Introduction

[Ngiyephi-Patience0]

Hey! I'm Ngephi, a teacher from Durban, South Africa. I joined Airbnb a couple of months ago, and I'm absolutely loving it! Hosting people and hearing all their amazing stories is just the best – I could listen all day, haha. My dream is to host full-time, and hopefully, I'll get there soon. When I'm not hosting, you'll find me traveling, trying new foods, meeting new faces, or just chilling out with a good comedy series and having a laugh. I would love meeting new friends here

@Ngiyephi-Patience0 Please don't host full time. The world needs inspirational teachers more than it needs Airbnb hosts.

Hey @Ngiyephi-Patience0 

So lovely to read your intro

I'm also a teacher and host – Just like you, I absolutely love it.

Meeting new people and hearing their stories really makes it all worth it. Looking forward to connecting more with you here! 🌍✨

Wow, that's so nice @Ngiyephi-Patience0 . I love it when my guests want to check in later, then I know I'll be back from work. I want to be there when they check in

What do you teach?

Hi Ngephi. I am a host as well, my listing is in S. Portugal. I've had the pleasure of hosting for 3 years now with guests from many places around the world. It has been a nice experience thus far... 100% truth, I do get a little bit nervous with each new booking hoping the guests will enjoy their time and appreciate my efforts for their comforts and conveniences by taking good care of the flat during their stay. So far, so good. Wishing you a journey filled with joy, and success as well!

Thanks for the warm welcome @Dani12527 . I thought my nerves would improve with experience, especially with the consistent 5-star ratings, but I still get nervous before each guest arrives. I think we care for our guests more than we know.

My friend visited Portugal last year and she has only good things to say.

What’s one of the most memorable or surprising stories you’ve heard from a guest so far? 

I’d love to hear more!
