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

London is an amazing city with all the different historical locations and restaurants I had a great time there as well! 
Morocco is my favorite so far. It’s been a few years but I’d like to travel into Spain to appreciate the architecture. 

[Bhumika]

That sounds great @Amad328 ! Looking forward to continue hearing your travel and Hosting adventures. Keep in touch🌻!

[Bob1466]

Hello….Im Bob from Ontario, Canada.

I own a rental condo in Lake Buena Vista, Florida… approx 1 mile from Disney World.

i have been granted Super Host status for the past 2 years. My condo is in a very competitive market area. In fact, there are numerous Air bnb Hosts that are on the same property.

i look forward to learning and communicating with fellow hosts.

[Sophia]

Hey @Bob1466, silly question but have you been to Disneyland? 😍 I bet you're very busy, your calendar must be packed out with bookings since you're at a prime location!  

[Bob1466]

Hello @Sophia …. I’ve been to Disney World when I first bought my place 12 years ago. The area my condo is located is saturated with all kinds of places to visit…Universal, Lego Land, Sea World etc. 

With being only a mile from Disney, my condo is a great alternative to booking an expensive hotel room on the Disney Property.

I’ve had a pretty good year for rentals and also spent a few months there .

[Ronan113]

I am Ronan,  from France , installed now next by Paris , originating from western France Britany  where I started enjoying strong sensations sports like windsurf or kitesurf, now more on to snowboard. I've worked in aviation, travelled all over the world  and developed a passion for latin culture (Colombia, Spain, Caraibs...) I guess for its musicality, dancing rythm and form of high sensitivity. I have completly re-designed my large flat in Vincennes initially for my 3 loved sensitive joyfull children . As my growups are now progressively autonomous and living the nest with their beautiful wings, it becomes a hotspot for families wanting to dicover Paris secrets, Vincennes zoo, castle...  and enjoy also nextby (30min) Eurodisney ...

 I'm looking forward to an exciting experience as a host and member of this community.

[Paula]

Hello @Ronan113, thank you for sharing this enjoyable presentation! 😊 It's wonderful to know that you have a passion for Latin culture. I must admit, Colombia is an incredible country, brimming with amazing people, beautiful landscapes, and a joyful atmosphere.

Which cities in Colombia have you visited? Do you have any favourites?

Thank you again for sharing this in our community
