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 @Kerstin305 ! I am so delighted to welcome you to our amazing community!

It must be a big task to manage these many listings by yourself! Do you take help from Co-Hosts or use any API softwares to manage your listings?

Hope you have a great time here connecting with other Hosts😍.

We are also celebrating our week of celebration, in case you wanted to read how other Hosts build connections with guests : Click here to read the articles!

[April-Zaireen0]

Hello, I am April. I'm a Filipina expat currently living in the UAE. I am just new into hosting having 2 months of experience as of now, but I have known Airbnb and have been using

it myself since more than 5yrs ago. Being a guest myself who has transitioned to being the host now - I am able to apply the same learnings based from my first hand experiences from my past travels and continue to evolve and develop my current practices with a vision of maintaining the  Superhost category badge, by fostering exemplary hospitality traits and quality services which would make me and my listing (and future listings) be each guest's preferred Airbnb experience in the metro✨  

I love traveling, and always into authentic foods.

I am excited and full of positivity that this community shall be adding value to the host that I am right now.

Nice to be in here, folks 🙂
