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,

I am from Houston,TX and I am just launching my airbnb today in Foley,AL.  We are in a quaint little beach town, my house is 6 miles from the beautiful Gulf Shores Beach.  I am not new to the rental world but to the Short Term I am a brand newbie!  I have a 4BR 2BA stand alone home.  I am in my mid 50's hoping this will be our retirement home one day.  It took a lot to get it going had a lot of family stuff get in the way so aquired a lot of debt like 50K.  So really hoping to make some of that up.  I took the safe route for the first guest.  Where do i add the part about check the fridge for what condiments and the spices in the cabinet?  

thanks.

Hello @Kristine362 👋

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

You've asked a great question here. I think it would be a great idea to pop them in their own post in ✨ Advice on your space. 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.
