New to the Community Center? Introduce yourself here โ€Œ๐Ÿ‘‡

Hello everyone! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Welcome to the Community Center! ๐Ÿ‘‹  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 ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ I have been on the Community Center for 7+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling๐Ÿšฒ, playing footballโšฝ, and travelling๐ŸŒ . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe. 

@Bhumika  ๐ŸŒ I was born in Gujarat, India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ , and shifted to Toronto, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ last year! ๐Ÿ“ท I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. ๐ŸŒ† When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.

@Paula : I am from Colombia ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด and currently living in British Columbia, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries ๐ŸŒŽ and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking ๐Ÿšฒ and hiking ๐Ÿ”.

@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 ๐ŸŒฟ and like to minimise my impact on the planet ๐ŸŒŽ as well as volunteering in my local community.  I love sea swimming ๐ŸŒŠ yoga on the beach ๐Ÿง˜โ€ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! ๐Ÿ™Œ 

@Elisa : I was born in Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น and as a lover of unique experiencesโ€”from exploring the streets of Rome๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น , Paris ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, and Toronto ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ to appreciating timeless art and cuisineโ€”I'm here to blend the old with the new. 

@Alex : I'm originally from Spain ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ, but my passion for traveling made me move to Toronto๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ this year to explore the culture and add another unforgettable experience to my journey โœˆ๏ธ. I'm also passionate about all kinds of sports โšฝ๏ธ (especially football, in which I played at a semi-professional level) and love to discover new dishes everywhere I go. ๐Ÿฅ˜

 

@Emilie : I was born in France ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, raised in French Polynesia ๐ŸŒบ and Morocco ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฆ, 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. ๐Ÿฒ

 

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 regards๐ŸŒป,

Elisa

Hello!

I am Gunnar Wolf. I live in Mexico City, and together with my wife, we have been hosting AirBNB travellers for over two years. We live very close to Mexico's main university, UNAM, so our guests' profile is mostly for long-term (1-6 months typically).

We want to get in touch with other hosts, mostly other hosts in our area.

It has been very good! Of course, we have had to learn and adjust quite a bit, but our experiences are overwhelmingly positive.

HI Folks,  My name is Jon Scott I have been traveling with Airbnb since about 2011 and hosting in the Adirondack Mountains of New York USA since 2020. This is a huge region over 6 million acres (2, 480,000+ Hectares)of park and private land. The size of our region creates special challenges for hosting. 

 

I Host my own off grid property, cohost 2 other large homes and partially manage 2 others. My 4 owners have achieved Superhost but I do all the work.. Cohosts should get some credit here, too. I tell them; all they have to do is collect the money. I am happy to say we have had all 5 star reviews for 4 years.  I take care of the properties and the listings and deal directly with the renters, as if they were my own. As an experienced world traveler I know what folks like and what makes them remember a stay. 

 

Heres my main list: A very clean home, few local goodies, a friendly face, lots of good recommendations and information on Local things to do. Comfy beds and nice towels.

 

I am curious as to what other hosts do to make their guest just a little happier and little more comfortable etc.. Is there a list somewhere???

 

Cheers Scott

Hello @Camp-Garuda0 aka Jon Scott ๐Ÿ‘‹

 

Itโ€™s great to meet you and a huge welcome to the Community Center! 
 
I love your list of what makes a stay memorable. Those personal touches really do make a difference.
 
As for your question, I think it may get a little lost in the introduce thread so I'd encourage you to ask it in a stand alone post by starting a conversation. ๐Ÿ‘ˆ
 
Looking forward to hearing more about your hosting journey!
