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 Suraj. I am originally from Nepal, but I host an Airbnb in the United States, Mississippi Area close to Mississippi State University. I have been the host for the last year and recently reached the Super host level. I am very excited to continue hosting and connecting with other hosts. 

[Alex]

Welcome @Suraj58! 👋

t's a pleasure to introduce you here to the rest of the Community. Tell me a little bit about your story! How did you end up hosting in Mississippi?

Also, you mentioned that you received the Superhost recognition. Congratulations! Why don't you share it with the rest of the community in the Superhost celebration post? Here is the link.

Best, 

Alex

[Suraj58]

Thank you, @Alex. I am working in a full-time Principal Engineering role and doing my PhD in Engineering as well at Mississippi State University. I see this city offers very few hotels compared to the actual need, so I found it the best option to start an Airbnb where I can make side earnings as well as help people with accommodation. 

[Alex]

That's such a great idea, @Suraj58!

I'm sure you are enjoying the process! How's the experience going so far? 🏡

Hi Bhumika, 

I just posted my condo in Longmont, Colorado, as a midterm rental in January. I had my first guest this month, and so far so good!

[Maaike28]

Hi, I'm Maaike.

I host a house via Airbnb in Geraardsbergen (a city in Belgium). The house is suitable for 8 people, making it perfect for families or a group of friends. The region is well-known among cycling enthusiasts and is also an ideal base for hikers. Through this community, I mainly hope to find a sounding board among fellow hosts, so we can help each other with tips and tricks.

[Bhumika]

Hi @Maaike28 , it's great to see you in the community! 😍

Your house in Geraardsbergen sounds like a wonderful spot for families and friends! Given the popularity of your location for hiking and cycling, do you offer any cycling or hiking equipments to your guests ? 

Regards,

Bhumika
