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

Hi I'm Jamie.  I'm a Case Manager who works w/ addicts in Billings, Mt.  I'm passionate about helping people.  I'm a single mom of a little boy. And my teenage daughter just left her master bedroom behind, so might as well make use!  We love adventures, swimming, events, etc. & always keep busy!  So far Air b&b has been a great experience!

Hi @Eva3713 👋

Congratulations and a huge welcome to the Community Center! It's great to have you here with us. 

How have you found hosting solo for years? What's brought you to Airbnb for this summer? 😊

[Mellany0]

I just listed a new property.

I am located down a wildlife corridor in the Bulkley Nechako area of British Columbia.

I live in a small village located by  the largest freshwater lake in BC.

I would like help on deleting my previous rural property as I do not live there anymore.

How do I do that 

Thank you

Mellany

[Paula]

Hello @Mellany0, that's an excellent question! 💡

To get more visibility and advice from our experienced Hosts, I recommend starting a 👉 new conversation here asking how to delete a listing.

I look forward to reading your future threads!

Hello, I am Angela nickname Angelica, 

I have a location in the historical Stone Mountain Ga. I have listed my home in 22 first but I am attempting to be more attentive to the business aspect of it. I had an emergency situation that through me into the trenches of this world in the beginning and now I desire to do my best.  Open to any advice and guidance. 

[Paula]

Hello @Angela-M-1, welcome to the Airbnb Community Center 🤗

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.

Thanks @Paula , for the welcome.  I am really searching for the best balance with paying cleaning fees and guest? I took on Homeaglow and that is a hit and miss. I spend currently all that I make. So now I'm adjusting my rates. Because the internet and sources says that's what should happen next. 

[Sonia1891]

Hello, 

My name is Sonia and I am from New York. I moved to the Netherlands two years ago and I started Airbnb in Den Haag in January 2024. I've been helping families relocate during long stays and hosting short stays. I wanted to join the Airbnb community to gain knowledge on how to improve my listing and gain tips from any other hosts nearby.

Kind regards,

Sonia 

[Paula]
