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 @Rebecca ,

That’s a very good question! The third one will actually be a new experience for us, as it will be a caravan.

I’m not entirely sure what kind of hype or engagement to expect from people renting a caravan.

Do you have any helpful tips or advice for making it successful?

Best regards,
Fouad

[Rebecca]

I don't personally have experience of hosting but feel free to start a conversation and ask your question about renting a caravan!  😊

I'm sure some of our hosts will be able to share their advice and tips, and we can tag some hosts in that may have commented on similar topics before!

Looking forward to seeing your conversation pop up! ✨

Hi everyone.  I am Ann and I live in the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia, the home of Olympic gold medalist Julien Alfred.  I began in hosting seven months ago and absolutely love the experience of meeting persons from different parts of the world, getting to know them and ensuring that they have a great stay during their time on this beautiful island.

I love nature and to be in nature and the chance of being creative in everything that I do.  Being in a peaceful and calm environment helps alleviate stress and anxiety and I look forward to helping persons live that experience.
