Hello everyone! 😊

Welcome to the Community Center! 👋  I'm @Bhumika , one of the Community Managers for our English Community Center along with my lovely team members @Quincy @Paula @Rebecca @Elisa @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. 🥘

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,

Bhumika

Hi I’m Mary and I’m in beautiful Northumberland in the northeast of England. I’m completely new to Airbnb but hoping to make some money letting out my house when I’m not in it. I think I’ll have a lot of questions as I’m a little anxious about how to make it all work so great to know you’re all out there with lots of experience!

[Lenetta0]

Hi, I’m Lenetta. Brand new to Airbnb in Annapolis, Md. and trying to figure out how to get bookings in what I believe to be a competitive situation. 

I grew up here and value the small town, historic nature of Annapolis. I still work and will for many years. In the meantime, I hope to set up my newly permitted ‘accessory dwelling unit ” as a nice income earning venture. 

I look forward to learning more about all of you!

My husband and I host from Moshi, Tanzania 🇹🇿, in East Africa. We have enjoyed the hosting experience so far and we hope to continue to learn and build up on  it. I  hope we may also have experiences to share that others may find helpful.

Hello, my name is Melodie from Toronto, Canada. I travel often to Hawaii to volunteer at a Leprosy settlement in Hawaii. It's my first listing on Airbnb! 

[Zamangwane0]

I am from Durban. I joined Airbnb as a host in December 2022. I have a deep passion for traveling and discovering the beauty and diversity of cultures around the globe. In addition to my love for travel, you'll often find me with my nose buried in a book. I believe that reading not only broadens the mind but also allows me to experience countless worlds and perspectives.
