BUILD A FREEDOM-BASED AIRBNB BUSINESS — DIFFERENTLY

You don’t need to own property.

You don’t need to speak to guests if you don’t want to.
You don’t need to give up your time freedom to earn well.
You just need the right strategy, and the confidence to start.

WELCOME TO THE AIRBNB SIDE OF

DIFFERENTLY BUSINESS SCHOOL

We teach freedom-seekers, purpose-led entrepreneurs, and people who were never meant to live inside a box — how to build short-term rental businesses that support the life they actually want.

WHY DIFFERENTLY?

Because the world doesn’t need another soul-less, hustle-based Airbnb program.


And you don’t need another side hustle that burns you out.

HERE IS HOW WE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY...

Real-World Options

Whether you want to host from your own home, rent to rent, manage for others, or build an Airbnb empire — we show you all the pathways.

Freedom First

The business should fund your life, not consume it.

 

Build a business that you love, on your own terms.

Values Aligned

Family life, travel, education freedom, health journeys — your Airbnb business should flex around your unique life, not force you into someone else’s blueprint.

Community

You don’t have to do this alone.

 

This is a space where values-aligned entrepreneurs walk beside you.

You don’t need to own property.

You don’t need to speak to guests if you don’t want to.
You don’t need to give up your time freedom to earn well.
You just need the right strategy, and the confidence to start.

WE HELP YOU DESIGN, BUILD, OR UPGRADE A SHORT-TERM RENTAL BUSINESS THAT FUNDS YOUR FREEDOM — WHETHER YOU’RE STARTING FROM SCRATCH, HOSTING ALREADY, OR READY TO SCALE.

CAN WE HELP YOU?

Whether you’re just starting out, already hosting, or ready to build a full portfolio — this is for you if:

  • Brand New to Airbnb

    Complete beginners who are exploring short-term rentals but haven’t started yet — often because they’re afraid of missing something important or getting it wrong.

  • Existing Hosts Ready to Uplevel

    Existing hosts who already have a space on Airbnb and want to uplevel — improve their listings, attract more bookings, expand to multiple platforms, set up a website, and add direct bookings and marketing.

  • Professionals Ready to Rise

    Aspiring portfolio builders who want to go all in from the start — building a short-term rental business through rental arbitrage, co-hosting, or managing properties for others.

Wondering where to begin?

CHOOSE YOUR PATH: WORK WITH US BASED ON WHERE YOU'RE AT

Not all hosts are the same — and you shouldn’t be given the same roadmap.

At Differently, we’ve created tailored offerings to meet you exactly where you are — whether you're just starting, ready to uplevel your space, or building an empire from scratch.

ABOUT US

I’m Tamryn — founder of Differently Business School and freedom-based entrepreneur.

 

What started with one experimental listing has grown into a multiple six-figure short-term rental business, with a portfolio of properties on the North Coast of South Africa. We’ve hosted thousands of guests through Airbnb and direct bookings, maintain Superhost status, and have earned 400+ five-star reviews.

 

Our business is fully systemised to fund the life we want — supporting our family’s freedom-based lifestyle and worldschooling journey.

 

Alongside hosting, I run a digital marketing agency, and since 2018, I’ve taught hundreds of students through Differently Business School’s Airbnb programs — helping beginners, existing hosts, and portfolio builders grow profitable, freedom-first short-term rental businesses.

WHO JOINS OUR COMMUNITY - AND LOVES IT

Our community attracts freedom-first people from all walks of life — and that’s what makes it so special. You’ll find worldschooling and homeschooling parents building flexible income to support alternative education paths, neurodivergent entrepreneurs creating businesses that honour their energy and creativity, empty nesters reinventing their next chapter with income that funds travel and flexibility, and corporate escapees building income on their own terms. We also welcome healers, coaches, creatives, and changemakers wanting income that aligns with their values, and families navigating health journeys seeking income streams that offer time and location freedom. The common thread? We’re all here to create renewable, freedom-based income — and to design businesses that serve life, not the other way around.

READY TO DO THIS DIFFERENTLY?

PS. You don't need to be an expert.
