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

Hello @Paul10664, welcome to the Airbnb Community Center 😊

I see that you are a Superhost, congratulations 👏👏. How long have you held this badge? How has your experience with Airbnb been so far?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

My Name is Chris. I just posted my first rental ever on Airbnb and will probably use this space to ask any questions since everyone is most likely way more experienced than me at this 😅

[Jennifer4443]

Good Evening!  My name is Jennifer and my husband’s name is Nestor. We live in Houston and have a home in East Downtown Houston! We host more long term stays (3 month minimum) and gear more towards professionals vs people vacationing. I was a travel nurse myself and learned a lot from living in another state what makes a place super comfy! We love to travel ourselves. I hope to learn a lot from this community to be successful in this field.

Hi there @Bhumika,  @Quincy  @Paula @@Sophia  & @Rebecca!

My name is Ben & i am a Londoner.

I was born in the East end with an English & Irish heritage & i now live in South London, where at least 5 generations of my family have been.

My father was in the Royal Marines & was a parachute instructor & so we moved overseas & around the south of England a fair bit. I have always been an outdoors person.  This set me up for life & i have managed to see another 33 wonderful lands so far & hope to experience many many more. 

I settled back in London 9 years ago & started AirBnB 4 months ago.

[Rebecca]

Wow! You're super well travelled! 

How are you finding Hosting so far?

Hi Everyone,

It’s great to be here. I’m pleased to introduce myself as probably the latest host of the new year 2024.

It’s been a long journey, but I’m so happy to finally post my house in Accra Ghana. 
I’m an American citizen living in New York, with roots from Ghana. 
And I’m connected to places. Feel free to let me know, if you or anyone you know, is visiting, needs a tour guide, or pick up from the Airport. You know, any kind of stuff  like that.

I’m wishing you well and success, of the new year.

Happy 2024.

[Paula]

Hello @Maj-D0,  congratulations on beginning your Airbnb adventure! 😊

Have you already received your first guests? How was your experience?

Please keep us posted.

Hey Airbnb Community!

I hope this message finds you all in high spirits!   I'm Antonius, and I'm absolutely thrilled to be a part of this fantastic Airbnb community.

Currently calling Bali home, I'm diving headfirst into this community because, well, who wouldn't want to connect with a group of amazing individuals who share a passion for all things Airbnb, right? Whether you're a seasoned host, a frequent guest, or just as curious as I am, I'm eager to learn, share, and grow together.

By day, I'm Bali Properties Agent, but by night (and weekends! / also by day too hehehe), I'm the ultimate Superhost hosting guests in several Villa's at Bali. 

In my downtime, you'll catch me on my beach with some cold drink, and I'm always open to new suggestions and hidden gems in Bali.

As a newbie, I'm on the lookout for pro tips, must-visit spots, and any golden nuggets of wisdom you're willing to share. Got a favorite hosting story or a go-to breakfast spot nearby? Spill the beans—I'm all ears! 👂

Looking forward to building connections, swapping stories, and making this Airbnb journey even more extraordinary together.

Drop a comment, share your favorite emoji, or shoot me a direct message—let's make this introduction the start of something awesome!

Cheers to new beginnings and fantastic connections,

[Paula]
