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 @Robyn553, 

The fact that the home will be 100 years old in 5 years is impressive! It must be such an honor to stay in a house with so many stories. I'm sure that you will learn many things in this Community. What are your interests in learning from other hosts? 🧠

[Sara10960]

Hey I am Sara.. I am a new Airbnb host based in Zurich Switzerland. I see all the local groups are on Facebook.. however I am not on fb. Is it ok for me to ask a question here? Do any one based in Zurich hosting on airbnb have recommendations for reliable cleaners including Linen rental services. I tried a few local cleaners but they are not good enough 😞

[Alex]

Hi @Sara10960!

Welcome to the Community! Of course, here you can ask for all you need. Other hosts will come and help you giving you good tips. How long have you been hosting? 

Also, in order to leave a question, I recommend you to start a new thread so active members can come to your thread and ask. This is your link to start a new conversation:new conversation. 👈

Let me know if you need any help!

Hi @Courtney739!

[Elizabeth3776]

My name is Elizabeth and I am from Snohomish, Washington! I have a STR in Chelan, WA and a MTR in Avondale, AZ. I am a mom of three adult men and I have two fur babies, Max and Millie. I am in business with my husband and we are growing our properties portfolio, slowly. We are thrilled to be a part of the Airbnb community but sometimes have a hard time navigating all of the tools and necessary info. I am going to be taking on a client as their property manager, soon, so just trying to get better at finding my way around, proficiently, so I don't waste too much time or miss important details! Thanks for your help and for this community!

[Alex]

Welcome, @Elizabeth3776!

From what I can read, you have a beautiful family! I also have a fur baby named Archie. 🐶

Sometimes it might be hard to find information, but with the help of all our hosts, you will be able to find all the information you need. What are your initial questions that you would like to ask? 🗣️

[Luke761]

Hello, my name is Luke and I live in the Buckeye state, OH-IO! I started hosting 6 years ago and have happily earned and maintained Superhost status during that time. I joined this group to engage with likeminded hosts and continue to learn on how to improve. 

[Alex]

Hello @Luke761!

Welcome to the Community! It's great to hear we have a Superhost among us! In which areas of hosting would you like to improve?

[Luke761]

Glad to be here, @Alex! I'm always looking for new ideas on how to increase occupancy throughout the year, and mainly connect/help others with their  journey as a host. I recently heard about co-hosting, and this seemed to be the best place to start learning about how to become one. 

[Janice684]

Hi this is Janice a superhost from FLorida😎  I've been hosting for 1 year in the (East) coastal town New Smyrna Beach. I have only 1 STR and am learning so much.  The year has started out great and now I need to fill rest of my calendar, the pricing is tricky. Thanks for inviting me to this group! 😊
