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

Hola, soy Víctor, sor de Monterrey, México, llevo un casi 3 años en la plataforma, tengo dos pequeños departamentos, situados en el segundo piso de una casa antigua, en el centro de la ciudad, el principal atractivo de mi espacio es la ubicación, ya que se encuentra cerca de centros comerciales, de espectáculos y de hospitales, otra ventaja es que esta a 700 metros del consulado americano, así que recibo mucha gente que viene a tramites.

Es un gusto unirme al grupo

[Paula]

Hola @Victor3886, es un gusto tenerte en nuestra comunidad. ¡Bienvenido! 😊

Monterrey es una ciudad fascinante, el parque fundidora es de mis lugares favoritos allí. ¿Cuáles son las principales atracciones que disfrutan tus huéspedes?

Te comparto acá el 👉 link de nuestro Centro de la Comunidad  de habla hispana para que sigamos la conversación allí. Nuestra comunidad de anfitriones mexicanos sigue creciendo 🇲🇽❣️

[Victor3886]

Gracias, en la ciudad hay mucho que hacer, nunca falta un buen espectáculo, o ir a parajes montañosos, hacer rapel o senderismo

[Andrea7342]

Hello! My name is Andrea. I am from Southern California, USA. I have moved to beautiful Northern Michigan, USA. This area has all of the seasons and all kinds of weather! Tons of outdoor activities: lakes, beaches, mountains, woods; internet and cell service is a bit wonky, but if you want to disconnect from the fast paced life and experience small town America, this is the best place to experience that, in my opinion :). 

I love traveling - seeing the sites, meeting the people, experiencing the cultures. I am working on being an empty nester, but the kids keep coming back!

My town is a tourism mecca and many of the homes in my neighborhood are doing double duty as Short Term Rentals. I don't see a community forum for anywhere in the state of Michigan...

I have been renting out part of my property for a couple of years now and would like to expand on my bookings to full-time. Looking forward to all of the suggestions by so many worldly people! Cheers!

[Paula]

Hello @Andrea7342, welcome to our Community, and thank you for sharing your presentation with us.

To gain more visibility in our community and gather excellent advice from our members, I suggest starting a new conversation here.

I am also sharing a link where you can find information about how to become a community leader, especially if there is not a Local Host Club in your area.

I hope this helps.

Hi @Abdulla209 , Welcome to the Community~🌻!

How are you?

[Ratan22]

Hey mates,

Kia ora from Auckland, New Zealand! I'm Ratan , diving into hosting on Airbnb for the first time, and I'm pretty excited about it. As a newbie host, I'm here to soak up all the wisdom from you legends.

My spot's in Epsom, right smack in the middle of all the good stuff. We've got a gym nearby for those keen on a workout, Cornwall Park to chill out, a supermarket just around the corner, and a bus stop right outside for easy peasy commuting. Need a clinic? We've got that too.

And the best part? We're just a 10-minute drive to Newmarket's Westfield Mall, where you can catch a movie and do some serious retail therapy.

Keen to share the Kiwi vibes and hospitality with everyone!

Cheers,
Ratan Peru

Greetings! I was born and raised in Colorado.  I'm an outdoors person who loves travel, hiking,  photography, and reading.  I'm new to this community and am looking forward to engaging in conversation with community members about being a great host.

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 @Vipin19, welcome to our community.
