Ask HN: Would you Airbnb with 4-6 strangers?

I've been doing the remote work thing for a couple of years now and it's obviously quite socially isolating.

I'd love to travel and co-work with friends regularly but my personal network is only so deep to reliably count on those known travel companions.

Is there a world where others in a similar position would trust 4-6 (identity verified) strangers with similar preferences to leisurely travel or co-work out of a shared AirBnB and generally socialize in the evenings or around shared hobbies (i.e. surfing, rock climbing, meditation, a book club, etc.).

I think that a shared house and a 4-8 person group provides the most cost effective and socially conducive environment -- they are genuinely the most fun experiences of my life. Clearly, though, they require sufficient trust and safety.

If strangers are a bridge too far, would you self-organize trips like this with co-workers if planning were simple?
