Spotter since 2016
About me
My Name is Stefano and I'm Italian.
I moved to Warsaw in 2008 and now work as a Spanish teacher in an international school.
I'm passionate about travels, music, movies, cycling and books and I like to experiment with new things and meet new people.
Since I moved, I've been participating in the cultural and social life of the city, meeting people that think about the sustainable development of Europe, and have joined the discussion about the acceptance of Others.
I signed up for the Spotted by Locals network because I would like to share my interests and my point of view of Warsaw with other people.
Why Warsaw?
8 years can be a long time, definitely not enough to learn perfect Polish (I'm still struggling) but enough to communicate and have chats with locals.
I love the Warsaw mood; even when the sky is grey, it's possible to find great people and great spots that brighten your life.
I would like to share my knowledge of the city with locals and other visitors, since Warsaw is changing quite quickly, and offer an unknown pleasure for every taste.
Where can you find me online?
"Pardon To Tu" in Warsaw has always made me feel like home, maybe because of the music or the view. They change locations often, but all else is the same!

"NIEBO/RAJ" in Warsaw is the combination of one of the city's best alternative concert venues together with a great Hawaiian restaurant!

"Paloma and Wisla" is a cafe/bar at the riverside in the Museum of Modern Art. It's made Warsaw comparable to other capitals with beautiful riversides...

"Żoliborz" is a street art heaven of a quarter. It's 15 minutes from central Warsaw, but that's nothing, right? Check out the award-winning David Bowie.

"MDM" in Warsaw is one of the fascinating socio-realist building that were built in the '50s. Locals find them unattractive -- I think they're fascinating.

"Karma" cafe in is not only about coffee. I like the exhibitions they host even more. Karma is located on "Plac Zbawiciela", the hipster square of Warsaw.

Warsaw's Mokotow district can be fun for street art lovers. Specifically, close to Pulawska street where graffiti is coloring the gray communist walls...
