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

Your listings look incredible! I’m particularly drawn to the cave room with the private pool!

 

I’d love to hear more about what makes your corner of the world special and see some more photos. I'm also curious about the history of the cave homes and what inspired you to begin hosting.

 

You can start a new conversation by clicking here or using the "Post" button in the upper right corner (if you’re on a computer). I'm sure many people would be interested in reading your hosting story 🙂

The room with private pool is cool right!? 🙂 

I will try to post something about Cappadocia if I find the right words and time!

Hi there, my name is Michael Hall and i am from the tiny island of Antigua in the Caribbean. I decided to sign up with you because a friend of mine who is listed on your site recommended that i do the same as he was quite happy with the inquiries he receives. I own a 3 bedroom cottage and a condo in Jolly Harbour, Antigua which are within a gated community which has 2 beautiful beaches and all amenities necessary for a memorable vacation.

Hi @Michael9349. Welcome to the Community!

 

Your properties in Jolly Harbour sound amazing, especially with the beaches so close by.

 

What do you recommend guests do when visiting Antigua to make their stay unforgettable?

There are so many things to visit in Antigua as we have Nelson's Dockyard, a World Heritage Site. Also you can take a ferry to Barbuda our sister island to visit one of the only 2 Frigate Bird Sanctuaries in the World, or you can go to Stingray City and swim with these amazing rays. For entertainment you can visit Shirley's Heights on a Sunday afternoon for steel pan party while taking in the world famous scenery of the historic National Park.

Hello, I am Daniel and I just listed my room. I am a Canadian but moved to Prague about 8 years ago. I love traveling, meeting new people, trying new foods, and exploring new cultures. I enjoy playing sports, listening to music, hiking, and spending time in nice cafes. Prague is a great city and I welcome all who would like to come and explore it.

Hi @Daniel13733 - welcome to the community! 👋

 

Congratulations on your new listing, it's the beginning of such an exciting journey. It might be interesting for you to share your listing with us on 'Ask about your listing', where you can ask other Hosts to critique your listing and give you some tips about how to improve it and help you be as successful as can be? It's often a useful exercise. 😊

 

We look forward to seeing you around!

Level 1
Santa Barbara, CA

Hello, I am Michele Martin. I live in Santa Barbara, CA. I am a credentialed elementary school teacher and chose not to teach this year so I can care for my twin grandchildren. In the afternoons, I have my own business as an after-school care provider. I love to guide children through a variety of art, music and poetry activities. We are very active, often going for nature walks or to the park. The children vote on 3-5 social action projects each year. Last year, on of their lemonade stand fundraisers was able to give the Maui, HI fire survivors $500. and a box of their clothes and treasures. I love to be in or near water. I enjoy stand up paddle, riding my bike, jogging, and time in my garden. Pleasure to read about each of you.

HI @Michele2221

 

Great to have you with us! Were you hosting already before you stopped teaching have you started when you focused on your after-school care business? 

 

I love how creative, caring and anchored in generosity all the activities you organise with children are, they must have a wonderful time with you. 🌟

Ahed44
Level 1
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

I am a proud Syrian national with a passion for hospitality and a diverse professional background. I graduated from hospitality college in 1996 and soon after moved to the UAE to kickstart my career.

My journey began at Le Méridien Hotel in Abu Dhabi, where I spent four years honing my skills in the hospitality industry. I then transitioned to the entertainment sector as a cinema manager for another four years, which helped me develop a unique perspective on guest experiences.

Following that, I spent four years as a sales and marketing manager in the media sector, followed by a role as the sales and marketing director for EarthCam.com’s Dubai agency for two years. Most recently, I’ve dedicated over 14 years to public relations management at the Khalifa International Award for Date Palm and Agricultural Innovation, where I’ve worked to promote sustainable practices and innovation in agriculture.

On a personal note, I’m happily married to my wife, who is Egyptian. Together, we have three wonderful children: a set of twin boy and girl, both 17, and a younger son who is 16. Family is incredibly important to me, and I cherish the time we spend together.

As a host, I strive to create memorable experiences, drawing from my extensive background in hospitality and my love for bringing people together.
