What has changed for Josh Johnson since his last appearance?

I'm definitely a sunshine girl, so any chance to spend time by the water, whether it's at the beach or just sitting by the pool, makes me so happy.

And when we're back home, we could list the place in Florida on Airbnb instead of letting it sit empty. What makes that idea feel much more manageable now is the co-host network.

A co-host can help create the listing, manage reservations, message guests, and help make sure everything runs smoothly for guests during their stay.
