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 7+ 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 there, my home town is in NE Ohio but we recently purchased our retirement home in Byrdstown, Tn. We have travelled and stayed at a lot of Airbnb’s and decided to put this second home on the program. While we aren’t new to the program we are new to the hosting side. We are excited to share with others what we call our little slice of serenity until the time comes to relocate. I have always loved hosting in my own home and feel this is an extension of that love. I joined this community to gain knowledge and tips to help me be a great host for my guest.

[Elisa]

Hi @Sherry-M1 😊, 

Thank you so much for your introduction, and welcome to the Community Center!

All the best to your current project! 🎉

In which countries have you traveled so far?

Warm regards, 🌻

Hi to  everyone, I am Michael From Egypt Cairo that where I am mainly from and where I am hosting, but at the moment I live in Italy on the hills of "val-tidone". I have been hosting in Cairo from four years,  but since I moved to Italy where I don't have a suitable place for hosting so I decided to start co-hosting. and I just created my co-hot profile so, wish me luck!

[Elisa]

Hi @Micheal69 😊, 

Welcome to the Community Center!

I’m from Italy as well. Why did you decide to move there? 😍 

How is your co-hosting experience going so far?

Warm regards🌻,

[Micheal69]

Hi @Elisa, 

Thank you for your reply.

Actually my wife is Italian, and we were living in Egypt until we have had a baby, so we decided to transfer here. I hope that we have did the right choice😂.

regarding the co-hosting experience, my profile just got activated this morning, "sono giovani come l'aqua"  😂

I would like to take this chance to ask you, is there enough requests on co-host services in Italy specially in the area of Piacenza and province? or it will be just something casual every couple of moths ?

Hello, everyone! I just joined the community, my name is Seidy Rodriguez, from Guanacaste, Costa Rica; living in Eugene, Oregon. I've been "hosting" my home in Costa Rica for a year now, without an idea how to do it. I want to take advantage of your experience and develop the needed skills to succeed. Thank you for letting me in 😊

Hi @Seydi3 😊, 

Welcome to the Community Center, and congratulations on your new beginning! 🎉
