Thank you everyone for your comments. Just to clarify, the question is not about past addresses, but the future one which I need to get now. It's unclear to me if I can use UPS for this purpose or not? If not, then what are my options? What address should be my primary address if I don't really have one?

It should be the physical address you're living at. You can specify a different mailing address (UPS mailbox, someone else's address, ...) if you know you won't be there for long or don't want to be receiving mail there. Presenting the UPS address as your actual address is not a great idea (they specifically want to know where YOU were/are), but it's your call in the end.

Your future address needs to be a residential address - where you are living. This cannot be a UPS address. A UPS address is not a residential address. This can be your mailing address, but it cannot be your current residential / primary address.

Do you have any friends who are willing to help?

I will ask my friends to see if anyone wants to help.

UPS was just looking like a convenient option and I still don't get how exactly it would be different from using a friend's address.

So, a physical address at the very exact moment I submit the application, correct? And every time I move to a new address I notify them about this?

You have to provide a home address. You cannot live at a UPS office so this can only be your mailing address and not your home address.

At the time you apply, use your airbnb address at that time for your home address. Use the UPS address as your mailing address.
