Our Heroes: Pioneer Spotters since 2008!

In 2008 Spotted by Locals founders Sanne & Bart quit our jobs to start Spotted by Locals. Our first mission: find Spotters in 20 big European cities. So we hit the road in our trustworthy but old Opel Astra, and drove from Amsterdam to 17 European capitals – plus Geneva & Hamburg:

1. Antwerp
2. Brussels
3. Paris
4. Barcelona
5. Lisbon
6. Madrid
7. Geneva
8. London
9. Rome
10. Milan
11. Zagreb
12. Ljubljana
13. Vienna
14. Budapest
15. Prague
16. Berlin
17. Hamburg
18. Copenhagen
19. Stockholm

When we started Spotted by Locals, we had nothing but our words to convince potential Spotters of our concept. We sincerely want to thank the pioneer Spotters who believed in us, and started this great adventure with us in 2008:

• Gisela Clarke, Amsterdam. Now Spotter in Rotterdam!
• Bill Sinclair, Barcelona
• Rafael Dujarric, Barcelona. Now Spotter in Berlin!
• Ianthe Lancsweert, Brussels
• Renata Riva, Brussels
• Kyra Garske, Hamburg
• Erik Lassche, Lisbon
• Jost Derlink, Ljubljana
• Tjasa Janovljak, Ljubljana
• Nikolina Demark, Zagreb. Now Spotter in Rijeka!
