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 friends, I'm Jordan in Seattle, USA, but grew up in Maine and have lived in India, Canada, Taiwan, and been a guest in many homes around the world.  My AirBNB is an apartment downstairs which used to be my acupuncture studio - so it has lots of good vibes. It's an honor and privilege to host travelers from far flung places. As hosts, our contributions to world peace are every bit as important as government diplomats. My first guests just left and were very pleased, which makes me happy. Thanks for the invitation to the community.

Hi All,

I have a beautiful old schoolhouse in the northwest corner of CT that i have been restoring more many years. I hope to put a book together one day... I rent this on airbnb so that i can share this wonderful space and also help fund the continual maintenance. 

I have a company called House of Tonic and I converted my garage into a lab to develop unique small batch cosmetics using local products from our bees, the garden and surrounding areas. At House of Tonic we create, craft and curate products and experiences that inspire reconnection to nature. 

The Schoolhouse is a sanctuary that uses House of Tonic products for their guests. We curate a wonderful seasonal welcome pack and allow our guests to enjoy the space we created for reconnection and rejuvenation.

I hope to be able to represent this message well through the airbnb listing and would love any feedback this community can provide.

Thank you so much. Catherine
