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 @Sophia 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 🏔.

@Sophia : Born and bred in the UK 🇬🇧 but my roots are Bangladeshi 🇧🇩. I love cats 🐱, enjoy eating crisps (also known as chips) and enjoy baking 🍪. I also love travelling ✈️  I have worked in Community ever since I graduated and to put it lightly, people are my passion! 💖

@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! 🙌 

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

how is hosting going for you so far? 😊

[Sherry538]

Good so far! I have great reviews from the guests who have stayed with us? I can’t find my property on a general Airbnb search…i am API integrated through owner rez.

thank you for asking!

[Tatiana963]

Hello my name is Tatiana Jones, I am new to Air BNbB hosting. I have 4 apartments listed in downton gastonia. I would like some insight on how to become a superhost and ways to give my guest an experience of a life time.

[Mike-And-Jane0]

@Tatiana963 A quick question if I may. What relevance is the reference to Miami? Will this not confuse/mislead your guests?

[Paula]

Hello @Tatiana963, welcome to our community,

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

All the best,

Hola mundo 👋 

My name is Ignacio, and was born in Jujuy Argentina, currently living in Buenos Aires 🧉🇦🇷

I am a Software Engineer and I live within my wife and our two children.

I lived in Italy 🇮🇹 for 6 years playing volleyball 🏐  and that triggered in me a passion for learning new cultures, meeting new people, learning new languages 🌎

+ a huge respect and curiosity for what is different.

Joining the community to become a better host a better guest

Cheers 🙌

[Sophia]

Greetings from the UK!  🇬🇧 @Nacho148 

I love your enthusiasm! How did you find living in Italy? I hope you share your experiences with the wider community 😊
