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 @Elisa @Alex @Emilie 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. 

@Alex : I'm originally from Spain 🇪🇸, but my passion for traveling made me move to Toronto🇨🇦 this year to explore the culture and add another unforgettable experience to my journey ✈️. I'm also passionate about all kinds of sports ⚽️ (especially football, in which I played at a semi-professional level) and love to discover new dishes everywhere I go. 🥘

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

Renting out your spare room sounds like a practical step given the circumstances.

Hi I have removed my listing as I have decided to get a full time lodger instead as I'm not too comfortable having different ppl staying at different times as I'm sure that would also annoy my neighbours

Hi Host Community,

Myself Divya Nair. Just listed my place on airbnb in Bangalore. My place is named Arendelle Luxe. I customised my place like how I would like an airbnb should be if I book one myself. 

[Elisa]

Hi @Divya77 

Welcome to the community! 😊

Arendelle Luxe sounds like a fantastic place. I love that you customized it based on your own preferences as a guest. 😍

I am curious, could you share some of the unique touches or personalizations you’ve added to make your Airbnb stand out?

Warm regards🌻,

[Kathryn-Wemple0]

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. ❤️

[Elisa]

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🌻,
