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 from Australia and live near the Murray River. I am a Registered Nurse and work in the local area. I love nature, swimming in the river and bush walks. I have previously hosted before when I lived near the beach and enjoyed it immensely. I’m preparing my listing at the moment so not published yet but looking forward again to hosting.

[Rebecca]

I am from Korea and have moved to Melbourne, Australia. I enjoy indoor sports such as rock climbing and squash. However, since I have a puppy, I often take her for walks. I love seeing her happiness and enjoyment during our outings.

My name is @Hajar41 , I'm from Red Sea government In Egypt. I rent my bay house  It's a very beautiful place to be visited. One of the most important thing about our city is the good weather at winter and the magnificent view of the coral reefs and the many fish that swim around you in the picturesque clear waters 

I just joined the community and I'm hoping to learn a lot from you to be able to present my unit that I rent in a professional way

Often those who stay at home are coming to enjoy the vacation, but this does not prevent them from working from home, where there is free internet , a place to work, and quiet environment help any one accomplish his work, but as I said, the majority of people come to spend the vacation
