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 @Kathryn-Wemple0 

Welcome to this wonderful community! 😊

Hello Everyone!

We jumped on the Airbnb wagon at the early days. Currently co-hosting numerous units in Toronto and the Niagara region. We quickly realized how hard it is to find a good cleaning team and personel that can perform light management tasks and maintenance. So we started our own business in the GTA and Niagara region providing cleaning, stocking and maintenance services to fellow hosts. ❤️

Hi  @Nancy-And-Kolos0 😊

Welcome to the community!

I’m based in Toronto as well and understand the challenges of finding a reliable team.

It’s impressive that you’ve started a business to support Hosts.

How did you come up with the idea?

Warm regards🌻,

[Raghav40]

Khamma Ghani everyone! (That's a warm welcome in Rajasthani!)

I'm Raghav, and I call the beautiful city of Udaipur my home. I love exploring hidden corners, capturing the city's beauty through my lens, and indulging in the delicious local cuisine.

Let's explore the world together, one story at a time!

[Elisa]

Hi @Raghav40 

Welcome to the community! 😊

Your city  sounds like an incredible place to call home, and your passion for exploring and capturing its beauty is inspiring. 😍

What’s one hidden corner of Udaipur that you think every visitor should experience?

Warm regards🌻,

[Raghav40]

Thank you for the warm welcome! It's wonderful to be part of this community.

One hidden corner of Udaipur that I believe every visitor should experience is Badi Lake. It's a serene, man-made lake surrounded by hills, located a bit outside the city center. Unlike the bustling Lake Pichola, Badi Lake offers a tranquil escape with stunning views, perfect for a peaceful picnic.

It's truly a hidden gem that captures the essence of Udaipur's natural beauty.

If you're ever in Udaipur, I'd be delighted to share more of my favorite spots with you!
