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 @Griffin37 😊, 

It's amazing to have someone as passionate as you in the community.

All my compliments on the incredible achievements you've had so far! 😍

@everyone

Hello I am Byron from Davenport, FL, U.S. or at least that is where my townhouse is located at.  Between Disney and Universal Studios.   I just purchased it last May and allowed the previous owner to let his bookings run through.  Now I am ready to set things up since he retired and move forward on to this journey to build a legacy for my son and grandchildren.  It is awesome to meet you all.  Here is a picture of the front of my townhouse.Front of the townhouseupper 2nd bedroomUpper 3rd bedroomKitchenLaundry room upstairsLiving room and dining roomLower master bedroomShared bathroomLower master bathUpstairs master bathupstairs master bedroomBack of the townhouse

Hello,

I am Zita, happy to join this community.

I’m an artist  from Budapest, I am a mother of two naughty teenager and a cutie -pie Labrador buddy. I’m thrilled to welcome you to this creative retreat by the lake Balaton. My Bohemian Holiday House is not just a getaway—it’s a space filled with art, inspiration, and a touch of magic.

I love to travel, of course, (especially the south of France :). 

[Alex]

Welcome @Zita89! 🤗

Since you mentioned that your house is filled with art, inspiration, and magic, I'd love to know what your favourite part of the house is or what you consider the most special. Also, where did you get the inspiration from? 

Looking forward to hear from you! 🙂

[Wisinee0]

@Elisa Hello, my name is Wisinee, I live in Krabi, Thailand. I am a local here. This is the first time I have created a home that I designed myself and we did it ourselves, not using a designer, but we love doing it and we want to share with people who come through and be impressed by the atmosphere surrounded by mountains and close to the sea.
