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 from Florida, USA,  my name is Loida, I was born in the northeast USA but have lived in the southeast most of my life.  I've been a real estate agent selling residential real estate for over 30 years and am retiring soon.  I love to travel and meet people from different cultures.  I appreciate nature and this beautiful planet that we've been given so I love spending time outdoors.  I'm fascinated by the beautiful architecture around the world especially because Florida is still so new compared to Europe and other countries.  My Airbnb is in a "historic" small town named Mount Dora in Central Florida.  By historic, I mean the late 1880's.  It's very cute and quaint with many small shops and restaurants.  There's also a lake that connects to a chain of lakes where you can bring a small boat and meet other boaters.  There's a lovely hometown golf course as well.  It's simply a cute little town which is very different from the rest of central Florida which is full of chain restaurants and tourist attractions. We are 45 minutes north of Disney World.

Hello @Loida21, welcome to our community.

It would be amazing if you could share some pictures of the lake view. 😍

How has your experience been so far? How is this season shaping up for you? Is it a vibrant or calm hosting period? 

Keep us posted

Hello everyone. I'm Romildo. I was born and live in Brazil, a large and developed country. I live in the city of São Paulo (the largest in South America). I live across from beach of Santos SP. I am a person with many skills: I am a lawyer, an aeronautical expert, a quality auditor, and a novelist. I love taking walks along the beach at dusk.
I try to provide my guests with an experience of comfort, excitement, and tranquility, with as much privacy as possible.
Come and discover the beaches of Brazil and São Paulo.

[Paula]

Hello @Romildo11,

Thank you so much for joining our community 😊

Brazil has always been on my bucket list; it is such a vast country with so much diversity. What would be the top 3 places to visit for a first-timer in Brazil? They can be cities or any other type of destination.

Congratulations as well on your Superhost status—it really showcases the effort you put into hosting.

Regards,

[Romildo11]

Hello @Paula . Brazil is a very big country, it is not possible to see everything in one or two trips. Some interesting places to visit are: The city of São Paulo, its gastronomy, fairs, theaters and the Japanese neighborhood of Liberdade. Also the beautiful beaches on the coast of São Paulo. In the state of Paraná we have the "Iguaçu Falls", a huge waterfall, I think it is the largest in the world. In the State of Maranhão we have the "Lençóis Maranhenses", a white sand desert full of crystal clear pools. These two tourist spots are wonderful. I don't recommend Rio de Janeiro because it is very dangerous, there is a lot of crime. Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, is beautiful and modern, with its beautiful gardens and Brazilian government buildings.

Kia ora everybody! Cam here, from Maraetai, Auckland, New Zealand. It's great to join you all. I have just put our family home up for people to come and enjoy! This is all very new to me, so it'd be great to promote my listing somehow? Also, how do I join the Amazing Views category? Many thanks in advance, and namaste. 🙏 🇳🇿

[Rebecca]

Kia ora @Cameron439 👋

Congratulations and a huge welcome to the Community Center! It's great to have you here with us. 

You've asked some great questions here. I think it would be a great idea to pop them in their own thread in ✨ Help with your business. That way it will stand out to more hosts and you'll be able to get more support 😍 

Looking forward to seeing you around on the Community Center.
