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

Hello!  I am a part of the hosting community of Pittsburgh, PA!  My journey started in 2014, when I first heard about Airbnb through a photographer.  Soon after, I was hosting my first guest, who, by the way, became a friend.  Years, later, in 2019, we met again and I gave him a tour of the Facebook campus, where I worked at the time.  The connection that we make with unique guests can be so long lasting and enriching!  I love staying with Airbnb guests when I travel and I have booked 16 Airbnb experiences. From food tours to hiking, there is something for everyone.  I am thrilled to be a part of this community.

Hi @Carla1246 😊, 

Welcome to the community center, it's nice to have you with us!

Your story is amazing, thank you for sharing it here. 😍

What is Facebook Campus?

Do you prefer being a host or a guest on Airbnb?

I wish you all the best in this experience, and don’t hesitate to reach out to the community if you ever need help.

Warm regards 🌻,

Hi @Elisa ,

Facebook has many office spaces.  Menlo Park is the primary, where guests can have a tour with their employee hosts.
You asked me a question I had not though about.  Guest or Host? I believe at this point,  being a guest has more of a surprise element for me in terms of the space where I'm staying and the people I am meeting.  I'm passionate about traveling and fostering connections.

Thank you for your contributions to this community and let me know if I can help in any way.

Carla

Hi @Carla1246 😊, 

Thank you so much for explaining that to me, it’s so interesting!

Did you work for Facebook?

I love your choice of preferences! 😍

It’s great to have passionate hosts like you. If you’d like to help, it would be amazing if you could reply to any post in the community where you feel your knowledge could support other hosts.

Warm regards, 🌻

As an avid traveler, I love exploring different cultures and meeting new people. I'm thrilled to be part of the Airbnb community!

Hi @Claudia4289 , welcome to the community center and it's great to hear from you!

Your listing sounds absolutely wonderful, and it's fantastic that you're so passionate about showcasing Dublin and connecting with travelers.

I happen to notice that you're also a Superhost! For how long have you been a Superhost on Airbnb? 😍
