I hope you'll think about not using vacation rentals like airbnb. I obviously have no clue what you actually do on vacation.

They're so destructive to local communities. Homes are for living, not some ~~entrepreneurs~~ dickbags financial instrument.

This is true but I think it's worth noting that the most impactful and worst aspects of AirBnB and its ilk are from investors buying old apartment buildings and renting them out like hotels, while dodging all the living standards and financial regulations of actual hotels. If they get away with this it absolutely wrecks the local low-income housing market.

Private homeowners renting out rooms in their houses, or even renting out their whole house, for vacationers are not really the problem.

Couch surfing and hostels for the win.

I'll never use Airbnb or anything like it.

Camping, sometimes I pull my 5th wheel with my truck, but usually when I go on vacation I camp in my huge tents
