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 @Elisa @Alex @Emilie 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. 

@Alex : I'm originally from Spain 🇪🇸, but my passion for traveling made me move to Toronto🇨🇦 this year to explore the culture and add another unforgettable experience to my journey ✈️. I'm also passionate about all kinds of sports ⚽️ (especially football, in which I played at a semi-professional level) and love to discover new dishes everywhere I go. 🥘

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 everyone! 👋

My name is Ahmed, and I host alongside my wonderful wife (Bassant) here in Hurghada, Egypt. 🏖️ Together, we manage cozy studios located in The View Residence, each offering breathtaking sea views and a peaceful environment.

Hurghada is a beautiful Red Sea city known for its stunning beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and world-class diving spots.

Hosting has been a fantastic journey for us as we love meeting guests from all over the world and ensuring their stays are comfortable and memorable. We’re thrilled to join this community and look forward to learning from your experiences and sharing ours. 😊

Hi @Ahmed1048 and Bassant, welcome to the community! 🙂 

 It's great to hear about your hosting journey in Hurghada and that you enjoy meeting guests from around the globe!

What are some of your favorite experiences or stories you've had while hosting?

[Ahmed1048]

Hi @Bhumika,

Thank you for the warm welcome! 😊 Hosting has been such a rewarding adventure for us. One of our favorite moments was hosting a couple on their honeymoon—they spent their days enjoying the pristine beach and evenings watching the sunset over the sea from their balcony. It was so special to see them create beautiful memories by the beach.

We’re so excited to connect with this community and share more of our hosting stories from the shores of the Red Sea!

Warm regards,
Ahmed & Bassant

[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.
