Hello everyone! ๐
Welcome to the Community Center! ๐ 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:

@Bhumika : ๐ I was born in Gujarat, India ๐ฎ๐ณ , and shifted to Toronto, Canada ๐จ๐ฆ last year! ๐ท I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. ๐ When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.
@Paula : I am from Colombia ๐จ๐ด and currently living in British Columbia, Canada ๐จ๐ฆ. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance ๐) .

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
Thank you @Sri311 for the amazing tips and sharing more about how you manage best of both worlds! It is really inspiring and we hope to learn more from you here in the Community Center!
Hello Refeekh! Welcome to the community. It's great to hear about your background and interests. Hosting in Trivandrum sounds like an exciting venture! If you ever need any tips or recommendations for hosting or exploring the area, feel free to ask. Enjoy your time in Kerala and California,
Regards,
Hi Refeek is it possible to host in Kerala?
My name is Lee. My wife and I live in Fredericksburg, VA, USA, where we host our guest house next door. I love doing outdoor work on the land and on the farm. We look forward to having our first grandchild soon!
Hi all. I am Adnan, born in the former country of Yugoslavia and moved to America. I enjoy traveling and studying other cultures. Its always a pleasure to meet people from all parts of the world and learn new and old things. I have been an Airbnb supporter and host for over 6+ years now and canโt wait to see what the next 6yrs will bring
Love the enthusiasm I could read in your comment @Adnan111 !! I hope the upcoming years are as fulfilling and enriching for you, allowing you to continue exploring and appreciating different cultures through hosting.๐
Is there any specific guest experience, where you felt really glad to have started Hosting?
(Meeting people from different cultures adds so much value and perspectives in one's life!!)
Hi:) I'm Gwendolyn:) My husband and I own property in a remote secluded area in the Osceola National Forest, Florida in the United States. We have been hosting in that remote area since May 2022. We just recently listed another property a couple of weeks ago in Palm Coast, Florida, (USA) which is close to the beach (Atlantic Ocean). We have reached superhost status! Enjoying this new adventure in our life.
We recently listed a house on airbnb that we have had on the market to sell for the last few months. Since we haven't had any offers and it's just sitting there, we decided to list airbnb that home too! So, one property is focused on bringing in people who love the forest and riding. The new listing is only a few miles from the beach as well as close to a local ATV park. Both properties are located in different counties about an hour and a half from each other. Nothing too fancy on our end, we just market the properties with intentions that people love to get outdoors and explore. Airbnb has been an interesting shift for me. It wasn't something I intented to start out doing, it sort of just happened. The learning curve hasn't been too brutal. So far So good!
Hi Bhumika and everyone else! Wanted to introduce myself. I'm Noah from NYC! I'm a host here in Brooklyn, and I'm also a tour guide! I'd like apply to have my tours on Airbnb Experiences, but it's been paused for a while now with ETA on when it'll open again. Does anyone know why it was paused exactly and when they plan on opening up for hosts to publish tours? Thanks!

Hello, my name is Jim Clark. My wife and I host our family cabin in the lovely town of Twain Harte, which is in the Sierra Mountains of California.
Welcome @James3777 !! How are you? I was looking at your lovely cabin and noticed how spacious and amazing it is. I am sure many of your guests would be appreciative of your listing.
