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 Nikita, and I’m excited to connect with fellow hosts.

I manage my own Airbnb as well as several properties for others here in Connecticut. I also own Cleaning Service CT, which helps streamline operations from deep cleans to fast turnovers. Having a trusted network of contractors, handymen, and landscapers makes it easier to keep both guests and property owners happy.

Hosting is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it's creating a welcoming space or checking in to make sure everything's going smoothly, I always aim to provide a great experience. I speak English, Latvian, and Russian, so I enjoy welcoming travelers from all backgrounds.

Looking forward to learning from this community and sharing ideas!

Hi @Nikita187! 

Welcome to the Community! It's lovely to see that you love hosting, as this will be reflected in the way you take care of your guests' experiences. What aspects would you like to learn about hosting?

Best, 

Alex

[Kasturi5]

Hi, my name is Kasturi. I am a host from Maharashtra, India.

My parents have been hosting on Airbnb for more than 9 years now. I became a co-host as soon as I turned 18. Now I’m onto starting my own listing and can’t wait to host many more amazing people. As a student in college, this platform is not only a place to make friends but also a great way to earn a little side income to help me further my education. It is an honour to be part of this wonderful community where like minded hosts come together. Thanks you for having me, I look forward to connecting with my fellow hosts🫶🏼

[Alex]

Hello @Kasturi5!

Congratulations on your own listing! I'm sure you are really excited about this new project. Since you are still a student and always eager to learn, what aspects will you focus on the most in this Community in order to learn? 🧠

Best, 

Alex

[Kasturi5]

Yes I am very excited @Alex ! All these years we’ve been getting amazing like minded guests all because of the reviews. We connect with each guest personally, have a good talk, and make sure their stay is memorable. With this new listing of mine, I wanna go up a level and make sure that my property itself is the best in the area. Competition has also risen and that is making it hard to get reservations. 
I join this community because I want to connect with experienced hosts and learn how I can make my listing better. And so far I find this platform a treasure chest of knowledge! I am so grateful to be a part of this community 🫶🏼

[Crys816]

Hello! I'm Crys 🙂 We restored a century home and started our first two airbnbs! I love attention to detail and am excited to have people come stay. 

[Alex]

Hi @Crys816! 

That's such a beautiful idea! Where did the idea of restoring a century-old home come from? Was it always in your plans? 🏡

[Robyn553]

Hi I live in Central Queensland and have a cottage here that’s been in my family for three generations. It will be 100 years old in 2030!
I’ve spent a lot of time, energy and $$$ renovating it last year and starting my hosting journey in September. As I was born, raised, educated and now working here, I have a breadth of local knowledge to offer guests, as well as a personal touch with their stays. 

I’ve only just discovered this space so am hoping to pick up a few tips although the Australian market is different to other countries I think. 
I’m hoping for super host after 11 five star reviews. 🤞 

[Alex]

Hi @Robyn553, 

The fact that the home will be 100 years old in 5 years is impressive! It must be such an honor to stay in a house with so many stories. I'm sure that you will learn many things in this Community. What are your interests in learning from other hosts? 🧠

[Sara10960]

Hey I am Sara.. I am a new Airbnb host based in Zurich Switzerland. I see all the local groups are on Facebook.. however I am not on fb. Is it ok for me to ask a question here? Do any one based in Zurich hosting on airbnb have recommendations for reliable cleaners including Linen rental services. I tried a few local cleaners but they are not good enough 😞

[Alex]

Hi @Sara10960!

Welcome to the Community! Of course, here you can ask for all you need. Other hosts will come and help you giving you good tips. How long have you been hosting? 

Also, in order to leave a question, I recommend you to start a new thread so active members can come to your thread and ask. This is your link to start a new conversation:new conversation. 👈

Let me know if you need any help!

[Elizabeth3776]

My name is Elizabeth and I am from Snohomish, Washington! I have a STR in Chelan, WA and a MTR in Avondale, AZ. I am a mom of three adult men and I have two fur babies, Max and Millie. I am in business with my husband and we are growing our properties portfolio, slowly. We are thrilled to be a part of the Airbnb community but sometimes have a hard time navigating all of the tools and necessary info. I am going to be taking on a client as their property manager, soon, so just trying to get better at finding my way around, proficiently, so I don't waste too much time or miss important details! Thanks for your help and for this community!

[Alex]

Welcome, @Elizabeth3776!

From what I can read, you have a beautiful family! I also have a fur baby named Archie. 🐶

Sometimes it might be hard to find information, but with the help of all our hosts, you will be able to find all the information you need. What are your initial questions that you would like to ask? 🗣️
