Hi everyone, 

 

I wanted to let you know about some upcoming changes to the Community Team. With a heavy heart, it's time for me to leave the CC, as I will take on a new challenge in my career. 

 

I've been part of this community for almost two years, and while I didn't join it during the... best of circumstances, I loved coming to work every day, thanks to you all. 

 

I will dearly miss talking to you, coming up with content ideas for you to read, creating topics and taking virtual tours around the world alongside you; raise your hand if I ever bugged you to create content and send you a doc link to do so. I'll miss the continuous flow of expert advice and knowledge you all had and provided to your peers, the engaging discussions, the fun games. 

 

The good thing is I'll be staying with Airbnb, building and supporting a team of Host Leaders in Southeast Europe. I will still see most of the CC team in different meetings from time to time and will have a chance to find out how you all are. I might even make a surprise appearance in a meetup - not a threat but proceed with caution 😁

 

The community will always stay very close to my heart, and I'll make sure to visit from time to time to read your posts. I'll certainly pop in to read your feedback on some exciting things we've been planning for a while. 

 

This also means that a new Community Manager is stepping in to ensure the trio of managers is restored around here; please give a big welcome to @Sybe - between his love for cooking, his purrfect cat and the energy he brings he’s basically me, but Dutch - so you are in good hands 😜

 

So go on, keep making me proud!

Well @Nick  it’s been a pleasure having you on board the CC. I’m glad for your new challenges and endeavours, that will see you still with AIrbnb. DO drop in to the social get togethers, so we can see and hear you occasionally.

 

So stay well, stay safe and keep enjoying life! 💐

 

Welcome on board @Sybe! Yes, you have some big shoes to fill, but you will do it in your own way, as @Nick  did before you…….   🙂

 

Don’t rush, stay alert, and as I’ve always said:

Stay fair, stay firm, stay friendly and take time to listen , enquire and be flexible where needed. 
Welcome aboard! 🙌🏼

@Nick,

Congratulations on your new endeavor!  It's always exciting to see someone take on new opportunities.  I am sure that you will take the experiences and information learned here in the community, and use them to help the group of host leaders you will be supporting.

 

@Sybe, welcome.  I hope you enjoy your ride with us.  

Don't just believe what I say, check the Airbnb Help Center

@Nick Well, I'm not good with bye at all....actually, I dislike them so much especially with people that you know have a kind and sweet spirit. Its so bizarre that 2 yrs has elapsed already but time is now different for everyone I'd say. We were so fortunate to get the 2 yrs of you onboard the team to help keep us afloat Nick. We will remember you - and hope you'll pop in on some zoom meet ups to surprise us. Really glad that you aren't going far and hope its going to be a fine adventure into the new position. Take care and we thank you for all your work, your kindness during these very turbulent days for everyone. Blessings always Nick

 

@Sybe I didn't waste time introducing myself to you did I? Thanks for taking on my immediate question and small challenge over the first message of introduction.  I wasn't deliberately testing or anything, I just had an issue of concern and Sybe thanks you immediately helped me, told me what to do and how to do it with such clear instructions so I could feel safer, and more secure. Welcome to the CC....You Rock in my book. I know we will all get to know you better and I'm sure it will be awesome. Till soon
