Courtney Boyd Myers is incredibly busy, organized, and talented. She leads audience.io, edits three newsletters, advises Second Home, pens columns on Medium, writes for The Next Web and The Daily Beast, and is a curator for Summit Series. Our favorite part: Courtney uses MakeSpace as her remote control home.

Tyler Tringas was living out of a backpack and working off his laptop in SouthEast Asia when he had to make a quick trip back to the States to attend a friend’s wedding in Vermont. This probably sounds like a logistical nightmare, but Tyler had a plan. He landed in New York City, met a MakeSpace driver in the lobby of his hotel, unpacked his tuxedo, and went to the wedding the following morning. No sweat.

Curbed New York has good news for all you world travelers based in New York City this morning! It looks like a ruling from a Manhattan Housing Court judge may have set a precedent allowing New Yorkers to legally rent out their apartments on Airbnb, despite the fact that New York City law explicitly prohibits subletting your apartment to someone for less than 30 days.

Any New Yorker will tell you that one of the hardest parts of living in New York City is leaving New York City. Spending three months in Spain is a distant dream for most of us, because traditionally, a trip like that would entail abandoning your lease, moving all of your stuff to a storage facility, and finding a new job when you get back to the States. After you’ve spent a month hunting on Craigslist for the perfect apartment, the last thing you want to do is give it up.
