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

Hi All,

Thanks for letting me join the community.  I've been with AirBnB for a few years now with an apartment in Portugal.  Only just stumbled across the community as I was searching for something my accountants had requested.  Seems like I stumbled into something good ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks ~J

Hello and thank you for welcoming me and my wife as we begin our journey as hosts of an Airbnb. We are from New Jersey and 15 minutes from New York City, Manhattan.

we decided to start an Airbnb because we donโ€™t like long-term leases with the high probability. A judge will refuse to get people out when they become unruly or failed to pay their rent. Weโ€™re looking forward to having enjoyable context with our guests and even offer to show them the area if they donโ€™t know the area and we also Provide pet sitting and if necessary.

Hi @Thomas4282 ๐Ÿ˜Š

Welcome to the Community Center!


Iโ€™m glad you found a solution that reassures you about renting with Airbnb.

Are you getting bookings at the moment? Howโ€™s the season going for you?

 

Warm regards ๐ŸŒป,

unfortunately, that is not the fact I did not find a solution and unfortunately, my phone calls going to India are not gonna correct the problem or give me solutions. The people who answered the phone calls from India never addressed the issue and give you hollow promises that theyโ€™re going to correct it. along with the problems that I have experienced the site has severe IT problems because many times when youโ€™re trying to get to the main site for hosting to review your messages, you can never get back to that part of the website and then when you do you send messages to the people and then they never receive the messages you send them because they keep claiming that they are going to show up for their reservation when the reservation was declined because of a previous booking. This is a sad reality that unfortunately will become a massive issue for hosting my apartment through Airbnb

Aloha Elisa and thank you for letting me join the community. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from the other members.

My husband and I spend 5 winter months in Mฤui, HI and the rest of the year in San Jose, CA or travelling. 

I  am looking forward to getting bookings in our condo when we are not here and are trying to figure out how to make that happen.

Hi Elisa and Team ...

 

We are a party of three, two of them retired: my spouse, Jan (also a Host), Sofie (our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel), and I, Ron. Although I was born in Belgium, I have lived in several other places, most recently in California, US. We have a home in Corona del Mar (a suburb of Newport Beach), a home in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico, and a home in the Commune of Gaiole in Chianty, Tuscany, Italy. We travel a lot, and I love to cook. I love exploring markets for local food items and preparing meals that are prevalent in the region. We love exploring places with unique architecture, art, and music. We read mostly non-fiction literature to learn and grow.

Hello @Ron12012

 

Welcome to the Community! ๐Ÿค—

 
I see you have 2 listings in two different parts of the world. How do you manage both of them?
Also, I see you love to cook! What's your favourite dish to cook? ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ
 

 

Best, 

Alex

Hi @Ron12012 ๐Ÿ˜Š,

Itโ€™s a pleasure to meet you! Your lifestyle sounds absolutely inspiringโ€”such a beautiful mix of travel, culture, and meaningful experiences. With homes in California, Mexico, and Tuscany, I can only imagine the incredible memories and meals youโ€™ve created along the way!

Your passion for cooking and exploring local markets really stood out to meโ€”thereโ€™s something so special about connecting to a place through its food. Iโ€™d love to hear what your favorite dish is to prepare, especially when youโ€™re in Tuscany or San Miguel de Allende!

Also, managing multiple properties across the globe is impressive. Iโ€™m sure many of us in the community would love to learn from how you make it all work so smoothly.

Looking forward to learning from your journey and sharing more together in this community!
