Ever hear of the site Airbnb? It’s a travel startup that helps you book places to rent or stay wherever you are in the world. The interesting twist is that you can book some pretty ridiculous places, like a boat, a castle, or even an igloo.

A couple of weeks ago, they booked their 1 millionth night stayed. To celebrate, the company had an infographic made telling the story of their 1 million bookings. As you can see below, it pretty much encapsulates you think of when you think of “infographic.” Everything from the fonts to the graphics layout to the the story told is exquisitely crafted. (great tidbit - ”First home saved from foreclosure by renting through Airbnb”)

So take heed, LA entrepreneurs, if you’re wanting an infographic made, take some inspiration from this one:
