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 and @Rebecca   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! 🙌 

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've been hosting on Airbnb since 2018, but did not know this community existed. I just happened to find it tonight, and excited to read about everyone's experiences. I currently have 3 beach properties in the panhandle of Florida USA. I live in the midwestern part of the country, but am a true beach girl at heart.  Looking forward to reading about all of you!

[Rebecca]

Hey there! Welcome to the Airbnb Community Center! 🎉 We're thrilled that you discovered this vibrant community of hosts and guests. It's a fantastic place to connect with fellow hosts, share experiences, and gain valuable insights.

Wow, three beach properties in the panhandle of Florida? That sounds absolutely amazing! How do you manage all 3? 

Feel free to dive ( 😉 ) into the discussions and stories shared by the community. There's so much to learn and discover from other hosts who have been on this incredible hosting journey. If you have any questions or if there's anything specific you'd like to know or discuss, don't hesitate to ask. We're here to support you and make your Airbnb hosting experience even better! 🏖️🌴🌊

Hi everyone, it's Le who was born in Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam. Though not as famous as some other tourist destinations in the country, has its own unique attractions that draw visitors. Some of the highlights include:

1. My Lai Massacre Memorial: This historical site commemorates the tragic event of the My Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War. The memorial and museum offer a somber but important look into this period of history.

2. Ly Son Island: Often referred to as the "Jeju Island of Vietnam," Ly Son is famous for its stunning landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and garlic farms. The island is a great spot for snorkeling, diving, and exploring its volcanic formations.

3. Sa Huynh Culture: The Sa Huynh archaeological site is significant for its ancient artifacts and remnants of the Sa Huynh culture, which dates back over 2,000 years. Visitors can learn about the early history and culture of the region.

4. Chau Sa Citadel: This ancient citadel, dating back to the Champa Kingdom, offers a glimpse into the region's historical significance and architectural style.

5. Ba To Guerrilla Zone: This area is known for its role during the Vietnam War, with several historical sites and monuments dedicated to the resistance fighters.

6. Thien An Mountain and Truong Luy Wall: Thien An Mountain offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, while the ancient Truong Luy Wall, also known as the "Great Wall of Vietnam," stretches across several provinces and is a remarkable feat of ancient engineering.

7. Beaches: Quang Ngai boasts several beautiful beaches, such as My Khe Beach, known for its white sand and clear waters, providing a peaceful retreat for visitors.

These attractions, combined with the province's rich history and natural beauty, make Quang Ngai an interesting destination for tourists looking to explore a less-traveled part of Vietnam.

As for my current accommodation, it's located at KrisVue Building, Binh Trung Dong Ward, District 2 (nowaday it's called Thu Duc City), Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - a non-tourist area. This place is perfect if you are not too fussed about being close the city center. One thing I love about it is convenient access to public transportation, a peaceful neighborhood, very close to local markets, convenience stores, bookshops, many coffeehouses and restaurants at very reasonable prices. I am living and working at a neighbor buildings so it is very convenient to take great care of my guest once needed. It could be wonderful if I have chance to host any of you here. Have a lovely day to everyone ❤️

You're very welcome! 

How exciting! Do you create video/adverts for your property and if so, where do you share them?

By the way, if you type "@" and then the username, this will tag the member that you're replying to. This ensures that they get a notification that you've replied to them specifically 🤗

We are in Maine, USA🇺🇸 right next to Acadia National Park. Bass Harbor is where the best lobster in the world is caught 😃 The outdoors and nature are what we are all about and we are on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island. We enjoy hiking and just being one with the outdoors, and here is a great place to do that!

[Rebecca]

Hi @Aaron1270 👋

Bass Harbor sounds amazing! Do you have a lot of guests that come to stay with similar interests?
