[Bhumika]

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, I’m Alicia from Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico 🇲🇽, home to some of the best coffee in the world ☕. I host in a beautiful circular home surrounded by nature and positive energy. I’m passionate about spirituality, meditation, and personal growth ✨. I also love dancing salsa 💃 and connecting with people from all over. I enjoy creating unique experiences for my guests and sharing the magic of Coatepec. Thrilled to be part of this vibrant community! 🌿

[Paula]

Hola @Alicia1401 😊 Bienvenida

Wow, I didn’t know Coatepec had one of the best coffees in the world! Is it related to the environmental conditions in the area?

Have you thought about offering an experience related to coffee for your guests?

I thought you might also be interested in joining our Spanish Community Center, so feel free to join using the link I just shared.

Best regards,

[Alicia1401]

Hello! 😊

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! Yes, Coatepec is known for its amazing coffee, and the unique climate and soil conditions really make a difference in the quality of the beans.

I’ve been thinking about creating a coffee experience for my guests, maybe a tour of local coffee farms or a tasting session. I believe it would be a great way to share the local culture.

I’m also very interested in joining the Spanish Community Center. I’ll definitely check out the link you shared.

Thanks again, and best regards!

[Pooja74]

Hello to all the community managers and fellow team members.

I'm Pooja Bansal from Mumbai, India. I was an interior designer and now a parent to my child.

The thought of keeping my parent's home in a good state and maintaining it got me to Airbnb. Its been only a week and I can already see the hustle and bustle in the house from welcoming the guests to one or the other repair work coming up. Really happy to be hear. The most special thing about this home is that it is designed by me in 2010-11. It was my first solo project.

I'm also a sudoku enthusiast.

[Paula]

Hello @Pooja74 😊

What a wonderful introduction! Thank you so much for that 😍

We would love to see some pictures of the house. Congratulations on this solo project!

Looking forward to keep reading your contributions in our community.

Best regards,
