New to the Community Center? Introduce yourself here ‌👇

[Elisa]

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

[Jennifer5123]

Hello!

I am new this year to hosting in the short-term rental market and look forward to learning as much as I can to maximize earnings potential.  Thank you!

[James4605]

I am a frequent Airbnb user, staying almost exclusively with super hosts all around the country. Until today. Airbnb's bone headed move towards fascism is stupid business and stupid politics. Unless and until you axe the fascist from your ranks, you won't see me again.

[Flo4357]

Hi. I have been signed with airbnb 7 years. For my active time, I maintain superhost status. 

  Like many of those commenting here, I was dismayed for Airbnb to be linked to DOGE. 

 I lose too much productive time being horrified by the daily bombardment of Trump insanity. 

 It's a small comfort to read others feeling the same.

  The income from this endeavor is important to the survival of my farm.

 This winter was dismal for earnings. I don't know  what else to do to generate income. 

 Do any of you have insight for why it's very slow? I get the economic uncertainty, and WINTER. Anything else?

 I support protest . It looks like  Airbnb use in America will decline.

[Asa2715]

My name is Asa and I'm boycotting AirBnB starting today. I'm not sure what makes AirBnB think that carelessly destroying our society is a fine side job for a sitting board member, but I will not stand by and let this happen. I hope you won't either, whoever's reading this post. I'm with you, not with the destroyers. You can take a side too, today.

[Yashar6]

My name is Yashar, and I am excited to join the Airbnb community as a new host. I am hosting a comfortable three-bedroom house in West Hills, CA, and I look forward to welcoming guests from around the world. My goal is to provide exceptional experiences, and I would greatly appreciate any tips or advice from more experienced hosts as I begin my hosting journey. Looking forward to hearing from you. 

[Marisa-Dos-Santos0]

Hello, I'm Marisa, born and raised in Douro. At the moment I have La Cigarrita Guest House, a wonderful house well located for those who want to discover this beautiful region, with stunning scenery, good food, excellent wines and genuinely friendly and welcoming people! Feel free to ask any questions about this beautiful region.

[Azlandy0]

I'm Azlandy from Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia 🇲🇾, a fellow Airbnb host based in Kota Samarahan. I manage Tycostylo Apartment, a cozy studio apartment that I'm passionate about sharing with guests from around the world.

I'm always looking to connect with other hosts to exchange tips, experiences, and best practices to enhance our hosting skills.

I would love to connect and perhaps share some insights or even collaborate in the future.

Feel free to reach out or just want to chat about hosting. I'm always here!

Looking forward to connecting with you.
