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 @Blenda2, welcome to our community 😊

I love Colorado! I had the opportunity to live in Boulder and I absolutely enjoyed the sunny days. Plus, the mountains are incredible for hiking or biking.

Hi Bhumika and all other community managers,

It's a pleasure to join this diverse community. We are Aadi and Alishka from Boho Trip 🌻 in Goa, India.

Our vacation rentals capture the essence of Goa's "susegad" lifestyle i.e. laid-back, relaxed and content way of life in Konkani, our local language. We are looking forward to providing a unique space for guests to unwind and immerse themselves in the beauty of this coastal paradise.

We are excited to connect, share experiences, and learn from the this vibrant global community.

Cheers!

[Paula]

Hello I'm Brandon but I go by Ziggy. I am in Tampa, FL. I have a Siberian husky pup. I'm a cyber security enthusiast and love to play board games. I rent out 2 bedrooms in my home and then now started doing Airbnb with the 4th room. I currently live in my house but I'll be moving to Los Angeles in September!

[Paula]

Hello @Brandon942, thank you so much for sharing your presentation with us,

In our community, there's a fantastic board titled 👉Ask About Your Listing, where both new and experienced Hosts come together to share tips on enhancing their listings through 👉Critique My Listing threads. Would you be interested in joining this initiative?

All the best,

My name is Jenny, i was born in Dominican republic 🇩🇴 and raised in Bronx, NY USA. I’m a School Guidance Counselor, own a MedSpa for 9 years now and an Airbnb for 4 years. However, after Covid, this recession and Banning Short Term Rentals in NY, I found myself struggling financially. I love shopping, self care like getting a massage, getting a facial, yoga, dancing, reading beauty articles, walking the malls, spending time with my family and friends, sun tanning, doing girly things.

I'm Paul Sagnia from The Gambia a new member to the platform and community. I have just made a new listing and I need to amend the price but I do not see any options to amend price.

[Rebecca]

Hi there @Marie9610,

Great question and one you could ask in the Support with your bookings section 

where our knowledgable Hosts will be able to help. 😍

It's great to have you here,

Rebecca 

[Rishta2]

Hi, I am a newbie host, a bit confuse but excited as well.  Please advise how to attract Clients😇😊

[Rebecca]

Hey @Rishta2,

It's super exciting to have you here and I'm sure you'll find lots of support from other Hosts in the Community Center which should help calm those nerves! 😊

Some good places to start when asking for support would be:

✨ Ask about your listing - You can ask other Hosts to critique your listing, you could be pleasantly surprised at what other people see!

✨ Advice on your space - This is great for general questions about your space specifically, for example, the amenities that you have at the property to what types of sheets that you use.

Let me know how you get on!
