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 @Rebecca  and @Elisa  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 I am Joseph from the sunny Island of Malta. My apartment is in Gozo a sister island to the Island of Malta. This is a new ultra modern apartment built 2 years ago, it is fully furnished with 2 bed rooms and a bathroom and ensiute to the main bed room. I have been a member with Airbnb for these last 2 months but till now I got no booking from Airbnb. I am also using booking.com platform as well with whom I got some bookings and doing well.

I do not know what is the problem with Airbnb recently I have seen many complains about the shortage of bookings with Airbnb.

Hoping that things change for the better.

Regards

Joseph

Hello @Joseph2419, welcome to our Community Center.

I like Malta and Gozo! I had the opportunity to live in Malta and I absolutely enjoyed the sunny days. ☀️

A great suggestion for new Hosts is to initiate a 👉critique my listing' thread, where our seasoned Hosts can provide insights on improvements to enhance your chances of receiving more bookings.

I hope this is helpful.

Hi Everyone,

I am Ankhi from Kolkata, India. Kolkata is a city of joy and a land of literature and culture. This city has been blessed with nobel laureate like Rabindranath Tagore and Amartya Sen. This city was also the British capital of India. So I felt my abode can help some to experience my city and I want to thrive to make their experience memorable. 

I am an artist and a proud mom of 2 lovely daughters. 

It is nice to meet everyone here.

Hello everyone! 😊

I'm thrilled to join this vibrant community! I'm from Kissimmee, Florida, USA, nestled right near the gates of the world-famous Disney parks. 🌴🏰 Being an Airbnb host here allows me to meet people from all over the globe, providing them a cozy gateway to magical adventures.

Apart from hosting, I'm passionate about technology and entrepreneurship, always eager to connect with fellow tech enthusiasts and business minds. When I'm not busy with guests or geeking out over the latest tech trends, I enjoy capturing the beauty of Florida's landscapes and exploring its rich cultural offerings.

Excited to learn from all of you and to share experiences!

Warm regards,

Renato

Hi - I'm Fred from Tanzania (living in Dar es Salaam, but hosting in Moshi)

Moshi hosts the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world ... the famous Mount Kilimanjaro.  I love travel, but my passion is to use this platform to promote the mountain and the history of the town of Moshi.

[Rebecca]

Hi @BlueCactus0 👋

Moshi sounds so fantastic and a great place for people to come and stay who are looking to climb the mountains! 🏔 

I'm intrigued to hear more about the history of Moshi; perhaps you could share a post here with some photos and some more about the history!
