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 @Kansas0 , Welcome to the Community! 🌻 

With your professional background, you must be bringing in a lot of attention to details to create memorable guest stays. Do you have any tips to share with other Hosts? What inspired you to start co-hosting on Airbnb?

Hello! I live in the North Carolina mountains, USA, a slice of Appalachia and Cherokee native land. My husband and I run a school for outdoor professionals, so we've been hosting faculty and students for decades. Recently we thought we'd host our cabin/faculty house when we didn't have any courses running, since we are surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Tuskaseigee River (fly fishing, kayaking, tubing, rafting), Cherokee and casinos, Asheville and the Biltmore House, the Blue Ridge Parkway - something for everyone!

It has been a very fun side adventure, and we are loving our guests and continually fixing our cabin space to suit more people. I've been surprised how quickly our vacancies have filled!

Hello @Mairi45,

Wow, that was a fantastic idea! I'm so glad to hear it's been working well for you 😎

If you could offer one piece of advice to new Hosts for achieving success, what would it be?

I look forward to learning from your experience! 🌻

Best regards,
