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

This is Erna, originally from Indonesia, and currently share my time between TX, CA, and CO. I take cleanliness as a high priority in my rental and that's typically what the guest commented on. In addition, I let my guests use the kitchen to live a healthy lifestyle. All of them like this option and the freedom to prepare their meal. I required them to clean after they each used the space. The guest loves the health option more than cleaning. I appreciate the opportunity to meet other hosts and share my hosting experience.

Hi,
@Haider6:  This is Haider Jilani, the Founder and CEO of Balmy BNB, a homestay brand based in Newtown, Kolkata. Balmy currently operates three towers in Newtown and is quickly becoming a preferred second home for travelers to the area. I bring extensive experience working with several 5-star hotels across India as a branding and marketing partner through my association with Addmania.

Having traveled extensively across India, I have a deep understanding of cultural values and evolving consumer behavior. In addition, I am an analyst of the emerging homestay business and actively researching the shifting preferences of travelers choosing homestays over traditional hotels and resorts.

In my free time, I engage in creative writing and blogging.

Hello, I am Dennis from Cebu, Philippines 🇵🇭. I am currently in the construction industry (construction contracting) and I have a great love for dogs. 

I have been an Airbnb host for a little over a year now and became a Superhost about 9 months ago. 

I love to travel and my wife and I try to travel outside the country every year as much as possible. 

Being an Airbnb host is such a rewarding thing.  Seeing positive review of guests is truly a humbling experience and at the same time something that you can be proud of.

Γεια σας,

είμαι η Έλενα και  ζω στη Limni  Ευβοίας στην Ελλάδα !

έφτιαξα, με πολύ αγάπη και μεράκι, ένα κατάλυμα δίπλα στη θάλασσα,  όπου θέλω οι φιλοξενούμενοί μου να αισθάνονται όμορφα, θετικά και άνετα, σαν να είναι στο σπίτι τους! Μακάρι να καταφέρω να το περάσω αυτό σε όσους θέλουν να  χαλαρώσουν και να περιηγηθούν στο όμορφο χωριό μου! 

Είμαι πολύ καινούργια και χαίρομαι που κατάφερα να μπω στην παρέα σας !  Ελπίζω να τα καταφέρνω κάθε χρόνο !
