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

[Sommer14]

Hi I'm Sommer and I have had our Airbnb for about 7 months now.  I have had a property manager thus far and am now trying my hand at property management.  Glad to join this group to learn as much as possible about hosting with Airbnb.

[Vivian1391]

Hei. Jeg er fra Norge, og har leid ut vår leilighet et par sommersesonger nå. 
Jeg jobber som lærer på videregående skole, og liker å reise, sove ute i telt eller hengekøye minst en gang i måneden året rundt. I tillegg er jeg vinterbader (bader i sjøen året rundt, hver uke) og liker å lese spennende bøker. På fritiden drar vi på hytta vår på fjellet eller ved sjøen. Vi er superheldige som har disse mulighetene! Jeg gleder meg til å leie ut til nye, hyggelige og spennende gjester nå i sommer.

Thank you Bhumika, Nick and I (Elaine) are from Australia.  We love to get away in our caravan, one of our treats when not in the van is to find old country pubs and have a meal chat to the locals and stay for a night.

[동수2]

Hello everyone.

I'm from Korea. My accommodation is very close to Seoul. It is a 15-minute walk away from Hanriver.

Most of all, I am proud of host. Haha.. I like to travel a lot, and I am a social person. I can give my guests a memorable experience as a guide license holder.

[Paula]

Hello @동수2, welcome to our community.

What would be the best time of year to visit Seoul? Do you have any recommendations?

[Teresa2183]

Hello Bhumika ! I  am born and raised in British Columbia 🇨🇦. When I am not working as a House of Commons employee or City Councillor,  I prefer to be outside doing any number of activities. 
My husband and I travel in the province primarily but love to get away within Canada 🇨🇦 or once in a while somewhere warm in our cold BC winters. 

[Paula]

Hello @Teresa2183, we are thrilled to have you here, thanks for joining our community.

I moved to Port Moody, BC, two years ago and have been greatly enjoying the landscapes and nature here. There are many forests, lakes, and mountains nearby for hiking or mountain biking. I have also enjoyed the winter, as it is not as cold as I expected 😅❄️

[John7837]

Hello -  I live in central NJ and I am starting my first mid term rental in Runnemede NJ.  I think it's a great location for travelling nurses and other professionals.  It's surrounded by hospitals and it's 15 minutes from Center City Philadelphia.

[Paula]

Wishing you the best of luck with your mid-term rental in Runnemede.
