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

Hello! I'm Cristina, and I'm thrilled to be part of the Airbnb community.

Based in the vibrant city of London, I have a passion for exploring new cultures and connecting with people from all walks of life.

By profession, I work in the financial industry and enjoy what I do.

When I'm not working, you'll find me enjoying the local cuisine, attending theatre productions, or simply relaxing with a good book in one of London’s charming cafes. I believe that every place holds a story and every visit enriches our lives, and I look forward to making your acquaintance and sharing experiences! Thanks!!

Hello All, my name is Dianna and I am from Nashville, TN. I started hosting in April 2024 and I am just wanting to learn as much as possible so that I can continue to build and grow. So far, I enjoy welcoming people to my city and just want to provide good service and accommodations to those who want to travel here. I look forward to learning as many tips as possible and networking with those available.

Hi everyone from everywhere!

I’m Alina Nastasiya, and I live and rent out part of my apartment in Copenhagen, Denmark. I’m quite new to this whole airbnb world, but I figured, why not try it out? I’ve already accommodated two separate couples just this month, and I’ve been super lucky with my guests and also have had wonderful feedback 🙂

[Loni56]

Olá Aline seja bem vinda ! Muito ouvir sua experiência como novato no airbnb🫶🙏🏻

[Paula]
