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

Hi @Sophia ,

Much appreciate the invite to the Community.

I'm New to Airbnb Hosting an Apartment with City/Bay views in Sydney, Australia.

My passion follows traveling & food, and a love for the ocean(especially scuba diving). Also if you're talking about cricket and golf for sports , you'll definitely get me interested.

Professionally I'm a qualified and licensed Mortgage Broker In Financial Services.

I'd prefer bookings for travel professionals from overseas and within Australia(Interstate & Regional), and long-term Vacationers. 

Thank You!

I've heard great things about Oxford! I visited a couple of months ago but never really got to explore, I hope my next visit I get the chance to take in the sights 😊. How is your Hosting journey going so far?

[Melanie1220]

Hallo,

ich bin Melanie aus der schönen Region rund um den Rhein und die Ahr (20km von Bonn, 40km von Köln und 40 km zum Nürburgring). Ich liebe meine Heimat,  von hier ist man schnell in der Natur (Eifel), aber auch schnell in den Nachbarländern  Holland, Belgien oder Luxemburg.

Ich bin seit Juni Gastgeber über airbnb, aber heute zum ersten Mal intensiv in der Community am stöbern. 

Ich habe vor vier Jahren meine Leidenschaft Motorradfahren entdeckt und habe seitdem sehr viele schöne Ecken in meiner Umgebung entdeckt, die sogar ich nicht kannte. 

Gastgeberin zu sein ist ebenfalls eine Leidenschaft, den ich habe einige Jahre in der Gastronomie gearbeitet und bin hauptberuflich Köchin, war aber mehr Jahre im Service tätig. 

Es freut mich Teil dieser Community sein zu dürfen.
