Hello everyone! 😊

Welcome to the Community Center! 👋  I'm @Elisa , one of the Community Managers for our English Community Center along with my lovely team members @Quincy @Paula @Rebecca @Bhumika @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. 🥘

@Emilie I was born in France 🇫🇷, raised in French Polynesia 🌺 and Morocco 🇲🇦, and have settled in the UK for 14 years now! On evenings and weekends, you will find me spending time with my dog, working on a jigsaw, or trying my hand at some new cuisine. 🍲

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🌻,

Elisa

Hi Everyone, I'm LaWana.  This is my second year as an Airbnb SuperHost, and I'm so happy to be here!  I'm looking for more ways to learn, streamline, and increase profit.

"Hello everyone!
My wife Andrea and I are originally from Brazil, but we've been living in the U.S. for many years now.

Last year, we purchased a beautiful studio in Miami Beach, just steps from the ocean, and decided to give Airbnb hosting a try. We’ve really enjoyed the structure and support that Airbnb provides, and so far, it’s been a great experience with lots of positive interactions with our guests.

We’re excited to continue learning more about the business and becoming part of this wonderful community.

In our free time, we love the outdoors, cooking, gardening, horseback riding, and enjoying all the good things life has to offer.

Looking forward to connecting with all of you!"**

Hello @Jose9205,

Thank you for sharing your wonderful introduction! 😊

Which city in Brazil are you from? How has your hosting experience been so far?

Looking forward to hearing more from you!

Hi Paula

Belo Horizonte, MG...... so far, the experience has been great. We just had problems with one guest. He seemed very happy during his stay, wishing us Merry Christmas. But when he(they) left gave us 3 stars saying there were bugs in the apt and then requested some money back. Never said anything during his stay so we think he did this to get some money back. There are no bugs in the apartment, and we were really upset about this whole thing. But fortunately, everyone else has given us 5 stars so we hope to keep that up.
