Hello everyone! 😊

Welcome to the Community Center! 👋  I'm @Bhumika , one of the Community Managers for our English Community Center along with my lovely team members @Quincy @Paula @Rebecca @Elisa @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 6+ 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. 🥘

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,

Bhumika

Hello! I'm Kannan S, hailing from the picturesque French colonial heritage city of Pondicherry, India 🇮🇳. My roots are deeply embedded in the beauty of nature and the thrill of exploration. I have an ardent passion for gardening, cooking, and roaming, coupled with a zeal for rifle shooting and a commitment to forest and animal conservation. My hobbies are a reflection of my love for the environment and a desire to preserve its beauty for generations to come. Whether I'm tending to my garden, experimenting with flavors in the kitchen, or advocating for wildlife, every activity is a step towards my journey of exploration and conservation. Join me as I navigate the complexities of nature and culture, one adventure at a time!

Hi I'm Tracy I'm from Plettenberg Bay on the garden route in South Africa. It's a beautiful coastal town with world accredited beaches , a whale Heritage site , plus many other activities.  I've really enjoyed hosting the last couple of years.   I do find navigating the airbnb app challenging at times.  I love traveling,  meeting new people and learning new cultures. 

[Sophia]

Hello @Tracy1070 from the UK! 🇬🇧 I've always wanted to visit South Africa, there seems to be a lot of activities and sights to see! 😍

I am new to the Airbnb host community from the Zirakpur, Mohali, Chandigarh, India area. I love traveling, driving, photography, and food. I have been to Vancouver once for work purposes. I have mostly traveled within India and plan to visit many more countries. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain hiking. By profession, I work in an MNC in India as a Product Owner. I live with my wife and two boys.

Hi @Ashwani9, Welcome! 🎉 I also love travelling and I am a big foodie too! 😎 
How did you find Vancouver when you visited? Did you enjoy yourself even though it was for work!

Greetings from the USA! 🇺🇸 

My name is Amy! I’m excited to be given the opportunity to purchase and host a lakefront property in Conroe, Texas! Hosting runs through my veins and comes naturally! It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’m extremely grateful. A little about me… I live in Texas, I love and breed Persian cats, and I love to travel!
