[Bhumika]

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 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 🇳🇱 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! 🙌 

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

Hello! I am Amanda, owner and host of Rose City Hideaway in Portland, OR. Located in North Portland, the Overlook neighborhood, we have a special corner of the city that is home to all of the entertainment spaces, and a foodie’s paradise! All within walking distance of the AirBnB! We share the property with our primary home, and the backyard outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and 12 person swim spa. We have both a relaxing or vibrant space to host for our guests getaways. We enjoy helping tailor our guests stay, with wine waiting for them to celebrate their adventures, or self guided tours for their personal interests. We hope to grow and build our business this year, after a successful 1 year on the Airbnb app!

Hi, I'm Molly, a Superhost in Portland, OR! I Airbnb when I travel or stay at a friend's. I'm hoping to learn how I can also Airbnb just a room in my house to increase my income.
