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 and @Rebecca 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,

Hi. Am David. I was born and live in Uganda. I love Nature ๐ฑ๐ , reading, and travel. I am new to the community, having just listed for hosting. My tiny homes are in a Biodiversity hotspot and an Important Bird Area called Mabamba. I'm looking forward to an exciting experience as a host and member of this community.
Hi @Nature27, sounds like you are really offering a unique experience for Guests very close to nature! ๐ I hope you share photos soon of the local area, I bet it's stunning!
Hello - I'm Jaye from Oxford, in the UK. I have a busy Airbnb in Jericho in Oxford and I'm also a Tour Guide in Oxford - walking and cycle tours! I love living here so sharing our Airbnb and showing people around this wonderful city makes me very happy!
Hello from a fellow Briton ๐๐ฝ @Jaye51
I've heard great things about Oxford! I visited a couple of months ago but never really got to explore, I hope my next visit I get the chance to take in the sights ๐. How is your Hosting journey going so far?
Hallo,
ich bin Melanie aus der schรถnen Region rund um den Rhein und die Ahr (20km von Bonn, 40km von Kรถln und 40 km zum Nรผrburgring). Ich liebe meine Heimat, von hier ist man schnell in der Natur (Eifel), aber auch schnell in den Nachbarlรคndern Holland, Belgien oder Luxemburg.
Ich bin seit Juni Gastgeber รผber airbnb, aber heute zum ersten Mal intensiv in der Community am stรถbern.
Ich habe vor vier Jahren meine Leidenschaft Motorradfahren entdeckt und habe seitdem sehr viele schรถne Ecken in meiner Umgebung entdeckt, die sogar ich nicht kannte.
Gastgeberin zu sein ist ebenfalls eine Leidenschaft, den ich habe einige Jahre in der Gastronomie gearbeitet und bin hauptberuflich Kรถchin, war aber mehr Jahre im Service tรคtig.
Es freut mich Teil dieser Community sein zu dรผrfen.

Herzlich Willkommen im Airbnb Community Center! Es wurde aber auch Zeit, dass du uns findest! ๐
Ich kann zwar selbst kein Motorrad fahren, aber ich stelle mir es als ideales Transportmittel fรผr Erkundungen vor, gerade auch wenn es mal ab der Hauptstraรen geht. Vorausgesetzt natรผrlich gutes Wetter ist mit dabei! โ๏ธ
Du scheinst eine gute Portion Erfahrung zum Gastgeben mitzubringen. Kochst oder backst du auch manchmal etwas fรผr deine Gรคste?
Ich sehe, du hast auch das deutschsprachige CC bereits gefunden, aber fรผr alle, die hier mitlesen und der deutschen Sprache angeeignet sind, hier geht es direkt zum โก๏ธ deutschsprachigen CC! ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฆ๐น๐จ๐ญ
@Juliane Ja, ein bisschen Erfahrung bringe ich mit. Ich war 13 Jahre selbststรคndig, davon acht mit einem kleinen Hotel-Restaurant (5 Zimmer).
Aktuell stehen selbstgebackene Plรคtzchen in der Ferienwohnung. Und es gab auch schonmal Kรคsekuchen oder was warmes am Montag, wenn alle Ruhetag haben. Das mache ich ganz nach Zeit, Lust und Laune.
Hi
I am a superhost in Ealing Common, London. I am having problems getting contents and building insurance on my property which is a Victorian large house converted to 3 flats, 2 of which I own, one I live in and the other I have been using for airbnb for about 4 years. The third flat is owned by my neighbor.
Our current insurers have added 50% to the premium. Does anybody know of any insurance companies that offer this insurance?
On another thread I saw suggested JL Morris and Home Protect which I have yet to contact. Any others please?
Regards
Phil.

hi, thank you for letting mebe part of your great comunity,,i'm alberto born and raised in D.R. just a few months as a host, but thankfully doing good so far, according to our clients, love playing baseball, the beach and getting to know new people, our little condo is in BAVARO PUNTA CANA, and it's a great choice to anyone on a budget and looking to spend more than a few days here.

Hi @Alberto2201 ! Welcome to the Community Center and thank you for sharing such a lovely introduction note!! I noticed your listing photos and the beach nearby looks absolutely stunning.
Do you offer any beach amenities to your guests?
HI BHUMIKA, thank you so much for your kind words,the beaches are 10 to 20 minutes from here (by car), WE DO HAVE a giant 3 in 1 pool, a couple meters away from the property, but usually since it's a rather small apt., we don't offer aditional services, since we live really far way rom PUNTA CANA (SANTO DOMINIGO), but also guest tend to visit several beaches in one day (we have more than a dozen) and they offer a thousand things to tourist over there, but any advice from your part or the other fellow host, it's very welcomed.
Hello! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. My wife and I are retired from the military and chose Hawaii as our current home. Unfortunately AirBnB is not legal in our area of the island. We have hosted a full home in Florida when we were stationed there and are looking forward to listing again when I relocate for work after the New Year. We both love to travel and my wife has lived in Belgium and Germany. We both speak 'ein bischen' Deutsch and a I'm interested in learning more Spanish, French and German.
Hi @Randy706 , Welcome to the Community Center!
It is so great to read about you! If I may ask, which is the new destination that you would be relocating to?
Keep us posted with your amazing travel stories and your progress of setting up your listing~
