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

Hey @Buy-And-Rent-At-The-Beach0 - Cindy! 

A huge welcome to the Community Center! It's great to have you here with us. It's wonderful to hear about the rentals you have in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. It sounds like a paradise with great amenities and beautiful nature. 😍

We'd love to hear your thoughts and tips on hosting in such a beautiful area. 🤗

[Cathryn45]

Hi all!  My name is Cathryn and my partner and I started hosting about a month ago.  We wanted a part time vacation home near some hiking in Ohio and airbnb is helping us with that.  We have two dogs, and love staying active and trying new restaurants.  Looking forward to going on this adventure with everyone!

[Marites23]

Hello everyone! I am very new to this gig, and not sure what to expect and how this will go. I have friends and family who have been doing this for years, and they all have great things to say, so I figured I'd try since our property is just sitting empty. I work full-time as a software developer in Phoenix, AZ. I enjoy gardening, decorating, as well as refinishing furniture. I am looking forward to see how things will go with hosting!

[Rebecca]

Hi, my name is Emre, and I am an Airbnb host in Turkey. I have been a host on Airbnb since October 2023 and have been a Superhost for all the periods I have hosted. Yesterday, my account was suspended without any reason given, and this situation has affected me very badly. I am not getting any responses, and I thought maybe I could get some help here.

[Okhela0]

Hello all, I am Okhela - I am a new host since December 2023 and since been awarded super host status within 6 months of hosting! I am very proud. It's a lot of work at first but improves as time goes. Thanks for welcoming me into the community.
