New to the Community Center? Introduce yourself here โ๐
Hello everyone! ๐
Welcome to the Community Center! ๐ 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 ๐ณ๐ฑ I have been on the Community Center for 7+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling๐ฒ, playing footballโฝ, and travelling๐ . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe.
@Bhumika : ๐ I was born in Gujarat, India ๐ฎ๐ณ , and shifted to Toronto, Canada ๐จ๐ฆ last year! ๐ท I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. ๐ When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.
@Paula : I am from Colombia ๐จ๐ด and currently living in British Columbia, Canada ๐จ๐ฆ. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance ๐) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries ๐ and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking ๐ฒ and hiking ๐.
@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 ๐ฟ and like to minimise my impact on the planet ๐ as well as volunteering in my local community. I love sea swimming ๐ yoga on the beach ๐งโ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! ๐
@Elisa : I was born in Italy ๐ฎ๐น and as a lover of unique experiencesโfrom exploring the streets of Rome๐ฎ๐น , Paris ๐ซ๐ท, and Toronto ๐จ๐ฆ to appreciating timeless art and cuisineโI'm here to blend the old with the new.
@Alex : I'm originally from Spain ๐ช๐ธ, but my passion for traveling made me move to Toronto๐จ๐ฆ this year to explore the culture and add another unforgettable experience to my journey โ๏ธ. I'm also passionate about all kinds of sports โฝ๏ธ (especially football, in which I played at a semi-professional level) and love to discover new dishes everywhere I go. ๐ฅ
@Emilie : I was born in France ๐ซ๐ท, raised in French Polynesia ๐บ and Morocco ๐ฒ๐ฆ, 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. ๐ฒ
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 regards๐ป,
Elisa

Hello @Tracey-Ann4 ๐
It's so great to meet you - welcome to the Community Center! Congrats on your first booking too ๐ What an exciting milestone! It sounds like Joshua's Estate is a fantastic getaway spot, especially with all the beautiful nature around.
What made you nervous about your first booking? Do you think you'll feel the same for your next one?

Hi @Rebecca ,
Thank you so much, and yes, it is a perfect getaway from all the hustle and bustle.
I was just nervous because it was my first booking in general. I kept thinking about whether I forgot something or if my guest would be comfortable. But once everything went smoothly and I got that first bit of positive feedback, it boosted my confidence. I think I'll feel a bit more relaxed for the next one, but still just as eager to make it special!

Hello Airbnb Host Community,
I'm Ahatsham Zaidi from New Delhi, India, and I'm excited to join this amazing community of hosts!
Iโve just listed my 1 BHK apartment in Malviya Nagar and am looking forward to hosting guests from around the world. As a new host, Iโm here to learn, grow, and share experiences with fellow hosts who have been in the game longer.
Any tips on getting those first few bookings, ensuring guest satisfaction, or managing things smoothly as a solo host would be truly appreciated!
Looking forward to connecting with you all and being part of this inspiring journey.
Warm regards,
Ahatsham

Welcome @Ahatsham0!
I'm so happy to introduce you into the Community. Here you are going to make great connections with other members, learn from them and get more knowledge about the hosting process.
I saw that you would like to start getting some tips and advice, what if you write a new post asking for a "Critique my listing". There's a lot of hosts willing to help new hosts like you.
Let me know if you need any help!
Best,
Alex

Hello, @Elisa,
I'm Photini, and I live in Cyprus, a beautiful island in the eastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea. Iโve been an Airbnb host since 2016, but this is my first time joining the Community Centre. I suppose I was just too busy until now!
Over the past nine years, Iโve had the pleasure of hosting guests from most parts of the world. Iโve learned a lot from these experiences and believe I have much to share with fellow hosts and even more to learn from them.
My accommodations are located in a small village in the northwestern part of Cyprus, two cosy cottages nestled in the heart of the village, right on the edge of the stunning Akamas National Park. Guests often visit the area to enjoy hiking through the parkโs natural beauty and to relax on the nearby beaches, all just a short distance away.

From what I can see, you have a lot of experience in hosting! That means we are going to learn a lot from you. ๐ญ
What's one of the most important things you would say you have learned over the years hosting different types of guests? ๐ก

Hello, @Alex ,
Thank you, Alex, for your comment. Over the years, Iโve gained valuable experience, and I'm always happy to share it to help newcomers succeed. Iโve hosted all kinds of guests, and one thing I've learned is that people are essentially the same everywhere. The main differences come from the cultural and family values they bring with them. Guests who are empathetic tend to be polite, respect the rules, and take care of the space entrusted to them. Others, unfortunately, sometimes take advantage of the fact that the property isnโt theirs and behave in ways they wouldnโt in their own homes. As owners, the best we can do is treat every guest with respect, make them feel welcome, and be available to support them whenever they need assistance, especially if they come from abroad and are not familiar with the local environment.
