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, 

my name is Moiz, am new to the community centre but have been a host for over 3 years. I wanted to see how this works and also get tips on how to get regular bookings 😍. 

In all, I believe this must be a place where knowledge is acquired and new friends are met to help promote the business. 

Thank you for having me.

@Rebecca, your journey sounds incredible, and I love that you're committed to environmentalism 🌱. It’s inspiring to hear how you’ve lived in so many places and made a positive impact wherever you go. I’m sure your work as a children's yoga instructor must be so rewarding. Yoga on the beach sounds like a dream! 🧘‍♀️

@Elisa, I love how you're combining your love for exploring new places with a deep appreciation for art and culture. You’ve definitely visited some beautiful cities ** Rome and Paris are high on my list too! 🎨🍝 It’s wonderful to blend the past with the present and find beauty in every corner of the world.

As for me, being from Colombia 🇨🇴 and now living in British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦, I definitely have a passion for experiencing different cultures. Dancing is a huge part of my life 💃, and mountain biking and hiking keep me grounded and connected to nature 🚵‍♀️🌲. I can't wait to visit more countries and immerse myself in all they have to offer!
