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 Everyone - I live and host in Austin, TX.  Between my guest house here and my previous studio apartment in NYC I've been hosting on the AirBnb platform for 14 years.  I'm always looking for ways to make my property more visible and make sure my guests are having an excellent experience.

My name is Jackie, I recently joined Airbnb as a host, I am excited but also nervous. I was born in Guyana 🇬🇾, but my family moved to the U.S. 🇺🇸 when I was a kid. I love traveling and meeting people from all over. I live in beautiful Colorado Springs, CO and am renting the basement in my house. It would be great to get some tips on how to manage shared spaces with guest if anyone has experience with that.

[Rebecca]

Hello @Jacqueline-S1, and welcome to the Community Center! 👋

You've come to the right place as we've got some fantastic experienced hosts on the Community Center. Your question might get more visibility if you pop it into the ✨ Advice on your space board - This is great for general questions about your space specifically, for example, the amenities that you have at the property to what types of sheets that you use, and also about shared spaces. 

Let me know how you get on and if you've got any questions just reach out! We're a friendly bunch and eager to support wherever we can.

[Drew4043]

Hi everyone! 👋 I'm based in Malaysia 🇲🇾 and have been around on Airbnb for over 9 years now! 🌟 My journey started with my first property, which hit Superhost status within just one month 🏅✨. That property had an amazing 93% booking rate 📈 and earned over six times more than traditional long-term rentals! 💰🙌 Thanks to Airbnb 

With a background in architecture 📐 and over a decade of experience in sales, marketing, and property management 🏡, I love creating spaces that feel unforgettable for guests 😍

Looking forward to connecting with fellow hosts and sharing tips, stories, and ideas! Let’s make every guest experience extraordinary! 😊💬
