Hello everyone! 😊

Welcome to the Community Center! 👋  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 🇳🇱 I have been on the Community Center for 6+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling🚲, playing football⚽, and travelling🌏 . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe. 

@Bhumika :  🌍 I was born in Gujarat, India 🇮🇳 , and shifted to Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 last year! 📷 I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. 🌆 When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.

@Paula : I am from Colombia 🇨🇴 and currently living in British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance 💃) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries 🌎 and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking 🚲 and hiking 🏔.

@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 🌿 and like to minimise my impact on the planet 🌎 as well as volunteering in my local community.  I love sea swimming 🌊 yoga on the beach 🧘‍ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! 🙌 

@Elisa : I was born in Italy 🇮🇹 and as a lover of unique experiences—from exploring the streets of Rome🇮🇹 , Paris 🇫🇷, and Toronto 🇨🇦 to appreciating timeless art and cuisine—I'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,

Bhumika

I am Prabina from Nepal, I am a new host. It's been 3 months I have listed my house but haven't received any response..

Thanks..

Hello @Prabina0 👋

Congratulations and a huge welcome to the Community Center! It's great to have you here with us. This will be a great space for you to get advice from other Hosts. 

My favourite boards are:
✨ Ask about your listing - You can ask other Hosts to critique your listing, you could be pleasantly surprised at what other people see!

✨ Advice on your space - This is great for general questions about your space specifically, for example, the amenities that you have at the property to what types of sheets that you use.

✨ Help with your business - You can ask those nitty gritty questions about taxes, payouts and more in this section. 

✨ Support with your bookings - Ask for support from Hosts who have mastered the art of hospitality - from reviews, communicating with guests to cancellations. 

We can't wait to see you around on the Community 😍

Congratulations and a huge welcome to the Community Center! It's great to have you here with us. The photograph you've shared with us is beautiful! Was it a recent photo? 

This community forum serves as a platform to facilitate meaningful conversations among hosts, encouraging open discussions about topics that matter to Airbnb hosts. If you head to 'start a conversation', you can ask our very knowledgeable community members for support. 

Enjoy connecting with fellow hosts and thriving in your hosting journey.

Hi. I moved to Mishawaka, Indiana from San Diego, California about a year and a half ago with the intention of retiring soon. I enjoy international travel, the history, the architecture, the different cultures, and the beauty of differing landscapes through my camera lens. 

I dipped my toes into hosting in September of this year by listing my home for rent for football weekends at the nearby university. I had my first booking within hours of posting it to Airbnb. Now hoping to scale this up into a consistent form of passive income for a retirement that would allow me to travel more and enjoy life!
