7 Amazing Things To Eat In Brussels
Brussels has a bamboozling mix of restaurants, food markets and fine dining haunts that are dotted around this amazing city. With so many choices, I asked locals like my friend Pierre Pevée, whom I meet through European Creative Hubs Network and Jean-Alexis Spitz, a fellow blogger from Spark.Me, and found some favorite things that are worthy of eating while you are in Brussels, Belgium. #1. Belgian Frites from Maison Antoine. I had heard a lot about Belgium fries, but are they really different from French fries? YES! Belgium frites are made with Bintje potatoes that are double fried.

Here are four things to consider if you and your family are considering moving overseas. #1. FOMO. Suffering from fear of missing out. As…

Eight Road Trip Tips
This weekend, my daughter and I are getting ready to take a road trip through a few countries. That’s the great thing about living in Europe, how small and close countries are to each other. What do you define as a “road trip”? For me, anything longer than 8 hours constitutes a road trip. 🙂 I LOVE road trips. Throughout my childhood, my family took TONS of them, and I looked forward to them every time. Of course not all of our road trips went smoothly. I mean, my brother got carsick, we would get lost, tire would blowout, etc., but let’s not focus on the negative. 😉 As we…
