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 everyone! I'm new to the community..... I think. My first guest checked in six days ago and I still haven't gotten my first pay out. So not sure if I'm official official yet lol. Anyway so happy to be apart of the community. I have thought about doing this for over 5 years now. Looking forward to learning and becoming a great host.

[Alex]

Hi @Mahogany7! 

Welcome to the community! I hope you are having a great start to the week. 🙂

If you are looking to learn, you are in the right place! What made you decide to become a host?

About the pay out situation, did you contact Costumer Support?

Hello, my name is Daniel! I've been in property management for the last couple of years and just posted my first rental on this platform in our town or Midland, MI. I am excited to host people in this cute 1200sq ft, 3br/2ba cottage buiilt in 1920. I have big plans for the front and back garden area, and hope to allow guests to pick fruits and vegetables during their stay.

Your property sounds wonderful and I can't wait to see what you do with it in the future!

Hello, Rebecca hope you are doing well.

It would be a great help if you can help as I have been stuck in one place, how can I link my AirBnB account to PMS?

As in see all the room types and layouts all in one place.

I am a new host btw and everything is new to me.

Thank you, Abdul.

I was born in Zululand and spent my teenage years in Durban, South Africa. I met my Kiwi wife in London and have lived in New Zealand since 1982. I have been fortunate to travel the world but I'm now retired and enjoy meeting people from around the world instead.

It's wonderful to meet you and your wife - it sounds like you've had a wonderful experience travelling around the world.

A huge welcome to the Community Center. It has so much information for hosts here.
