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

Hello @Dianne389 👋
Wow! You're a new host and all the bookings have 5 stars, that's fantastic - well done! 😍
You've asked a great question here, but I think it would get more replies if it was a stand-alone thread. You can start a conversation here to ask the experienced hosts. 👈
Let me know when you've done it and we can tag some members into the conversation to share their advice and support. 😊
Hi everyone! 😊 I’m Junaid, excited to be part of this amazing community! I’m from Pakistan, and I absolutely love exploring the rich culture, history, and landscapes of my country. It’s great to see such a diverse group here, and I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you. Can’t wait to share and learn from each other’s experiences! 🙌
Hi @Muhammad572, welcome to the Community!
I’d love to hear more about your favorite places to explore! What’s one spot in Pakistan you think everyone should visit at least once? 🌍
If you're visiting Pakistan, Faisal Mosque in Islamabad is definitely worth exploring. The architecture is stunning, and the peaceful atmosphere adds to its charm!
Hello
I am Anilkumar from India. I am a planter, having a small farm with Cardamom, Peppers, Coffee, and some fruit trees. My Homestay Urumbihill Homestay is situated 850 meters above sea level in a small remote village called Urumbikkara, district Idukki in Kerala.
Hi @Sukumaran0,. Welcome to the Community!
Your farm and homestay must be such a peaceful and beautiful escape. 🌿

Born and raised in beautiful sunny South Africa, the land of contrasts.
Simple person, loves the ocean, my kids and just peanut butter, keeping fit is not my priority but eating wisely is.
Love cycling with my kids, i can count less than 5 times on the bike without them over the past 5 years.
Just a peaceful soul,
Love
