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

[Sheldon67]

Hello everyone, 

My name is Sheldon and I am in Ardmore PA. I teach High School and enjoy it immensely. This is my first listing and I'm hoping to grow and learn as time goes on. 

The home is special because it was my grandparents home that I renovated and finally decided to let other enjoy. 

There is so much to do in and around the area of Ardmore PA. I want others to have that experience. 

I have what is a family friendly home. Enjoy my space like you would your own. 

Thanks. 

[Paula]

In our community, there's a fantastic board titled 👉Ask About Your Listing, where both new and experienced Hosts come together to share tips on enhancing their listings through 👉Critique My Listing threads. Would you be interested in joining this initiative?

ciao 

mi chiamo mariarosaria e con piacere mi presento.

Vivo a napoli e sono host dal 2019 nella mia città.

Oramai passione  esser host.

Sono contenta di far parte della community di Airbnb.

Sono nel mondo hr ed il rapporto con le persone, le nuove conoscenze, la conoscenza di altre culture oggi è il mio ossigeno.

Ho iniziato la mia esperienza airbnb a barcellona, ospite di stefania, italiana, ma che ha fatto dell'ospitalità una vera professione, ricordo le sue colazioni condivise con gli altri ospiti, una vera continental breakfast! .

Da li ho pensato di creare un annuncio ed oggi a distanza di 5 anni io ed i miei figli luigi e marco abbiamo sempre un gran piacere nel conoscere nuovi ospiti e nuove esperienze.

HI 

My name is Mariarosaria and I am pleased to introduce myself.

I live in Naples and have been a host since 2019 in my city.

It's now a passion   to be a host.

I'm happy to be part of the Airbnb community.

I am in the HR world and the relationship with people, new acquaintances, knowledge of other cultures today is my oxygen.

I started my airbnb experience in Barcelona, ​​guest of Stefania, Italian, but who made hospitality a real profession, I remember her breakfasts shared with the other guests, a real continental breakfast! .

From there I thought of creating an announcement and today, 5 years later, my sons Luigi and Marco and I still have great pleasure in meeting new guests and new experiences.

I've been an Airbnb Superhost for a little over a year. Our property is a 2 bedroom/2 bath condo with oversized garage (very useful in the winter months) near the ski resort of Winter Park. The Airbnb community has been awesome and simply wanted to say hello and wish everyone continued success realizing their goals and dreams.
