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

Hello everyone - I am Andrey. My wife and I just listed our property, this is our first time! 

We are from Edmonds, WA but have property in Rontonda West, FL. The property sits on a canal that makes a great place to relax outside on patio. 

Thanks for the warm welcome!

hello everyone -  I’m from Atlanta, Georgia and happy to connect and meet you all. I am new to hosting. Our place is in Georgia along one of the great fishing lakes in the state. My husband and I enjoy traveling, hiking and seeing the National Parks. I work a hybrid schedule and my husband travels for work. Hoping to find a balance for all. Any ideas are welcomed. Would also like to connect with some hosts in our area since it’s a popular location. 

[Rebecca]

Hi @Lorrie63 👋

Congratulations and a huge welcome to the Community Center! It's great to have you here with us. As this is a global community, it might be hard to find a Host from a specific area - but we've got a wealth of knowledge and experience relating to all things Airbnb! There are Local Host Clubs though in case you'd like more local connections too.
