Cityblog by locals reveals Rotterdam's hidden spots

Welcome visit Our WebSite:

http://www.spottedbylocals.com

On all of its 22 cityblogs local residents write about their favorite spots in their city. All bloggers ("Spotters") are selected only after a personal interview in the city they live in. Only writers that have lived in the city for at least a few years, speak the local language, and are motivated by sharing the love of their city, are selected. All Spotters are prominently displayed on the cityblogs with their real names, a picture and a personal profile.

The Rotterdam cityblog is the first English-language group-authored cityblog by Rotterdam residents. Spotters Anne-Marie and Renia , Frederik, Marianne, Marieke, Marcel, Renia and Vytautas write about hidden local spots tourists would usually not visit or notice: a kiteshop, public space art pieces, a very Rotterdam harbor pub and the best place to enjoy live music. Visitors to this very creative and interesting city in the Netherlands will not be disappointed!
