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:
@Quincy : I'm from the Netherlands ๐ณ๐ฑ I have been on the Community Center for 6+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling๐ฒ, playing footballโฝ, and travelling๐ . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe.
@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) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries ๐ and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking ๐ฒ and hiking ๐.
@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 ๐ฟ and like to minimise my impact on the planet ๐ as well as volunteering in my local community. I love sea swimming ๐ yoga on the beach ๐งโ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! ๐
@Elisa : I was born in Italy ๐ฎ๐น and as a lover of unique experiencesโfrom exploring the streets of Rome๐ฎ๐น , Paris ๐ซ๐ท, and Toronto ๐จ๐ฆ to appreciating timeless art and cuisineโI'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

Hello, one and all. I'm SImon and have lived in the Shooters Hill part of London since 2007. I'm hoping to go on long-distance cycle rides around Europe and rent out my property while I'm away.
Can anyone recommend a suitable insurance policy?

Hello!
I am a host in Toronto. I seem to be stuck in a loop with AirBnb admin about resubmitting a license for government validation. The license is valid but it was declined due a spelling discrepancy. This is now fixed.
I do I get my listing up? AirBnb chat cannot help and have referred my (4 times) to a special committee --- no response.
Help!
welcome to the community. ๐ I am also from Toronto! ๐
I suggest you ask this in the "ask about your listing" section.
I am sure experienced Hosts will be able to help you.

Hello! I host numerous listings in homes that I have raised my son in beautiful Humboldt County California. Being a hostess has been challenging in the least. Two bad reviews out of hundreds and itโs so damaging to my score. Itโs shocking actually. I would much rather prefer 5 stars and then negative feedback on the private note public statements. Itโs too bad that more guests do not do it that way:(
Hi @Heather2006 ๐
I'm sorry to hear that. I know it can be difficult sometimes, but we should still focus on the positive aspects.
Do you have any ideas on how to improve this?
Warm regards,

Hi everyone, I am Pete from Nigeria living in Dubai. Love football, research and travelling. I'm overwhelm to be here hoping to engage all available resources on Airbnb to profit my investment and simultaneously giving back to Airbnb community. In my short time of joining I've met wonderful soul (Ahmed) who is never tired of my questions and he has been very helpful, God bless him. Once again am happy to be here and hoping for a long term relationship with everyone and Airbnb. Thank you.
Thank you for your introduction and welcome to the community. ๐
Are you hosting in Dubai?
