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, I'm a new host here in Barbados but my listings are not new ,as I've taken over the apartments that my parents used to list when they were here . They've been hosting our two apartments for many years !

Happy to connect with the Air BnB community !

Have you always lived there? 😊 

[Shannon1023]

I have been here over 30 years. My husband and I live on his parents original house built in 1960. We really love being here and enjoy the view.

[Benjamin1412]

Hello Everyone,  I am new here. My name is Chinwe; I am originally from Nigeria, but I currently live in Cardiff, Wales. I just started hosting in August of this year, and it's been a journey of continuous learning and adjustments. My passion for travelling on a budget and enjoying luxurious accommodations led me to host. I look forward to connecting with like-minded hosts.

[Sophia]

Hello @Benjamin1412, how are you finding settling in Cardiff? I also enjoy travelling, staying at an Airbnb opposed to hotel provides a much richer experience. Each Airbnb home has so much character and is unique in its own way 💛. 

 

If you have any questions, feel free to start a conversation here.I’m sure fellow hosts have plenty of advice to share 😊
