What does it mean to be a Spotter?
Who can tell it better than:
What do we do?
“What makes Spotted by Locals different is that we’re redefining tourism in a city. We’re breaking out of the main street tourism borders, going off the beaten track, and discovering hidden gems. It makes you feel like you’ve found something secret and special.”
Being part of the community
“It’s great to be part of the Spotters community because you meet a lot of other people as well who have the same interests, who also want to have a look into somebody else’s culture, who want to open up their culture and help you experience their culture.”
What does a Spotter do?
“I leave breadcrumbs around the city where people can locate the places I like. I send people a 150-word review with a picture, so they can go and experience the city as I do.”
