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 and @Elisa 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.
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!
well, the best tips that I can give, is to give the guest top service and good communication. And always prioritize reputation before money✨
yes! I absolutely love the old style of photography😍 I find this more rewarding than digital. No I have not used it together with my business
Hi! I’m Julie Lee in Danville, Va. looking forward to hearing from those experienced in Airbnb!
Hi @Barbara3527 , Welcome to the Community 🌻 How has your hosting journey been so far? I noticed that you've received glowing reviews from guests 😍 Are there any specific tips you follow while welcoming guests, that help with receiving positive words from guests?
Have there been any memorable guest experiences so far? 😉
Thankfully I’ve had some wonderful guests so far! I like to message them and be as personable as I can be
Hi Bhumika,
I am originally from Toronto, Canada, but now live in a charming fishing village 40 minutes north of Boston. I have lived in the U.S. for over 25 years and love to travel. I am a former teacher and middle school principal who loves to collect books (and occasionally read them:), swim in the ocean, do yoga, pickleball, cycle, and walk with my unreasonably large golden retriever.
Hi @Tonya214 , Welcome to the Community Center! Thanks so much for sharing such a lovely introduction with us 😍
Do you have any favorite book that you usually recommend others? 😉
Has your experience as a former teacher and principal influenced your approach to hosting and communication style with guests?
Haha, sounds like the cutest golden retriever! If you don't mind me asking, what's the name of this fluffy one? 😍
Dear All,
I am Csilla from Hungary, have just started to find my way as a co-host on airbnb. I am very excited and amused. Love to hiking, teaching, biking... 🙂
Greetings,
Hi @Csilla32 👋
Congratulations and a huge welcome to the Community Center! It's great to have you here with us.
Are you a teacher? What do you teach?

Hello! My name is Marek. I’m originally from Poland, but I’ve lived in the UK for half of my life. I currently live in Cardiff, Wales, where I host my apartment. I’ve been hosting for over a year now, and I really enjoy it as it allows me to meet new people and develop my hospitality skills. I love an active lifestyle, so I travel a lot and I’m passionate about sports.
Hi @Marek136 , it’s great to hear how much you’re enjoying hosting and building connections with the guests. Which place has been one of your favorite travel destinations so far? 😍
Given your passion for sports, I was curious if you've watched the recent Olympic games and had a favorite sports moment so far? 😉
Hi! Hello! Namaskaram (in my regional language)
Thrilled to be in here.
I am Dr Jayanthi, been an academician (Biotechnology) for over two decades. Hosting was a passion and triggered my entrepreneurial mindset through Airbnb. Quit job to venture hosting and farming with energy and enthusiasm. My goal is to offer unique stays that blend education, sustainability and hospitality. Love to create meaningful content that aids hosting.
Hi @Dr-Jayanthi1 , Vanakkam 😍
