Hello everyone! ๐
Welcome to the Community Center! ๐ I'm @Bhumika , one of the Community Managers for our English Community Center along with my lovely team members @Quincy @Paula @Rebecca and @Elisa and we are thrilled to have you join us.
Let's kickstart this thread with a little about us Community Managers:
@Quincy : I'm from the Netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ I have been on the Community Center for 6+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling๐ฒ, playing footballโฝ, and travelling๐ . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe.
@Bhumika : ๐ I was born in Gujarat, India ๐ฎ๐ณ , and shifted to Toronto, Canada ๐จ๐ฆ last year! ๐ท I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. ๐ When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.
@Paula : I am from Colombia ๐จ๐ด and currently living in British Columbia, Canada ๐จ๐ฆ. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance ๐) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries ๐ and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking ๐ฒ and hiking ๐.
@Rebecca : I'm from Cardiff in Wales originally but being a military child and a veterans spouse, I've travelled and lived in a lot of different places in the UK and Europe. I'm an environmentalist ๐ฟ and like to minimise my impact on the planet ๐ as well as volunteering in my local community. I love sea swimming ๐ yoga on the beach ๐งโ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! ๐
@Elisa : I was born in Italy ๐ฎ๐น and as a lover of unique experiencesโfrom exploring the streets of Rome๐ฎ๐น , Paris ๐ซ๐ท, and Toronto ๐จ๐ฆ to appreciating timeless art and cuisineโI'm here to blend the old with the new.
Now it's your turn! Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from? And is there something special about the location of your accommodation that you'd like to share?
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Warm regards,

Hallo, mein Name ist Carola, bin Grafikerin, komme aus Deutschland und habe zwei erwachsene Sรถhne. Ich wohne in Friedrichshafen direkt am Bodensee und bin seit etwas รผber einem Monat Gastgeber auf Airbnb. Es ist richtig toll, รผber diesen Weg so viele verschiedene Leute kennenzulernen, Airbnb ist klasse! Ich bin sehr gerne Gastgeber und freue mich, wenn die Leute einen schรถnen Urlaub am See haben. Ich selbst werde jetzt fรผr einige Wochen nach Kalifornien reisen und hoffe, auch von dort aus die Airbnb Nachrichten weiter einsehen zu kรถnnen. Um alles weitere vor Ort kรผmmern sich dann meine Sรถhne.
Herzliche Grรผรe, Carola

Hello, my name is Carola, I am a graphic designer, come from Germany and have two grown-up sons. I live in Friedrichshafen directly on Lake Constance and have been a host on Airbnb for just over a month. It's really great to meet so many different people this way, Airbnb is great! I really enjoy being a host and am happy when people have a great vacation by the lake. I will be traveling to California for a few weeks now and hope to be able to continue checking the Airbnb news from there. My sons will then take care of everything else on site.
Best regards, Carola

Liebe @Elisa , auf Deine Frage will ich gerne antworten. Meine schรถnste Erfahrung als neues Airbnb Mitglied war die Begegnung mit einer jungen Mutter, die alleine mit ihrem 11 Monate alten Baby unterwegs war. Anfangs war ich skeptisch, auch hatte ich keine Babyausstattung. Habe aber schnell noch einen Kinderhochsitz und ein Reisebett besorgt fรผr alle Fรคlle. Die Dankbarkeit der Mutter war รผberwรคltigend und das Baby war so ein sรผรer Wonneproppen, dass mir gleich das Herz aufging. Ich hatte richtig Freude an den beiden und die Freude kam auch zurรผck. Das war meine schรถnste, weil emotionalste Erfahrung bisher. Viele Grรผรe, Carola

Dear @Elisa , I would like to answer your question. My best experience as a new Airbnb member was meeting a young mother who was traveling alone with her 11-month-old baby. I was skeptical at first, and I didn't have any baby equipment. But I quickly got a high chair and a travel cot just in case. The mother's gratitude was overwhelming and the baby was such a sweet bundle of joy that my heart sank immediately. I really enjoyed them both and the joy came back to me. It was my most beautiful and emotional experience so far. Best regards, Carola

Dear @Carola263,
What a touching experience and thank you for sharing it! ๐
It's heartwarming to hear how you accommodate the young mother and her baby.
Do you find yourself making similar adjustments for other guests now?
Warm regards,

Liebe @Carola263,
Was fรผr ein berรผhrendes Erlebnis und danke, dass du es geteilt hast! ๐
Es ist herzerwรคrmend zu hรถren, wie Sie der jungen Mutter und ihrem Baby entgegenkommen.
Machst du jetzt รคhnliche Anpassungen fรผr andere Gรคste?
Herzliche Grรผรe,

Hi, everyone! ๐๐ My name is Jacob. I am from Denmark ๐ฉ๐ฐ Been a Copenhagen resident for the last twenty years. Only started hosting last year, but absolutely love it and made Superhost! ๐Having the chance to meet so many nice people as guests while sharing my apartment when I am away - and turning a buck - is the perfect setup for me.
I only had one unpleasant experience, but Aircover came to the rescue. Hope that I can become an even better host by joining this community.
Kind regards
Jacob

Hi Elisa
I usually tell where the nearest supermarket is ๐ But Actually I never got around to making a written guide for the neighbourhood. But it is my aspiration over winter. There is so much to dishover ๐คฉRestaurants, bars, parcs, museums.
