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

Good day all,
My name is Shernell! I live and host in Sint Maarten, Dutch Caribbean. I've been hosting for 2 years!
My goal has been to provide a space where guests feel as comfortable as they do in their own home - home away from home.
I'm happy to be a part of this community and I'm eager to learn from fellow hosts.

Hello. Ken and Kathy Maurer. We live in a rural community of Birch Run, Michigan, a five minute drive from Frankenmuth, Michigan - home to the worlds largest Christmas store.
We just started hosting and it has always been our plan when we retired to host people in our home. Originally to be a Bed and Breakfast, but Air BnB is a better fit for us.
Ken retired 2 years ago and I retired last month. We have married for 44 years. We enjoy spending time with our three children, their families and camping.
Looking forward to the next chapter of our lives and meeting new people. Strangers are just friends we haven't met yet.
Hello @Kathy1503, Congratulations on your recent retirements! I agree, Airbnb is a perfect fit for hosting 😊
