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,
Bhumika

@Elisa Hi I'm Chris. I live in Penticton British Columbia Canada.
I am so new that I haven't even completed my registration. What I do like so far is to being part of an organization where you look after one another and assist each other towards creating a great experience for whomever chooses our properties to rent
Hi @Christopher-Michael-Creighton0
welcome to the community๐
I am living in Canada as well and I definitely need to visit British Columbia! ๐
Can you tell me more about this project?
Warm regards๐ป,

Hi Elisa.
I am just setting out the account for renting my one bedroom condo on the 7th floor of Lakeshore Towers in Penticton. It's a lovely condominium community with many many amenities. Almost like living in a resort except private.
I have not been able to list it yet as I am having trouble being able to enter parts of the required information. The postal code in particular. I can't enter a Canadian address because it thinks I'm in the USA. The keyboard that is displayed only has numbers no letters. And the app won't let me go past the postal code because it is a required field. You wouldn't happen to know a way around this would you? Technical support has not been able to help so far. Take care and thanks
Hi all, noobies here in Alaska. We were told very emphatically to stay away from Airbnb, but needing to pay bills, we took the plunge and it has been super-fun! More fun than we expected, so now we're kind of getting in deep, which is what brought me to these forums, to educate myself more. How to make this a successful venture to possibly open a couple more.
I thank you in advance for any education or advice you can share that would make this even more fun than it already is!
Thank you Airbnb,
AB

Hi I am Daksh, currently residing and hosting a brand new apartment in Malahide, Dublin. It is my very first experience on Airbnb. There is lot of anxiety, but I hope once the dust settles down, it would be a smooth sailing.
I am an avid Chess Player (it is mostly hobby now) and whenever time allows go out for Badminton. I am looking for tips and suggestions of being a great host, any personal experiences that you can share would be valuable
Regards
Daksh

Do your properties receive about the same number of bookings, or do your guests have a favorite among the three?
Warm regards,
Monika
We get more bookings on the bigger properties also that are closer to the excursion.
