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

Hello there everyone! Adrian here.

My wife Claudia and I are a Chilean couple and have been on the platform for over a year. We´ve loved the experience for short term rentals, since both of us have our apartments here.

We would love to learn more.

Greeting from Chile.

Hello team,

It has been my pleasure to be a host for seven years. I have hosted in Quebec and now hosting in Newfoundland. I I do like to offer sustainable living for my guests. Paint is low VOC and floors are coated in a water based finish. Cleaning supplies are all eco-friendly and sheets and linens are mostly cotton or bamboo. 
Even shampoo and shower wash are eco-friendly as well as wool dryer balls with essential oil drops.

I enjoy the interactions with guests from all over the world. I speak English and French fluently, and a little bit of Spanish, and found that the surprise when I can converse. 
It’s great to have a community to share with.

Thanks

Kerilee🏡

Hey everyone, I'm Dom, and I rent a property in Lytham St Annes. I'm currently remortaging the property and need a 'Holiday Rental Income Letter' that shows estimated weekly rental income for my property in low, mid, high season. Anyone know where/how to get this?
