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

Hi everyone! I look forward to connecting and learning from other hosts. 2023 was the year we discovered Airbnb as a business, and I'd like to carry on in this path and open up new listings over the coming years 🤞 I'm a Learning Experience Designer and consultant, together with my wife, Lia, we started Costa Bella House in April 2023. Lia is an Analyst for Epic's Willow app (EHR). We're thrilled to have completed what feels like our first year in this amazing platform.

My favourite boards are:
✨ 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.

Hello Friends,  I am Eileen, I am from Southern California USA. I have been with AIRBNB 3 months now.  I am a Christian pastor outside of AIRBNB.  I inherited my parents home.  I lost my mother from COVID in 2021.  I was raised in that home and wanted to keep it to retire in oneday so I decided AIRBNB might be a way I could hold onto it in a monetary sense until I retire.

I love ministry work.  What led me to this path was an organ transplant surgery in 2011 where God took me for awhile dealt with me and sent me back to earth with instructions to be a light in the darkness.  My life is truely a miracle in itself.  I also love to garden and care for my 2 homes in my spare time.  I have my only child in college right now and I am busy helping her.  I have  enjoyed getting to know the beautiful souls who dwell here from around the world.  Thank you for having me and helping me learn this exciting business..... Eileen
