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

Hi @Manthan7 , welcome to the community center! How long have you been hosting on Airbnb?

I noticed that you've also created a topic to connect with hosts and receive tips on boosting and promoting bookings! I hope our hosts are able to share their amazing ideas with you.

Wishing you all the best!

[Kristen742]

Hi, my name is Kristen I manage a cleaning company in RI.  I am not sure if anyone is a host in the state of Rhode Island or Massachusetts.  I have been looking for ways to connect with local hosts to see if they may need cleaning services.  Our company has multiple Airbnb clients that we serve in the state.  You can check out our google reviews and website. [***Link removed in accordance with our Community Center Guidelines ***]  We would love to be of service if you ever are in need of a new cleaner. Clean & Pristine House Cleaning

[Mohamed1410]

I am Mohamed. Born in Egypt and live in the United States.  My 2 bedroom apartment that is listed on ABB is located in Al Rehab, Egypt and has an excellent location to restaurants, markets, malls - all in walkable distances.   We love to travel and have been using rental apartments in lieu of hotels for the past few years.  Because of all our great experiences, we decided to make our property available to other travelers.

Hi @Mohamed1410 , Welcome to the community!  It's great to hear about your apartment in Al Rehab.

[Cresencio1]

Hello everybody.  I was born in the Philippines where I have 3 Condos listed on AirBnb.  Now, I'm an American citizen living in California.  I have been hosting for a couple of years now.  Traveling is my passion having visited 46 countries around the world.  I took an early retirement from the "corporate world" to pursue stock market trading and hosting full time.  I want to join CC to learn the art of "hosting" from experienced Hosts.

Thanks so much for welcoming me.
