbnb.com. Basically it’s an accommodations rental website, only much cooler.

Airbnb recently sent out an offer to their members for a photo service where one of their photographers would come out and take photos of your home for free. Shaena of course jumped right on that and signed us up and today we actually had a professional photographer coming home to us to snap what we hope will be some cool, selling photos.

To prepare for the photographer's arrival we’ve been tidying and cleaning and been trying to keep our home clutter free at least until after the photo session (not the easiest with a 2,5 year old tornado and his mini-me in the house though). Shaena went around the flat snapping some preliminary photos earlier today before the guy got here and we think we are in good shape! We should have access to the photos in a couple of days so we’ll of course share some of them here as well.

The photographer’s name is Rob Schoenbaum and he is a native New Yorker who’s been living in Sweden for the past 8 years. We obviously checked him out beforehand and he looks like a pretty talented guy! Check out some of his work here: www.robschoenbaum.com

Anyway, this photo session and the flat rental may be a smaller piece of the puzzle for this next big adventure but we are sure excited about the prospect of a big trip!

So, North Americans… who would like a visit!? Drop us a comment and maybe we’ll pin you on our map! ;)
