[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 @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

I have a cottage on Catalina Island.  Is there a leader there?  I have unique problems to the area.  Catalina and specifically the city of Avalon is 26 miles from Long Beach, California and part of the LA County.  It can only be reached by boat or helicopter.

Hello everyone😊

I’m Allan, originally from Norway 🇳🇴 but currently based in New York City 🇺🇸. I work as a data scientist, diving into data to uncover insights and drive decisions. I'm fascinated by how data can tell stories and solve complex problems. When I'm not analyzing data, I enjoy exploring the vibrant city life and discovering new spots around NYC.

Hi everyone, my name is Július, and I come from a beautiful region called GEMER in Slovakia. Region is just now becoming popular becouse of all it's attractions, but still missing accommodations for tourists. I was running a pension in High Tatras for 12 years, and now I am starting to rent a chain of apartments. I have posted first one, and there will be another two soon added as well. Plus starting to build a wellness cottage which will be ready in June 2025. I love to travel, I like mountain cycling, hunting, fishing and enjoy staying in nature where there is absolutely no one.
