Emails received from Spotters <3

We received some very heart-warming emails from Spotters during the COVID-19 crisis…

“Dark times will arise, of course, but if there was a time in our recent history to show that values such as empathy, sharing resources, help the neighbour and this of us as a true collective society instead of a bunch of individuals just sharing the same space…it’s now! And you guys have built a community that mostly thrives on that way of thinking and living.”

“I can’t wait to see you guys. Probably not this year, but I am sure we’ll meet again. In these times Spotted by Locals is more visionary than ever. Remember that!”

“Thanks very much for your thoughtful message. It means a lot to me to receive such consideration at the moment! I’m really admirative of what you’ve done with Spotted by Locals, and I am totally in phase with your ideas on tourism. I’m convinced that the world will change after this ‘crisis’, and it will move in your direction. Tourism and travel will be different – slower, more local, more sustainable, and Spotted by Locals will have a big role to play.”

“Now more than ever, I miss being around people from the big Spotted by Locals family. As soon as the clouds clear, be prepared for a rush of photos from spotters meeting each other around the world!”

“It’s nice to get such a message from you! Please be assured: the Spotters community you started is the most wonderful thing ever. So I’m in and in support whatever happens to this ill world! Please let me know if I can do something!”

“It is truly awesome to receive such an email from you guys and definitely the reason why I never even considered leaving Spotted by Locals, a community of people I highly value :) I hope the Dutch government knows how precious Spotted by Locals is! I need you too!!! :)”

“Thanks for your message. It’s cheered me up. I’m with you, we are connected by this special big feeling about travelling, about how tourism might be in the future, we have same dreams.”

“Throughout my entire time as a part of the Spotter family thus far, I have cherished the love and support provided (from a far ;)) and am incredibly proud to be a part of such a group. During these difficult times, it’s through these types of emails and communications that instill confidence of better days soon to come. I cannot thank you both enough.”

“I hope that when travel restrictions are lifted, we don’t all flood back to the Eiffel Tower and the Colosseum. It would be nice to see the tourism industry spread out a bit more, and I think all places that have even the smallest collection of things to see, do, eat and drink are going to need it! So I certainly believe that Spotted by Locals has a place in the new-look, post-corona world.”
