Hello everyone! 😊

Welcome to the Community Center! 👋  I'm @Bhumika , one of the Community Managers for our English Community Center along with my lovely team members @Quincy @Paula @Rebecca @Elisa @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 6+ 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. 🥘

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,

Bhumika

Greetings, I live in Lexington,  KY.  I am an interior designer and real estate agent. I love creating beautiful functional spaces. I wanted to create a space that was above the normal living experieince of my guests. The home is located in the susdivion where I was raised until going to college. Bracktown is one of the remaining freetowns where slaves settled over 100 years ago. It is a beautiful area sourround by some of the most stunning horse farms.  It's even more spcecial that I am investing in my subdivivsion. 

I am looking forward to sharing,  learning, and growing with this group.

Hi @Nicole3800, Welcome to the Community Center!

Would you share some of your go-to design tips for short-term rentals? I think a lot of us could learn from your approach!

Google Translation added by Community Manager:  Hello, how are you? I greet you from Colombia. Due to various circumstances, I explored Airbnb, which has been a very enriching experience. Meeting people, some of their cultures, and the way they see my country have been part of the learning.

Hello everyone, 

I'm Håvard from Norway. We are a family of four+dog. don't do so much travel ourselves, living quite busy lives here. We have a summer house by the coast, which is quite attractive, all seasons. We don't get to use it so much as we want to, and therefore chose to rent it out via Airbnb. We are quite new to all this, but so long it has been uncomplicated and rewarding, both in terms of economy, but also to get to meet all kinds of people that rent from us.

All the best,

Håvard

Hi Everyone, 

I am Rahul from Jodhpur, Rajasthan, started hosting my place few months ago and I am really enjoying it.

[Umberto441]

Hello everyone! My name is Umberto and I was born in Germany with an Italian dad and a Polish mom. Since 2021 I live in Guatemala at the beautiful lake Petén Itza close to the island of Flores. My journey on Airbnb began back in 2021 when I started to rent out my shipping container home in the Guatemalan jungle. Ever since I started, my guests have repeatedly gifted me the super host status which I am very proud of. I continue to provide a warm and welcoming retreat for travelers and love how it lets me meet new people and share stories that are both inspiring and interesting. I hope to learn a lot from my fellow hosts and maybe even give a little advice if I can.
