New to the Community Center? Introduce yourself here โ€Œ๐Ÿ‘‡

Hello everyone! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Welcome to the Community Center! ๐Ÿ‘‹  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 ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ I have been on the Community Center for 6+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling๐Ÿšฒ, playing footballโšฝ, and travelling๐ŸŒ . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe. 

@Bhumika ๐ŸŒ I was born in Gujarat, India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ , and shifted to Toronto, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ last year! ๐Ÿ“ท I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. ๐ŸŒ† When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.

@Paula : I am from Colombia ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด and currently living in British Columbia, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries ๐ŸŒŽ and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking ๐Ÿšฒ and hiking ๐Ÿ”.

@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 ๐ŸŒฟ and like to minimise my impact on the planet ๐ŸŒŽ as well as volunteering in my local community.  I love sea swimming ๐ŸŒŠ yoga on the beach ๐Ÿง˜โ€ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! ๐Ÿ™Œ 

@Elisa : I was born in Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น and as a lover of unique experiencesโ€”from exploring the streets of Rome๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น , Paris ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, and Toronto ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ to appreciating timeless art and cuisineโ€”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 @Robert-William1

 

Welcome to the community to both you and your wife Chris! Do you always go camping in the same area, nearby perhaps in case the guests need you, or do you use those opportunities to explore different spots? ๐Ÿ•

I am in Ohio with two houses listed and another five houses that I manage for other owners. I also added a house in Arkansas when our daughter moved there so we have a place to stay when visiting her and she cleans it for us between guests. Love hosting and meeting people.

Hello @Barb4077, and welcome ๐Ÿ‘‹

 

That's quite a lot of properties! What would be your top tip for other hosts in terms of overseeing multiple listings efficiently? ๐Ÿ’ก

Greetings Denisse here.  I was born in Ecuador and moved to the states when I was 15 years old due to my father's work.  I currently host a 1/1 suite annex to my house in Raleigh, NC.  My goal is to bring guests  a place with a clean and modern feel but at the same time, a place where they can feel like  home.  My inspiration is  Le Meridien Hotels b/c I like the simplicity yet affluent vibe w/out coming across like a "W" hotel wh/ trends to be more fun and obnoxious.   I started my application to host like seven years ago and it wasn't until July/September of this year that I started to Airbnb the place.  It's been a solid learning experience thus far and I am using the funds so I can send my teenage daughter to Summer camp in New York....as  a single parent, not easy but hey, neither is adulting I tell you :)!

Hello @Denisse115

 

Welcome to the community, we're so happy to have you here. ๐Ÿ˜Š

 

I wasn't familiar with Le Meridien Hotels but I can see how you it's inspired your listing. What has been the most valuable lesson you've learned since you started your hosting journey?

 

I'm right there with you on adulting! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‚

Hi Rebecca, 

 

Thanks so much!! 

A few of my favourite things to do are - sunsets at Gympie Terrace over looking the Noosa river, the sunsets here are stunning :)) 

Mount Ninderry climb with magnificent views overlooking the Noosa hinterland and Maroochy river.

Noosa National Park walk - Little Cove beach to Hell's Gate, this walk takes you past some of the best surfing beaches in the world and is arguably one of the most stunning coastal national park walks.

Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve is a 3km sub-tropical rainforest loop walk that takes you thorough lush vegetation with an abundance of bird life and pademelons ( small marsupials ) to finish with awesome views of the Glass House Mountains whilst enjoying a cream tea....whats not to love!!

@Radhika25 That sounds incredible ๐Ÿ˜ Does any wildlife pay your studio visits at times or do they stay in the Parks and Reserves?

Yes we live directly opposite the National Park so we are lucky enough to be regularly visited by kangaroos, kookaburras ( every sunrise & sunset! ) , black cockatoos, a huge array of parrots, blue tongue lizards and the occasional carpet python....its a haven for wildlife! :))
