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 @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! 🙌 

@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 Monique and I am from Canada 🇨🇦. I have been with AirBNB for approx 2 years now. My husband and I have a few rental properties and we hope to dabble a bit more in Real Estate once retired. We are campers 🏕 and are looking forward to traveling around North America in our camper once we are able.

I look forward to reading more about your hosting experience in the community.

[Paula]

Hello @Martha-Jetty0, it is great to have you in the community.

Were you also hosting in the Philippines and West Africa?

Regards,

[Martha-Jetty0]

@Paula No in the Caribean I had a big sailingboat to sail around the Island wirh tourists. In the Philipinnes I build an hospital and West Africa, I did nothing. Went back to Europe very fast

[Paula]

What an incredible journey, @Martha-Jetty0 thank you for sharing! Where exactly in West Africa did you build the hospital?

[Martha-Jetty0]

@Paula I build a hospital in the Philipinnes on a small Island called Marinduque. There was no medical institute at all there so with crowd funding I managed to build a klinik.
