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 Elisa

I usually tell where the nearest supermarket is 😅 But Actually I never got around to making a written guide for the neighbourhood. But it is my aspiration over winter. There is so much to  dishover 🤩Restaurants, bars, parcs, museums.

Hello BnB fam,

I am new to being a host, have been hosting as a couch surfer for a bit, and have hosted over 100 folks from all over the world. 

I am excited about this journey of being a BnB host and would appreciate any guidance and lessons learned.

Happy Tuesday!!!

Hola Que Tal? I am Juanita aka English speaking jeanette. I have a knack for my first grade Spanish taught language exclamations from my childhood growing up in California. I live a fashioable New York dress style living there as a teen with an rodeo Ohio buckeye treat to share. I enjoy traveling and learning new demographics, foods, wines as personally a grape grower, trails, parks, museums, art, science centers and people who take time to show hospitality to others. I review floridian resorts, beaches, sunsets and always looking to see how charity can make this world a better not bitter place to live in while remembering to keep the sabbath day holy, family in close range and a smile 😀 on my face.
