New to the Community Center? Introduce yourself here ‌👇

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

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.

Hi @Alice1748 , thanks for sharing your story 😍 it sounds like Nanyuki is a beautiful and peaceful place to call home.

 

What has been your favorite part of hosting so far? And have you found any special ways to highlight the unique features of Nanyuki for your guests? 🎉

Hello! I'm @Jesseca3, I have an Airstream I'm co-hosting with my husband and friend Liz.  I'm originally from WA state and live in Texas now. I have three dogs and two cats. Having this little airstream is actually a dream come true!!!! It's also so cute to be able so share it with our community and others. I am a day spa owner and the airstream is located on a ranch outside the popular tourist community my spa is located in. So it's a win win for everyone. Looking forward to this adventure.

Hi @Jesseca3

 

 Your airstream looks very cozy, and I love that you can spot the horses through the windows! Do guests often ask if they can spend some time in the ranch during their stays? It'd be very tempting. 😍

 

So happy to have you here with us!
