New to the Community Center? Introduce yourself here โ€Œ๐Ÿ‘‡

Hello everyone! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Welcome to the Community Center! ๐Ÿ‘‹  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 ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ I have been on the Community Center for 6+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling๐Ÿšฒ, playing footballโšฝ, and travelling๐ŸŒ . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe. 

@Bhumika ๐ŸŒ I was born in Gujarat, India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ , and shifted to Toronto, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ last year! ๐Ÿ“ท I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. ๐ŸŒ† When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.

@Paula : I am from Colombia ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด and currently living in British Columbia, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries ๐ŸŒŽ and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking ๐Ÿšฒ and hiking ๐Ÿ”.

@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 ๐ŸŒฟ and like to minimise my impact on the planet ๐ŸŒŽ as well as volunteering in my local community.  I love sea swimming ๐ŸŒŠ yoga on the beach ๐Ÿง˜โ€ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! ๐Ÿ™Œ 

@Elisa : I was born in Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น and as a lover of unique experiencesโ€”from exploring the streets of Rome๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น , Paris ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, and Toronto ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ to appreciating timeless art and cuisineโ€”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 @Carlita6 , a very warm welcome to the Community ๐ŸŒป 

 

It's really nice to read that you're interested in helping Hosts to have great reviews and amazing stays all year long. Do you have any tips and advice for new fellow Hosts, about how to attract guests and market their Airbnb listing? Your tips could be really beneficial to the new and experienced Hosts visiting our Community.

 

On a side note, If you would like to share more of your hosting experiences, we'd like to invite you to start a new conversation with fellow Hosts to share your amazing journey!

Hi everybody!

im Danielle from the Swiss Alps ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ in the mountain region of Valais-Switzerland. Brand new host but frequent traveler myself.

 

my apartment is ideal for hiking or biking or horse riding in summer

and so close to various ski resorts for fun winter sports: 10mn from Anzere, 25mn from Crans-Montana and an easy train ride to Zermatt or many other ski resorts.

 

several thermal baths are also nearby for relaxing after your trip.

 

if coming to Switzerland is your dream then Iโ€™d be happy to let you enjoy my apartment (4 pers. max, animals welcomed)

 

first question: do you know any French ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท speaking group based in Switzerland?

 

thanks in advance

have a great day

It sounds like you've got a wonderful place and full of exciting activities to do locally, and surrounded by nature ๐Ÿ˜ If you have any particular questions about hosting or your listing, feel free to start a conversation!  ๐Ÿ˜Š

 

There are Local Host Clubs so it might be worth popping there to see if there's a group near you.

Hello @Fritzly0, what an interesting journey! ๐Ÿ˜Š

 

What made you fall in love with Malaysia? Iโ€™ve heard many incredible things about the country, but I havenโ€™t had the opportunity to visit yet.

Hello @Paula !! 
i love traveling, I was toured SE Asia for 6 months. I went to Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines. The food in Malaysia is definitely one of the things that stole my heart, it is peaceful, I love how accessible good organic food is, fresh fruits, coconut water in every corner. I grew up in Haiti so I felt right at home . I felt very safe as well. 

Hello!  I'm Columbine (I always go by my nickname - I love gardening) and I live in Vergennes, Vermont!  I'm just getting started, but there are so many reasons to visit here, from the Addison County Fair to skiing to hiking, and my place is also convenient for traveling nurses working in Burlington, Middlebury, and Ticonderoga.  Mine is a simple place for a nonsmoker who is not allergic to cats (I have one) and is not traveling with a pet.  Hoping to make some new friends!
