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

Hi @Elisa , I am managing myself mostly and enjoying the process to keep the guests happy and make them feel at home.

[Elisa]

Hi @Dorien25 😊, 

Thank you so much for letting me know!

How do you keep your guests happy? Would you like to share your secret here?

[Kelly2661]

Hi! I'm Kelly. I was born in Peru and have spent half of my life in Mexico — a country I now proudly call home as well. I love both of my countries deeply and feel grateful to be part of both cultures.

I currently live in Mexico City and I’m new to the Airbnb Community Center and the Airbnb hosting world. A few things about me: I’m passionate about traveling, meeting people from around the world, learning about new cultures, and trying new things — especially food! I also love sports and staying active.

[Rebecca]

Hi @Kelly2661, it's lovely to meet you and welcome to the Community Center. 

Sounds like you’ve got a great mix of cultures in your life! Peru and Mexico both have amazing food, so you must be spoilt for choice! Starting out in the Airbnb Community and as a host can be a bit of a whirlwind, but you’ll get the hang of it quickly. Have you had a look around at the content available for hosts here in the Community Center? I'd suggest starting off at the Host guides board. 

[Kelly2668]

Hi Everyone, I'm Kelly from Western Australia.

I am a new host (only 5 months) so super excited to have reached Superhost status. 

The property is a  charming 1904 Victorian Townhouse close to the city with plenty of parking so it is going very well for bookings. 

[Rebecca]

Hi @Kelly2668 👋

Great to meet you and have you here on the Community Center with us! Your townhouse home sounds wonderful.  Five months in and you’re already a Superhost 😍 How have you found managing bookings so far? 

[Sunny-Stayz0]

Hi everyone! My name is Sunny, and I host several thoughtfully designed short-term rentals here in the States.

What sets my listings apart is the attention to detail sparkling-clean spaces, well-stocked amenities, and a personalized guest experience that makes every stay easy, relaxing, and memorable. My goal is for every guest to feel like they’re visiting a friend who happens to have impeccable taste in interiors.

[Rebecca]

Hi @Sunny-Stayz0 👋

Welcome to the Community Center! It's great to read that you put a lot of care into your places. Guests must love all those little touches. 😍 Is there one amenity you’ve found guests appreciate the most? 

[Sunny-Stayz0]

Hello Rebecca, nice to meet you. The amenity my guests seemed to favor the most was the mini shampoos and conditioners, as well as the small snacks

[Rebecca]

Hi @Sunny-Stayz0 - Mini shampoos, conditioners and snacks sound perfect. People do love the little extras. 

Quick tip: if you type "@" and then the username, this will tag the member that you're replying to. 

[Sunny-Stayz0]

Yes def @Rebecca ! I also found it helpful to print out QR codes for guest to connect to the wifi 

[Rebecca]

Such a great idea!!
