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

Hi there! I'm Lia, and I'm just getting started with hosting! Originally, I'm a real estate agent in Malta with Hungarian roots, so working with properties and people comes naturally to me. I've been living in Malta since 2014 and my love for this little Mediterranean gem grows every day. Excited to connect with all of you!

[Alex]

Welcome, @Lia27148!

It's a pleasure to have hosts with the knowledge you have about managing properties. I'm sure we will learn a lot from you! Knowing that you are hosting from Malta, what's your favorite part about it?

[Marie10744]

Hello, 

Thank you for the warm welcome. My name is Marie and my husband Pascal and I are new hosts. Our property is located in San Antonio, TX but we live in the Dallas area. We are hosting remotely so the learning curve has been steep. I am looking forward to learning and leveraging the knowledge in this community. I love traveling, experiencing new cuisine and good wine. This is a new adventure for us as we are about to become empty nesters.

Hi @Marie10744 😊, 

Welcome to the community center, it's great to have you here!

How are you managing the remote hosting? Who is helping you with cleaning and welcoming guests?

What would you like to learn specifically here? 😍

Warm regards 🌻,

[Marie10744]

I partner with a cleaning company via Turno and I use a PMS to facilitate communications. I also have a handyman/maintenance assistant who can complete needed tasks.

I want to learn more about optimizing my listing, marketing, pricing, enhancing guest experience.
