A friend of mine and her husband own an island in Sweden. They hold retreats there and also rent it out as an Airbnb.

Airbnb

You heard this and didn't immediately request for them to step up to the guillotine? Are you even a Lemmy user?

Oh shit, you're right. Why do I even still consider her a friend? I need to cut her out of my life.

Actually, I haven't talked to her in a few years. We went to high school together ('89-'93) and just reconnect every so often.

Also I just looked it up and I was mistaken about the retreats. They actually let people stay for free at the island for a week. They call it "Ideas Island" and let creative people stay there to help them get the creative juices flowing. I read a quote from her husband that went something like: "Your book could change someone's life. If there's a book in you, write it."

But yes, they do also rent it out as an Airbnb.
