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 Everyone! I truly would enjoy meeting the other hosts that are in my area. We too are super hosts! We have now been open 1 1/2 years. We have Whispering Pines on the Kootenai.. We furnish hand soap, soap for the shower along with shampoo. I also have a small basket that I place on the counter in the bathroom with razors for men or woman, shave cream, make up wipe of cloths, tooth brushes, tooth paste, hand lotion, floss, hand sanitizer. in the kitchen we leave a small basket of snacks, peanuts, almonds, cashews, popcorn, granola bars and instant oatmeal. Since we live on the river we share our Paddle Boards and Kayaks with them. We can even take them and drop them off and pick them up at a designated time. We have much wildlife living on the River. We truly know how blessed we are.

@Wael53 I see that you are now a Host and joined Airbnb community. Joining the Airbnb community as a host offers a unique opportunity to share your space with travelers from around the world while earning extra income. The Airbnb community is built on the idea of belonging anywhere. You may also consider the following to get more bookings or occupancies. 

-Use high-quality photos and write detailed descriptions highlighting what makes your space unique and comfortable. Be clear about what guests can expect. Research prices of similar listings in your area to set competitive rates.

-Provide a clean, well-maintained space. Small touches like a welcome note, local tips, or complimentary snacks can make a big difference in guest satisfaction.

-Be responsive to inquiries and communication from guests. Clear and prompt communication before and during their stay is key to a positive experience.

-Guests often choose Airbnb for a more authentic experience. Provide recommendations for local attractions, restaurants, and hidden gems.

-Encourage guests to leave reviews and take their feedback seriously to improve your listing and hosting style. Hope this helps!

Hello!

I’m excited to be here!  I currently manage 2 homes in central IL and cohost 3 properties in the Destin, FL area.   I’ve been hosting since 2012 and truly have found my passion.  There’s never a day that this feels like work but rather the opportunity to service guests thru communication, hospitality, and just spoiling them with kindness.  I’m excited to be here and continue to grow and learn even more about hosting.  Thank you for welcoming me!
