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

I love swimming , camping , and spending time at the beach . The beautiful landscapes and vibrant culture here inspire me every day, and I enjoy connecting with nature whenever I can.

Hi @Aimore0, 

So great to hear from you! What an amazing mix of cultures you bring to the table – Brazilian, German, and Australian, that's incredible!

Living in Australia must be quite an experience, especially with your passion for swimming, camping, and beach time.

Nature definitely has a way of grounding us and bringing a little peace to the everyday hustle. 

It's great to have you here with us!

Hello Bhumika, 

I was born in Nanyuki town which sits at the foot of Mt Kenya, about 200kms from Nairobi which is the capital city of Kenya. I would love to travel more than I have as I love nature. I have been working in Nairobi but I feel drawn back to my hometown. I have since set up an airbnb there that can serve as a home when am there and as an Airbnb home when am not there.  love the weather and landscape that Nanyuki offers and I hope to share the same with my guests. Looking forward to learning more from the experts in the Community Centre.
