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

Hello Airbnb Host Community,

I'm Ahatsham Zaidi from New Delhi, India, and I'm excited to join this amazing community of hosts!

I’ve just listed my 1 BHK apartment in Malviya Nagar and am looking forward to hosting guests from around the world. As a new host, I’m here to learn, grow, and share experiences with fellow hosts who have been in the game longer.

Any tips on getting those first few bookings, ensuring guest satisfaction, or managing things smoothly as a solo host would be truly appreciated!

Looking forward to connecting with you all and being part of this inspiring journey.

Warm regards,
Ahatsham

Welcome @Ahatsham0!

I'm so happy to introduce you into the Community. Here you are going to make great connections with other members, learn from them and get more knowledge about the hosting process. 

I saw that you would like to start getting some tips and advice, what if you write a new post asking for a "Critique my listing". There's a lot of hosts willing to help new hosts like you. 

Let me know if you need any help! 

Best, 

Alex

Hello, @Elisa,

I'm Photini, and I live in Cyprus, a beautiful island in the eastern corner of the Mediterranean Sea. I’ve been an Airbnb host since 2016, but this is my first time joining the Community Centre. I suppose I was just too busy until now!

Over the past nine years, I’ve had the pleasure of hosting guests from most parts of the world. I’ve learned a lot from these experiences and believe I have much to share with fellow hosts and even more to learn from them.

My accommodations are located in a small village in the northwestern part of Cyprus, two cosy cottages nestled in the heart of the village, right on the edge of the stunning Akamas National Park. Guests often visit the area to enjoy hiking through the park’s natural beauty and to relax on the nearby beaches, all just a short distance away.
