New to the Community Center? Introduce yourself here โ€Œ๐Ÿ‘‡

Hello everyone! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Welcome to the Community Center! ๐Ÿ‘‹  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 ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ I have been on the Community Center for 7+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling๐Ÿšฒ, playing footballโšฝ, and travelling๐ŸŒ . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe. 

@Bhumika  ๐ŸŒ I was born in Gujarat, India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ , and shifted to Toronto, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ last year! ๐Ÿ“ท I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. ๐ŸŒ† When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.

@Paula : I am from Colombia ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด and currently living in British Columbia, Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries ๐ŸŒŽ and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking ๐Ÿšฒ and hiking ๐Ÿ”.

@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 ๐ŸŒฟ and like to minimise my impact on the planet ๐ŸŒŽ as well as volunteering in my local community.  I love sea swimming ๐ŸŒŠ yoga on the beach ๐Ÿง˜โ€ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! ๐Ÿ™Œ 

@Elisa : I was born in Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น and as a lover of unique experiencesโ€”from exploring the streets of Rome๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น , Paris ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, and Toronto ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ to appreciating timeless art and cuisineโ€”I'm here to blend the old with the new. 

@Alex : I'm originally from Spain ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ, but my passion for traveling made me move to Toronto๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ this year to explore the culture and add another unforgettable experience to my journey โœˆ๏ธ. I'm also passionate about all kinds of sports โšฝ๏ธ (especially football, in which I played at a semi-professional level) and love to discover new dishes everywhere I go. ๐Ÿฅ˜

 

@Emilie : I was born in France ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, raised in French Polynesia ๐ŸŒบ and Morocco ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฆ, 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. ๐Ÿฒ

 

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 regards๐ŸŒป,

Elisa

I'm Casey. I moved to Orlando from Atlanta in 2020 and bought my house in 2023. I love it here!

I started renting my spare bedroom at the end of December 2024 and just earned Superhost status!

I love hosting guests in my home. It feels like they are friends and family. I've made some lasting relationships and already have some regulars. Plus, I get to share tips and suggestions for things to do in the city I love.

I only wish I had started hosting sooner!

Hello @Casey464 ๐Ÿ‘‹

 

Huge congratulations on becoming a Superhost! You must be over the moon! 

 

It sounds like you've had a wonderful time hosting guests -and now friends) in your home. How do you find the balance when living in with guests?

Honestly, I just do my thing! I often have guests arrive for the weekends. I am always here to greet them and introduce them to my dog. But then I will go out and have fun with my friends.

 

I think my guests feel more comfortable knowing that I trust them in the home when I'm not here. And if they come home before me, a lot of them will even take my dog out for me!

I have also been honored to have many guests cook for me, bring me food, and give me gifts. Hosting in my home rocks!

Welcome to the Community Center! It's wonderful to have you here with us @Jorge-E56 ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hello, I'm Angie. I joined Airbnb about a year ago and have been fortunate enough to be a SuperHost twice in a row. I decided to start hosting because Iโ€™m not always able to be at our second home, and it provides an opportunity to earn extra income to support my family and help build a real estate portfolio for our children. The Airbnb community has been wonderful, and I'm so glad I made the decision to join!

Is there a way we can connect or see people in our city?

 

I want to know what problems hosts that live in my area are facing.

Sweet! I found it! I am from a medium-ish city in Southern Ontario.

 

It took me to a Facebook group. I was thinking that there would be a sub-community with in the Airbnb Community website, but this is okay ๐Ÿ™‚
