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 @Elisa @Alex @Emilie 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. 

@Alex : I'm originally from Spain 🇪🇸, but my passion for traveling made me move to Toronto🇨🇦 this year to explore the culture and add another unforgettable experience to my journey ✈️. I'm also passionate about all kinds of sports ⚽️ (especially football, in which I played at a semi-professional level) and love to discover new dishes everywhere I go. 🥘

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

Hey there, my name is Amy!  My family and I moved to the panhandle of Florida less than a year ago when my husband retired from the military. We are active real estate investors, and the STR space definitely piqued my interested when we moved to a tourist destination spot. I quickly began cohosting and absolutely love it! I would like to add more listings to my portfolio.

Looking forward to connecting with other cohosts and learning from this great community!

Hi everyone!
My name is Liz, and I’m excited to be back in the Airbnb hosting community. I first hosted my property in Miami back in 2018, and after a few years away, I’m thrilled to return to the business. Now, I’m managing a property in Davenport, Fl and I’m eager to learn from the community and share experiences. Looking forward to connecting with fellow co-hosts or hosts and making this journey even more rewarding! 

[Rebecca]

A huge welcome back @Liz6937 🎉 
We're so happy to have you here with us! 

You're definitely in the right space to learn and be a part of the Airbnb Community. Have things changed much since you last hosted? 

[Liz6937]

Hi Rebecca, thank you!
Yes, it has changed a lot. Now we have more information about a variety of tools and resources available to us as hosts.
Back in 2018, I had a co-host, but I was very involved.

I am from Boise Idaho and currently hosting in Donnelly Idaho in the mountains.  I like to get away and Ski at the resort in Tamarack, Snowmobile in the winter and Surf and ride ATV's in the summer.  Our Airbnb is on the lake with stunning views and is out of the way of traffic and my go to statement is Go Relax!

[Paula]

Hello @James4472,

Thank you so much for your introduction! 😊

Would you like to share a picture of the lake view? I would love to see it.
