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

Hi @Warren246 ! Welcome to our lovely Community.

The location of your listing appears to be exotic and a perfect holiday destination! Do you manage your listing virtually from Australia, or you have any Co-host based in Thailand that helps you with managing your listing?

I am also inviting few of our kind Hosts from Australia if you were interested to connect with them and drop a hello! @Robin4 @Laurelle3 @Helen744 @Felicity11 @Geoffrey209 !!

Hope you have a great time here with fellow Hosts in our Community😍.

[Warren246]

Thankyou Bhumika for the lovely welcome. I manage it myself from Melbourne, I have a reliable cleaning contact who organises a cleaner when I tell her when I need it done, and same if I need maintenance done. I'm on the main booking sites, however just recently joined a channel manager so there are no double ups, and easier to change price all at once now. Cheers 

[Bhumika]

That is so amazing @Warren246 ! It is definitely reassuring when you have a reliable service contact to take care of the maintenance and cleaning. 

Keep in touch and keep sharing your amazing adventures as a Host with us😍🌻.
