The Airbnb team is getting restless. With #TravelTuesday now fully underway, wanderlust has won out over work. We have decided its time for a trip. A long one. Airbnb wants you to join us on this journey as we go around the world in 80 tweets.
The Trip Around the World in 80 Tweets begins March 2nd at 9:00 AM from Airbnb Headquarters in San Francisco and ends March 9th back where we started. Clear your calendar now as we are preparing to give away steep discounts for accommodations in 80 cities around the globe for the next 7 days. All coupons will be expiring at 11:59PM on the next #TravelTuesday, March 9th. Stay tuned as the journey progresses and the discounts get even crazier.
