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

Hi @Peter4379! Welcome to the Community Center!

Sounds like things are going well! What’s been your favorite part of the hosting experience so far?

Hey Everyone! 
This is Vaashee. 

I am a big fan of beauty and convenience. By recently being a host with a new BNB in Noida, I plan on spreading happiness by allowing my guests to simply be in a place where the time is still and mind is at peace.

I am a new host and will welcome any suggestions you have for me to make sure I am successful in this journey I have taken over. 

[Rebecca]

Hi @Vaishnavi9,

Welcome to the Community, and congratulations on starting you hosting journey! I love your hosting philosophy. 🌟

Perhaps you could share your listing with us on 'Ask about your listing', where you can ask other Hosts to critique your listing and give you some tips about how to improve it and help you be as successful as can be? 😊

Hey @Rebecca 

That's an amazing Idea, just did it. Looking forward to hearing about it and learning. 

Thanks a lot.

Fantastic @Vaishnavi9, I'm sure you'll get some useful ideas! 🌟

@Aimore0 : I was born in Brazil 🇧🇷 half German 🇩🇪 and Australian 🇦🇺  citizen. I've been living in Australia for some time now, and it truly feels like home. I love swimming , camping , and spending time at the beach . The beautiful landscapes and vibrant culture here inspire me every day, and I enjoy connecting with nature whenever I can.

[Quincy]

Hi @Aimore0, 

So great to hear from you! What an amazing mix of cultures you bring to the table – Brazilian, German, and Australian, that's incredible!

Living in Australia must be quite an experience, especially with your passion for swimming, camping, and beach time.

Nature definitely has a way of grounding us and bringing a little peace to the everyday hustle. 

It's great to have you here with us!
