Spotter since 2023
Hi! My name is Isidore and I was born and raised in Amsterdam. I have always been a curious person so I decided to make it my job! I am a journalist for a Dutch broadcaster and I make shows about breaking stigmas and about topics that are important in today's society. As a journalist, I also LOVE writing a lot. I have written down everything about my travels, I write poetry and now I write about the most beautiful city in the world: Amsterdam!
Why Amsterdam?
Amsterdam is very special in many ways. People get around on bikes and bicycles create a certain freedom in getting around. Not only that: the architecture is very special and the buildings have a lot of history. And lastly, Amsterdam is known for many historic icons such as Heineken, Anne Frank, and Rembrandt. But not only is the city special in these aspects: Amsterdam has a special place in my heart. The city is small enough to give the safe and familiar feeling of a village, but I also like that you can be anonymous on the street as well. I love that I can go to museums, the theater, have some coffee and also have enough access to green spaces. Amsterdam is so kind, I hope everyone will experience it like that when they visit.
Because it is not known as a place where lots of people work, it is actually a very nice place to work from remotely. And the staff is always so nice!

The owners are one of the nicest people you will ever meet and they know everybody from the neighborhood. And our former Queen even bought her nuts here!

White Label Coffee is a roastery and a coffee place with a really cool interior. They make their own blends that you can buy here as well.

Gieta makes the best Roti - a mix of potatoes, green beans, and chicken/tempé that you roll into a pancake. It may sound strange but it is amazing!

This movie theater shows movies you don't see every day and sometimes they choose a director whose movies they then show. Wes Anderson month for example.
