New to the Community Center? Introduce yourself here โ€Œ๐Ÿ‘‡

Hello everyone! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Welcome to the Community Center! ๐Ÿ‘‹  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 ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ I have been on the Community Center for 6+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling๐Ÿšฒ, playing footballโšฝ, and travelling๐ŸŒ . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe. 

@Bhumika ๐ŸŒ I was born in Gujarat, India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ , and shifted to Toronto, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ last year! ๐Ÿ“ท I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. ๐ŸŒ† When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.

@Paula : I am from Colombia ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด and currently living in British Columbia, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries ๐ŸŒŽ and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking ๐Ÿšฒ and hiking ๐Ÿ”.

@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 ๐ŸŒฟ and like to minimise my impact on the planet ๐ŸŒŽ as well as volunteering in my local community.  I love sea swimming ๐ŸŒŠ yoga on the beach ๐Ÿง˜โ€ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! ๐Ÿ™Œ 

@Elisa : I was born in Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น and as a lover of unique experiencesโ€”from exploring the streets of Rome๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น , Paris ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, and Toronto ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ to appreciating timeless art and cuisineโ€”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

Greetings and Salutations

The name is Wade, my friends call me Haggie and I live in the middle of the Canadian prairies. Regina, Saskatchewan is the city of my choosing but I do enjoy travelling. I have only been an AirBnB host for a few months and I do enjoy meeting new people.

So far I have only stayed in AirBnBs in Scotland and the Yukon Territories but look forward to travelling in the years to come.

Hi @Wade120! Welcome๐Ÿ˜Š Itโ€™s great to meet you!

 

Living in the Canadian prairies must offer a unique perspective as a host. ๐ŸŒพ Whatโ€™s been your favorite part of hosting so far? And do you have any travel destinations on your wishlist that you're excited to explore?

Hello Quincy

So far I have only had about a dozen guests.  My intent was to provide affordable prices for people visiting ailing family members at the hospital since I am across the street. At the moment I had a guest who lives out of town and is a nurse working nights. I love the feeling of being able to help people.

The perspective I have of being a host on the prairies is that my guests have been people crossing this large country of ours. After all travelling from Toronto to Vancouver is like going from Moscow to Madrid. It takes many days to drive. I do my best to be a good Ambassador of Regina and tell my guests some of the history of this fair city.

My grandfather immigrated from Norway so my next vacation will be there in 2026 and I have been scouting out AirBnB opportunities already. After that I would love to escape the Canadian winters by visiting Central and South America.

Hi @Wade120,

 

Your dedication to hosting is truly inspiring! Hosting a dozen guests may look small on the surface, but the impact you're making by providing an affordable place, particularly for those visiting sick loved ones or working at the hospital nearby, is beyond measure. A little kindness goes a long way.


Will it be your first time in Norway? Because as someone who's visited Norway a few times, I can promise you - it's a trip you'll remember! Plus, your idea of escaping to Central and South America in the winter is genius - warmth, history, and culture, all rolled into one!

I am Jo and along with my husband Chuck, we began to host here in Massachusettes, USA.  New England is in the beautiful season of autumn and already our first guests have come and gone with more coming in the next few weeks.  Our surroundings have many trails, lakes, and rivers to explore. This is an exciting adventure in our retirement.  We are glad to be part of the community.

Hi, Thanks! 
I'm wondering if you know, will the Eufy locks be compatible with the Air bnb smart lock integration soon? or do i need to replace my locks for that to work?

Rebecca

Hey @Palti0, great to have you with us!  

 

I'm afraid I haven't used those locks myself, however if you start a conversation and ask the wider community, I'm sure other Hosts will be able to give you some more advice. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I'm from Colorado and am a new host. We love being able to share our town and community with those who want a change in scenery. I'm very happy to be apart of such a great community through Airbnb

We're so happy to have you here, @Ashton38

 

The area your tiny home is located in looks like so peaceful, I love it. I'm curious, have you found that guests come more often to relax or to have an active outdoorsy stay so far? It seems like a great spot for both!

Hi!
My name is Ananya Pandey, from Kolkata, India. I'm new to hosting and looking to dive deeper into the realm of real estate. I am looking to co-host properties and learn in the process. Figuring out how to get started as a beginner and belief the community will show me the light. ๐Ÿ™‚

I enjoy escape rooms and pampering my loved ones by recreating personal filmy experiences for them. I have a keen eye for observing patterns and be the counsellor friend for people.

Working from home as a Manager(Team Lead), I am looking for opportunities for financial growth and planning.
Looking forward to exploring opportunities here.

Do let me know if anyone needs a passionate host at their disposal and how any tips from fellow hosts on getting started.

Thankyou!
