The stuff that matters in life is no longer stuff. It's other people. It's relationships. It's experience. ”

If you want to create a great product, just focus on one person. Make that one person have the most amazing experience ever. ”

Travel is a new experience that can transport you out of your everyday routine to create memories with the ones you love. ”

My life is longer because of the journeys I have taken. ”

Culture is a thousand things, a thousand times. It's living the core values when you hire; when you write an email; when you are working on a project; when you are walking in the hall. ”

Our shared vision of belonging is the thread that weaves through every touchpoint on Airbnb. ”

The American dream, what we were taught was, grow up, own a car, own a house. I think that dream's completely changing. We were taught to keep up with the Joneses. Now we're sharing with the Joneses. ”

The culture is what creates the foundation for all future innovation. If you break the culture, you break the machine that creates your products. ”

Our culture is the foundation for our company. ”

Airbnb is different from most brands. We're a community of individuals, and yet there's a consistency holding us together through the values we share. We have a common belief in belonging, but everyone's expression of it will naturally always be a little different. ”
