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! 🙌 

@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 @Natasha728 , Welcome to the Community Center 😍 How are you? 

Your listings , especially the Duke Farm looks so adorable , surrounded by lush green hills 🏔 Do you offer a tour to the winery or share your traditional wines as a welcome gesture for guests? 

Do you have a particularly favorite corner or photo of your listing that you'd like to share with us on this topic? : 👉What is your favourite photo of your Airbnb? 👈

Hello everyone, I'm from Croatia, I've been renting on Airbnb for over 10 years. Now it is my only source of income, before I retire. My children are still studying, so it is also the only source of income for my entire family. Sincerely and with a lot of love, we devote ourselves to our relationship with each guest and try to ensure that our Villa by the sea offers everything that the Mediterranean can offer - and that is waking up to the sound of waves and seagulls and a beautiful sunset before evening. Soon it will be time for my travels (by car or Harley) and I hope that I will use Airbnb more as a guest.

[Rebecca]

Hello @Goran149 👋

It's wonderful to hear about your hosting journey in Croatia for over 10 years. It sounds like you have created a special experience for your guests with your Villa by the sea.

I'd love to hear more about your hosting experiences and any plans you have for using Airbnb as a guest.

Safe and exciting travels ahead! 🌊✨

[Zied16]

Hi Bhumika,

I'm Zied from Tunisia, but I currently live in Doha, Qatar.

I bought a brand-new 2-bedroom condo overlooking a pool in one of the most affluent sea and hotel resorts in South Hammamet. One of the bedrooms is actually a master bedroom. It's well-equipped.

The condo is within walking distance from one of the most beautiful golden sandy beaches. It's also very near a commercial street where you can enjoy local as well as international meals. You can also find kiosks, supermarkets and coffee shops. 

Two of the most famous nightclubs are also down the same street for those who like live music.

I'm new to airbnb and I had my first booking from 8-14 August. I have provided most of the amenities. I hope I'll have a very positive review that will encourage other guests to book.

Thanks Bhumika for getting in touch with me.

Kind regards,

Ziad

[Bhumika]

Hi @Zied16 , Your listing sounds like a fantastic place to stay 😍 Many congratulations on the first booking! Are you feeling excited for the first booking or are slightly nervous? 😉  How are you preparing for your first guests? 

Have you prepared a guidebook for your guests for them locate the nearby kiosks,supermarkets, restaurants and nightclubs?

[Derrick180]

My name is Derrick, and I'm a new host for Airbnb. I'm from the United States and grew up in the Southeast. I love travel, fitness, and all things business!! The space I currently have listed is centrally located in Uptown Charlotte N.C. It is steps away from city parks, bike trails, restaurants, art, and entertainment. This space offers a first-class experience to uptown!! Looking forward to sharing this space with the world. 

[Bhumika]

Hi @Derrick180 , Welcome to the Community Center! Your listing in Uptown Charlotte sounds amazing! Seems like there are a lot of places nearby for guests to enjoy - city parks and nature! 

Since you've just started hosting, do you have any questions that you'd like to ask other Hosts by starting a new conversation?

[Attila82]

Hi everyone, I'm Attila from Brasov Romania, it's a nice place here near to Draculas castle 🏰 I recommend to everyone to visit Transilvania 😊 

I joined Airb&b 1 month ago. 

Cheers 

[Paula]

Hello @Attila82, How cool, Transylvania! This place has been on my bucket list for years! The landscapes look incredible there 😍. What is the best time of the year to visit? Would you like to share a picture of this wonderful place?

Additionally, how has your hosting journey been in this first month? 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.

[Attila82]

Hi Paula , thx. for asking, I think September or December is the best time to visit Brașov.
My hosting goes good, it's booked till November 😊

I don't know what exactly to ask I think I will  figure it out how to do it better. 

 we have a Brasov sign just like in Hollywood 🤭
