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 @Lawrence344 👋

Welcome to the Airbnb community and congratulations on listing your property in Nantucket! If you'd like feedback on your listing, I recommend checking out the ✨ Ask about your listing - You can ask other Hosts to critique your listing, you could be pleasantly surprised at what other people see!

Wishing you all the best in your hosting journey! 🌟🏝️

Hi everyone, I am a new member of Airbnb. It took me some time to understand the entire process after listing a property with Airbnb. A bit about myself: I am forward-thinking, enthusiastic, and passionate about diversifying my experiences, which include 23 years in the travel and tourism industry. I have listed a property in one of Dubai's most popular areas to meet customer expectations. Any tip on making it a success is most welcome 🙂 

[Rebecca]

Hey @Homestead3 👋

Welcome to Airbnb and congratulations on listing your property in a popular area of Dubai! Your experience in the travel and tourism industry will definitely be valuable in your hosting journey. This will be a great space for you to get advice from other Hosts. 😍

My favourite boards are:
✨ Ask about your listing - You can ask other Hosts to critique your listing, you could be pleasantly surprised at what other people see!

✨ Advice on your space - This is great for general questions about your space specifically, for example, the amenities that you have at the property to what types of sheets that you use.

Hello everyone my name is Manoj Thomas , I am originally from Kerala , currently living in Saskatoon , Saskatchewan, Canada. I have lived and travelled most of the Caribbean islands and US. Lived in Florida for 10 years. I love travelling and exploring different cultures and cuisines.

our first experience with Airbnb was great, we have been getting lots of non profile requests that are not genuine. Currently we are on instant booking I am not sure if that needs to be changed.

Great to be in this community group 

have a great day !!

[Rebecca]

Hey @Manoj87 👋

Congratulations and a huge welcome to the Community Center! It's great to have you here with us. It's wonderful to hear that your first experience with Airbnb was great.

Great question re instant booking preferences, if you head to Support with your bookings section, you can ask the hosts there for support and their feedback.  😍
