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

Hello. My name is Jonny, and I am living at the countryside in the northwestern part of Norway. Running a sheepfarm, and resently bought an authentic farm in my neighbourhood. Our local community have been hosting deerehunters for twentyfive years, and lately I joined the Airbnb, and now the old house on this farm have been visited by guests from all over the world. The place is located about 100m above the fjord, and facing south for a nice mountain view, and to west for the sunset and the open fjord.

The farmhouse and the barn has been abandoned for some years, and is in a state of "work in progress". Still we invite guests for a stay, and to explore this part of my country. 

Nice to "meet" you all. 🙂

Hi @Jonny119 😊, 

Welcome to the community center, and thank you for sharing this here!

Your farm sounds amazing 😍.

Are you managing everything by yourself, or is someone helping you?

Warm regards 🌻,

Hi.

I have a great family and helpfull neighbors, to lean on when I need to. Without these people, it would be hard to handle everything by my self. And function in what I believe is the best job in the world 🙂

Hello all. I am from Cyprus and I have been living in Ireland for the last 7 years. I have started airbnb my place in Larnaca, Cyprus almost a month ago. On my free time, I love spending time with my friends, travelling, reading science and searching for new ideas to improve my apartment and support my guests. 

[Elisa]

Hi @Marinos8 😊, 

Welcome to the Community Center!

How is everything going in Ireland so far? Do you like the country?
And if you're not living there, who’s helping you manage the Airbnb?

Warm regards 🌻,

[Marinos8]

Hello Elisa,

Yes, I do like Ireland. It's nice. 

My brother and a cleaner is helping me with the airbnb in Larnaca, Cyprus.

Hello and good morning from sunny South Devon in the west coast of the United Kingdom. 

My husband and I were born and raised here. From a military background we both chose to stay in the same area that we raised our three grown up children in. We love it here and that's why we wanted to share this area with the world. The family beaches, Dartmoor and Exmoor for long walks in fantastic scenery. Safe and friendly for families and an ideal location to retire are all pluses for our area. 

We both love travelling and meeting new people and have visited many places but have so many more on our bucket list. 

Great to be here. 

Anita.
