Hello everyone! ๐
Welcome to the Community Center! ๐ 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 ๐ณ๐ฑ I have been on the Community Center for 6+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling๐ฒ, playing footballโฝ, and travelling๐ . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe.
@Bhumika : ๐ I was born in Gujarat, India ๐ฎ๐ณ , and shifted to Toronto, Canada ๐จ๐ฆ last year! ๐ท I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. ๐ When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.
@Paula : I am from Colombia ๐จ๐ด and currently living in British Columbia, Canada ๐จ๐ฆ. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance ๐) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries ๐ and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking ๐ฒ and hiking ๐.
@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 ๐ฟ and like to minimise my impact on the planet ๐ as well as volunteering in my local community. I love sea swimming ๐ yoga on the beach ๐งโ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! ๐
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,

Hello there everyone. My name is Nikki, I've been hosting my 2 br, 2 ba in West Sacramento, CA for about 8 months. Looking forward to scrolling the topics and learning what I can.
Hello @Nikki584, thank you so much for sharing your introduction, and congratulations on achieving Superhost status ๐ค
How has your experience been so far? How is this season shaping up for you? Is it a vibrant or calm hosting period?
Keep us posted ๐
Hi @Paula and thank you, especially for that link.
So far, hosting has been great. My first few months were focused on learning and ensuring I have things in place to provide a consistent and welcoming experience for my guests. Now I'm making a shift towards growth and booking consistency.
I'm coming out of a vibrant period and instantly found myself in a calm. This is how it's been since I started. One month I will be booked solid and then things go silent and I'll go several weeks without even getting an inquiry. I'm not sure if it's my location or something else. I'm reading though the comments on the link you provided but I'd like to ask the question here "what are some tricks to keeping your place booked up consistently? "
Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. It is a pleasure to join this community and looking forward to connecting with you all. Feel free to yell out if any one else is in Melbourne and would like to catch up somewhere.
I am from Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA. Host many listings as my main profession. Love to travel.
Hello @Jamie1279, thank you for sharing this. What is your favorite travel destination?
In case you find it useful, in our community, there's a fantastic board titled ๐Ask About Your Listing, where both new and experienced Hosts come together to share tips on enhancing their listings through ๐Critique My Listing threads.
I hope this helps.

hi Bhumika and community center team.
I am Cinzia, I was born in Ravenna- Italy and married young to DAJ Meyer who grew up in Cape Town- South Africa; we are currently based in Koblenz, Switzerland.
Together we've raised 3 girls and owned property in 2 continents in the last 30 years.
At the moment we are listing two stays on Airbnb: one apartment in the centre of Cape Town and one town house in Montouliers, France.
As I love to grow with plants, cultivate better soil and retain water, I am looking for like-minded people hosting experiences or offering stays with sustainable aspects to learn and exchange.
Hi @Cinzia395
It's great to hear about your hosting experience in Cape Town and Montouliers. I see that you're interested in connecting with like-minded hosts who have sustainable aspects in their stays. Have you come across any hosts or experiences that align with your interests so far?
Back in April we had our 3rd Festival of Sustainability where some of our Hosts such as @Patricia2526, @Kitty-and-Creek0 and @Rose422 shared some really lovely topics and stories which might interest you to get involved in.
We can't wait to see you around and sharing your sustainability stories too! ๐
