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. I am Vee from South Africa.  I offer pet friendly, beachfront accommodation on the lower south coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal and Wild Coast. My husband and I semi retired in 2022 and left the hectic lifestyle of Johannesburg to settle in this quiet, peaceful region.

We enjoy long walks on the beach with our Border Collie. You will often find us on the beach with bags picking up plastic and other rubbish that get washed up on the beach. I am also an avid reader and keen gardener. We love entertaining and meeting new people. I am Indian and my husband is German and we've been married for 31 years. 

[Rebecca]

Hi @Vee455 👋

It's great to meet you and a huge welcome to the Community Center! It sounds so perfect and great to escape the chaos! I too have a border collie and live near the beach so I fully understand how important it is to protect our beaches and seas, so a huge well done to you for taking that initiative! 🙌 

This week we're celebrating with the online Festival of Sustainability that I'm sure you'd love to have a look at! 

Happy Earth Day! 🌍

Hi all you beautiful Air BNB Hosts. 

I am from Launceston Tasmania, we are in a very beautiful part of the world, our city is built around the Cataract Gorge which is absolutely stunning. I have been hosting 2 and half years and love it. I have now started an Air BNB Linen service also as I found as a host this was a big part of the work load that was hard to outsource where you can find quality linen and a quality service. I truly love Hosting. I love bike riding, road or mountain bikes, love family time and love learning more about property and property investments.

[Rebecca]

Welcome to the Community Center @Angela3950 🎉

It's great to have you here! We can't wait to see the valuable information you share with other Hosts! 

See you around! 😊

Hello @Adi-Situmorang0, thanks so much for your presentation.
