This was a very special trip. Even if only for 10 days. I spent 2 or 3 nights in the 4 locations below. And took trains and buses and taxis everywhere in between. Even though there where many strikes in many of these places, I managed quite well to keep my timeline and days as planned.

These 10 days felt like a month. It was a truly growing experience, especially while travelling for the most part, alone. I spent time exchanging with other colleagues, and distant family, but as well spending so much time with myself. I learned so much about other cultures and languages ( 5 were spoken within it these 2 countries ) and spent so much time contemplating life and death.

There was good beer ( even alcohol free!) Endless frites, and croquettes, and dark chocolate. There was rain, lots of rain. Plus snow & wind and sleet and everything in between. Thank You March! Thankfully I also had 2 gorgeous days of sun that felt like a godsend in these cold and dreary grey days. It is hard to put into words all that I have to say and experienced in these days, so I will just let the images below speak for themself. Happy Browsing!
