Hello everyone! ๐
Welcome to the Community Center! ๐ 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 ๐ณ๐ฑ I have been on the Community Center for 6+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling๐ฒ, playing footballโฝ, and travelling๐ . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe.
@Bhumika : ๐ I was born in Gujarat, India ๐ฎ๐ณ , and shifted to Toronto, Canada ๐จ๐ฆ last year! ๐ท I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. ๐ When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.
@Paula : I am from Colombia ๐จ๐ด and currently living in British Columbia, Canada ๐จ๐ฆ. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance ๐) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries ๐ and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking ๐ฒ and hiking ๐.
@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 ๐ฟ and like to minimise my impact on the planet ๐ as well as volunteering in my local community. I love sea swimming ๐ yoga on the beach ๐งโ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! ๐
@Elisa : I was born in Italy ๐ฎ๐น and as a lover of unique experiencesโfrom exploring the streets of Rome๐ฎ๐น , Paris ๐ซ๐ท, and Toronto ๐จ๐ฆ to appreciating timeless art and cuisineโI'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,

Hello! I'm Andrea and live on the beautiful Gold Coast on the east coast of Australia. This is my first Airbnb listing and it's great to have a community to source quality info from. ๐ Our property is surrounded by nature yet close to all the GC has to offer from the quaint Mount Tamborine cafรฉs, nature walks and shopping, to the fun theme parks only minutes away. I'm yet to take any bookings so any advice to get going is appreciated!
Hi @Andrea8263,
Welcome to the community, and congratulations on your first listing! You cottage looks really cozy with nature all around it. ๐
Perhaps you could 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, even more so when you're starting out! ๐
Hi, I am Malcolm and hosting with my wife a wooden chalet since 2019 in a beautiful area of France, with lots of trees around.
We are from England, had to take early retirement due to my wife's illness (which has been better in a warmer place) and use the chalet to top up a small pension.
Both my wife and I love wildlife, we love to watch birds, so we got a property with a bit of land. We built the chalet ourselves out of a kit which looks over a meadow surrounded by trees.
I love hearing our guests (many come from big towns and cities) talk about what they have seen and heard, like owls in the night or deer in the evenings.
Hi @Malcolm238,
We're so happy to have you here with us! I'm really glad to hear retirement in this lovely area of France is agreeing so well with you and your wife. I can't believe you built this chalet by yourselves though, how long did that take? ๐ฎ๐
It does look like a wonderful spot for wildlife lovers. I can imagine it also because a winter wonderland over the snowy months.โ๏ธ
