Welcome to Episode 5 where Anna is trying to convince me to go back to Brussels. After visiting the city few years ago I wasn't charmed but Anna did her best! We talked about food, travels, beer soups, diamonds and chocolate! 💎

Come and discover it with me!"
Places to visit (apart from the main cities):
