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 @Hecasa-Apartments0! 🤗

From what I can see, you love traveling and watching movies, which are two of my favourite hobbies too! ✈️ I'm curious to know, what's your favourite place among those you've visited?

Also, what’s your favourite movie genre? 🎥

Hello! my name is Irma, I'm from Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico. But I live in Puerto Vallarta since 5 years ago. I've been hosting in this platform for about 9 years. I'm an animal, nature, photography, sports, traveler, food lover person. I usually spend my free time doing some exercise or in nature with my pets.

Hi Everyone! My name is Rawad - I grew up in Vienna, studied in Paris, and moved to Mexico not too long ago! I love all sports, but particularly basketball, tennis, climbing, and anything related to the sea 🙂  I'm new to hosting, so any tips would be appreciated!

[Alex]

Hello @Rawad7! 🤗

Welcome to the Community Center! From what I can see, you love traveling! How did you end up in Mexico? 🧳 Do you follow the NBA? I'm really excited to see who wins the finals this year!

[Rawad7]

Hello! I'm Brian, originally from Trinidad and now living in the U.S.

I'm  proud to assist my dad in running our family guesthouse, Located in the beautiful hills of Maraval,

Trinidad .We've been hosting guests for over 18 years, and now, with the help of Airbnb, we're excited 

to share our home and hospitality with a wider community. Weather you're visiting for relaxation, culture,

or adventure, we look forward to making your stay comfortable and memorable. 

[Rebecca]

Hello @Brian3625 👋

Welcome to the Community Center! It's great to have you here with us. 😊

Are you brand new to Airbnb but have 18 years hosting experience? Maraval sounds wonderful. Trinidad is on my bucket list!

A beautiful and diverse world. One of the most beautiful moments in this short life is joining this royal club. Yes, it is royal, because everyone has the right to hospitality, generosity, luxury, quality, pleasure, a love of serving people, and friendliness. The most beautiful thing is that generosity doesn't end with providing services, but rather continues to reach the stage of customer satisfaction. Therefore, it is the club of kings, and the king's goal is to seek the happiness of the people....

I studied dentistry, but I am a failed doctor!!

I love technology. I believe that if technology had existed 500 years ago, we would now be eating McDonald's burgers in the form of meat-flavored pills.

I love life - I love the earth - I fear the oceans - I am not afraid of death.

I always dream of leaving a mark before I leave this world. I don't wish for it to be a negative carbon footprint on the environment!! My wish is for it to be a mark of goodness, benefit, environmentally friendly, different, innovative, sustainable, and ongoing. And there's no harm in it being profitable and changing my life for the better and more beautiful!!

 I'm a positive, loving person, but I also love change, hate routine, and am organized.

I love these phrases... they come from my experience!!!

- Ideas without experience... are worthless!!

- Great ideas, like great leaders, change the world for the better.

- The beginning... was an idea!! Walking on the moon was an idea!!

- An idea is the foundation of any successful business, especially if it's a solution to a problem.

- What may be a burden to some!! is an opportunity for others!!

Here are some personal facts about me 🤗

I work as an executive director for a company that has chosen Düsseldorf as its headquarters. Of course, I'm from one of the most challenging and historically advanced regions in the world. I'm from the Middle East, immigrated to Sweden, and now work in Germany. This residence is a lovely boutique hotel located in Germany, but it's managed by my relative, Mr. Suhail. I participate and help him manage this lovely residence nestled in the enchanting German nature. That's all 🙏🌹🙈❤
