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  and @Sophia 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 🏔.

@Sophia : Born and bred in the UK 🇬🇧 but my roots are Bangladeshi 🇧🇩. I love cats 🐱, enjoy eating crisps (also known as chips) and enjoy baking 🍪. I also love travelling ✈️  I have worked in Community ever since I graduated and to put it lightly, people are my passion! 💖

@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! 🙌 

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 dear Airbnb Community,

I'm from France, our airbnb is located in Corsica, Porto-Vecchio. Corsica is called l'île de beauté (the beauty island). We've bought the villa 2 years ago and are happy to achieve the Superhost status. Corsica is as famous as the birthplace of Napoléon Bonaparte. It is a popular holiday destination among tourists, best known for it's beautiful beaches, warm climate, dramatic mountain peaks and stunning coastlines.

I love to play basketball, and to golf around the world. Since my early childhood, my family used to travel a lot, so I'm privileged to speak 4 languages.

Looking forward to learn a lot from the airbnb community.

Cheers,

Georges

Hello all!

I'm from Boston, MA, USA and have been hosting for a couple years with my wife. Then I recently just started hosting with my own profile for clients a few months ago as my new career. Looking forward to meeting more like minded hosts, learning about new and efficient ways to operate and basically just enjoying what we do. 

[Baltina0]

Hello and what a wonderful community. My name is Baltina and my husband Matt and I host in our recently remodeled ADU that is on our property nestled in the woods of the beautiful Pacific Northwest here in the states. We are located 2 miles from world class mountain biking, a lake and the beautiful Mount Baker is only about a 45min drive door to mountain. 

Our property features a few fun things such as our minature horse Maggy & we recently added a flock of chickens to out property to provide fresh eggs for guests and our family.  We are so excited to be a part of this community and we look forward to learning more tips and tricks. Have enjoyed reading so many great introductions from all over the world already!!!

@Sophia  Yes, Sophia， I just traveling back to China  in January and returning to Toronto in March.  Really wanted to stay longer because  I have family members there and life in China is more relax and convenient, especially the food which you can not  have it here.

I grow cucumber, hot pepper,  eggplant, tomato,  winter melon， and other green leaves veggie.  Hope my guest was like all these plants.

Hi, I am Sutha; I live in Southeast London(Croydon). I am looking to

co- host/ property management opportunities. Any guidance or help to achieve this I would appreciate. 

[Per-Kuttainen-Ylimattila0]

Hello!/ Terve!

I`m Per and I`m a gardener by profession, but retired almost 3 years ago.

I started to rent out my log-cottage in March 2020, unaware of the coming "disaster", two days before Norway closed down because of the Corona-pandemic, so the first year I had few guests.

From 2022 I have had an increased number of foreign guests and a significant decrease

of Norwegian guests.

My log-cottage is situated in the Lyngen Alps area east of my hometown of Tromsoe, in the northern part of Norway. 2/3 of it was built in the years 1912-1914 and in 2012-2013 I built a modern extension with details from the old part.

The winter is a busy time with mainly people coming to conquer the many mountains in the Alps, people climbing in frozen waterfalls or just coming here to relax, breath the clean air and just be.

My part of Norway is the meeting place of several groups of people, 3 of them are from a historical point of view the Kvääni-Finnish, the Sami and the Norwegians.
