[Bhumika]

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

Hi. My name is Kenneth Rodrigues but most of my friends call me Ken. Am from Mumbai. I think it almost 8 years since I’ve been hosting. My home is quite close to the airports, has easy access to the arterial highways. I live alone and host guests in, obviously, the guest room😁. I love to go biking (motorcycle), social dancing (jive, salsa etc), watch movie AND eat. So I know some of the best places to enjoy food and night life in Mumbai, without tearing a hole in your pocket. If you ever come to Mumbai… mi casa, sou casa.

Hi,

I am Simon from Scotland. I started hosting in May 2024. Much is going well.

I had poor experience of support on a technical matter (map legends) at the outset but I manged to get it solved. 

Now I want to understand how technical escalation is managed. There is a clear bug in the way airbnb is passing dates to Google Calendar using iCal. I see others have posted. 

How do we get attention to this soluble issue?

Hello! I'm in the gold country of California, USA and have spent the majority of my life traveling the world, sometimes staying at Airbnbs.  I'm new to hosting and in the thick of learning any scenario that can come my way but overall have had a really positive experience.  When I have free time I'm either hiking or checking out the latest museum exhibits and enjoying good food.
