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

I'm Barney, a professional commercial photographer (mainly fashion, products, dance and sport) venturing into AirBNB hosting for the first time ... at 73.  In my spare time I do translation work (from French and Latin into English), transcription work between UK and US English (both ways), and I am a writer (in both English variants).

I'm British, living in central France (Haute-Vienne) and I'm fluently bilingual English / French.  I also speak the essential basics of German and Italian.

My AirBNB property is a bijou apartment in the eastern Pyrenees.

Looking forward to learning and helping others,

[Rebecca]

Me gusta mucho hacer esto y estare dedicada a hacerlo a tiempo completo lo.mejor que pueda. Me encanta bailar salsa y no lo hago tan mal 🤒

[Paula]

Hola @Leticia458, bienvenida a nuestra comunidad y que gusto tenerte aquí 😊

Como lo mencionas, Monterrey es una ciudad encantadora, tuve que visitarla varias veces en los últimos años por temas laborales y de los lugares que más disfrute fue el parque fundidora, vi unos hermosos amaneceres desde allí.

Te invito a que continuemos nuestra conversación en la comunidad de habla hispana, donde tenemos una gran cantidad de increíbles anfitriones mexicanos: https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Centro-de-la-Comunidad-SP/ct-p/centro-de-la-comunidad
