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 Bhumika - Great to meet you and the rest of the community!

My name is Nicola,  just about to start on my Airbnb journey with a lovely cozy suite in my home in Guelph, Canada.

Hoping for some great connections with travelers and sharing a lot in common as I've done quite a bit of travel over the years in North America, Africa and Europe, and I don't think I'll ever be done - so much of the world to see!

Looking forward to learning and sharing and getting to know some fellow Airbnbers too 💜

Hello @Joanne907 and welcome to the Airbnb Community Center 😊

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,

Hi all, I’m Shade (pronounced “sha-day”). I live in Washington DC, but was born and bred in Nigeria. I love traveling and learning new cultures, part of the reason why I became a host to create the kind of sanctuary I would like to stay in when traveling. In my free time, I binge-watch TV shows and recently started a podcast with my spouse to talk about the zillion shows we’ve watched. I’m new on this platform and look forward to making meaningful connections. 

[Paula]

Hello @Shade21 , welcome to our community and thank you for sharing your presentation 😊

As a new Host, you might have some questions or comments, so please feel free to start a ⭐ New conversation here ⭐,  asking any questions you have. I am sure our lovely Hosts will be more than happy to share their opinions.

All the best,
