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! My name es Val, i was born in Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱, but I spent many years living in Buenos Aires 🇦🇷 before returning home. I love connecting with people, helping them, and making sure they feel great—always aiming to make every interaction special. In my free time, I enjoy activities that bring me creativity and peace, like meditating and mixing music. I’m here to learn from the best and create unforgettable experiences for my guests. 😊
Hello @Valeska37
I love Chile! I had the opportunity to live there for a year, and it was a wonderful experience. I especially enjoyed the south of the country—the mix of lakes and mountains is so unique, and I loved the architecture in that area. Have you visited the south? Do you have any recommendations for good places to visit?
Are you currently hosting in Santiago?
Looking forward to hearing from you! 😊
¡Qué genial! Chile es realmente hermoso, con una geografía única que te permite estar en la playa y en la nieve el mismo día. El sur es un sueño, y justamente en estos días estoy por viajar a Pucón. Ya lo he visitado varias veces y lo súper recomiendo, es un lugar espectacular para explorar.
Actualmente, estoy hospedando en Santiago en mi propio departamento, y también soy coanfitriona de cuatro propiedades de mi pareja. Tenemos planes de seguir sumando más propiedades pronto, y yo seré la coanfitriona de todas. Por eso me uní a esta comunidad, para aprender de otros anfitriones y recibir buenos consejos. 😊
@Valeska37 Precisamente, Pucón fue el lugar que visité, y parte de mi corazón se quedó allá. Sin lugar a dudas, es uno de los lugares más especiales que he visitado.
Me alegra mucho tenerte en nuestra comunidad. Te cuento que en este momento estamos interactuando en la Comunidad de habla inglesa, pero puedes seguir participando aquí si lo prefieres.
También tenemos una 👉comunidad de habla hispana, la cual puedes visitar y dejar tus mensajes en español. Por favor, siéntete libre de interactuar en la que desees.
Cualquier cosa que necesites, estoy aquí para ayudarte a navegar por nuestra comunidad. Un saludo.

@Valeska37 Pucón was actually the place I visited, and I left a piece of my heart there. Without a doubt, it's one of the most special places I’ve ever been.
I’m really happy to have you in our community! Right now, we’re interacting in the English-speaking Community, but feel free to continue participating here if you prefer.
We also have a 👉Spanish-speaking community where you can visit and leave your messages in Spanish. Please feel free to engage in whichever one you prefer.
If you need anything, I’m here to help you navigate our community.
Best regards!
How awesome! Chile is truly beautiful, with such a unique geography that lets you be at the beach and in the snow all in the same day. The south is a dream, and actually, I’m about to travel to Pucón soon. I’ve visited it several times, and I highly recommend it—it’s an amazing place to explore.
Currently, I’m hosting in Santiago in my own apartment, and I also co-host four of my partner’s properties. We’re planning to add more properties soon, and I’ll be co-hosting all of them. That’s why I joined this community, to learn from other hosts and get great advice. 😊
Hi I am Geva from Braemar in the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland. Braemar is a real hot spot as we have the best countryside in Scotland (Oh yes we do!) and a very smart hotel called the Fife Arms which brings stars to the village. Not everyone can afford the hotel so we have opened up our 2nd home (which is right behind us) that our grown up children come and stay in for discerning visitors. We arent cheap, I dont want back to back bookings, its a luxury house inside and very well equipped
Hi @Geva7
Welcome to the community! 😊
I love Scotland, it’s my dream to spend 10 days in a cozy cottage with a porch! 😍
Have you received any reservations yet?
Warm regards🌻,

Hi, I'm Joe
I reside in Orlando Florida. Thank you for having me as part of the AirBnb community.
I like to take projects (mostly construction) from design to completion. This is my first time hosting and am excited to learn!
Hi @Joseph2484 , Welcome to the Community Center! Do you have any questions related to hosting as a first time Host? 😉
What are you most looking forward to as you begin hosting?
Hello everyone, I'm Shaun. I have an Airbnb property in Myrtle Beach, but I reside in the Washington DC area and work as a software engineer. I've just cleared a year on hosting, so I'm still green. I've used feedback from other hosts as well as social media resources to learn more about hosting. So far everything has been good....better than expected. Of course there have been ups and downs and a few panic button moments, but all-in-all, it has been worth it. Looking forward to learning from you all.
Hello @Shaun580 , Welcome to our community and thank you so much for sharing your introduction! Congratulations on completing your first year as an Airbnb host! We are glad that your first year went so well 🙂
You might have some questions or comments, so please feel free to start a ⭐ New conversation here ⭐, asking any questions you have. I am sure our lovely Hosts will be more than happy to share their opinions.
Hello, Airbnb Community!
My name is Saly, and I’m a host based in Centerville, Virginia. I originally come from Mali, West Africa, and work in the Pharmacy Compliance field. I manage an Airbnb property and enjoy providing guests with a safe and comfortable stay. I’m here to connect with other hosts, exchange tips, and continue learning from this vibrant community. Looking forward to engaging with all of you.
Kind regards,
Saly
Hello @Saly82,
Welcome to our Host Community! 😊
How has your experience been so far? How is this season shaping up for you?
Is there something special about the location of your accommodation that you'd like to share with us?
Warm regards,
Monika 🌼
Thank you for the warm welcome! 😊
My experience has been great so far! Hosting has been a rewarding journey, and I’ve enjoyed meeting guests from all over. August was a good month but September is slow so far. I’m excited for the bookings ahead.
One of the special things about my accommodation is its location. It’s just 30 minutes from Washington, DC, and 15 minutes from Dulles International Airport. We’re also close to several universities, golf clubs, country clubs, and national parks. The neighborhood is part of a very diverse and welcoming community, making it a perfect spot for guests who want a peaceful retreat while still being close to major attractions.
Looking forward to connecting with more hosts and sharing experiences!
