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 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. 🥘

@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 everyone,  my name is wejdene and i live in Paris, I'm a Data Engineer . I'm an airbnb host and i have 3 properties in el Haoueria , Tunisia my hometown, a place I still hold dear to my heart.

I'm excited to share my love for this special place with fellow travelers.

Hi @Wejdene0 , thank you for introducing yourself to the community! 

It's great to hear about your three properties. Definitely beautiful place to travel 😍

As data engineering can be a complicated job, I am really curious on how are you managing both the worlds of hosting and a full time job. Do you have a co-host? Or do you prefer to manage the listings by yourself?

Regards,

Bhumika

Hi Elisa and all at CC

My name is Ayshe and I have in the past 3 months started advertising on AirBnb.  The property is a 2 bedroom house in Loughton, Essex, England in a great location, walking distance to everything and accessible to shops, tube, motorways.

I am excited to connect with other people doing AirBnb, and hope to learn lots from you all.

Warm regards

Ayshe

HI! My name is Jackie and I am a superhost from coastal NC!  Last year was my first year hosting and absolutely loved it!  My property is just shy of 5 miles from Surf City Beaches on Topsail Island.  In the future I would like to buy land to build more short term rentals on.
