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 @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 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,

Hello Elisa and the CC Team,
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! Iโm excited to be part of the Community Center and to connect with others on their Airbnb journeys.
My name is Michael Atnafu, and Iโm from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I joined Airbnb because of my passion for meeting new people from around the world and also as a small business.
Iโm looking forward to learning from others, sharing my own experiences, and being part of this vibrant community.

Good day, I am Percy that live in South Africa and travel to Europe and the UK each year since 2014 (except for the Covid period). My wife is French, and we have a house with direct beach access in Southbroom, KwaZulu- Natal hosted by Elize.
The past 10 years the house always attracted responses, but strangely this year, there seems to be no interest. It is as if the South African Air BnB market has disappeared.
We are hopeful that next year will return to the usual occupancy.
Hi @Percy48
Welcome to the community! ๐
What an amazing mix of cultures! Were you born and raised in South Africa?
Iโm sorry to hear that. What do you think are the reasons the market is disappearing?
Warm regards๐ป

Hello everyone!
My name is Paola (Pao to my friends) and I'm relatively new in Airbnb, I'm from Mexico City but I live in North Carolina USA. I love to spend time with my family, and visit new places, make friends and enjoy good food. I'm a plastic painter so be a Host in Airbnb is a great way to do a different job and connect with others.
Hi @Pao4344 , Welcome to the Community Center ๐ป
Being a Host is indeed an amazing way to connect with people from all over the world ๐
What are your favorite holiday destinations so far? Would you like to share more about your artworks?
My wife and I live in the US , but travel to Jamaica often. This is the reason we have decided to start this AirBnb journey. We now have a space in Jamaica we can use when we are there and host when we are away. We are happy to be part of this community.
