"The home is where the heart is"

Talks and tales about exotic destinations and far away countries have always enchanted and inspired people, but caught up in dreams of adventures, we cease to see the inspiration lying in front of us.


The grass is not always greener on the other side, but it always feels like it is. If we would open our eyes and look down at the grass under our feet, we could try to appreciate it and eventually see it from another point of view.


In all of my dreams of traveling and seeing the world I sometimes forget to see and appreciate my own country and the beauty it beholds. And there is beauty alright, if we look carefully, we can see it peeking around every corner. 


Today Belgium has become a surrealistic state to many. A small country with only 10 million people, 3 language groups, lacking a government for over a year, but with an abundance of arguing politicians. While representing the heart of Europe, Belgians have never had more problems representing themselves. But luckily for us, Belgians, surrealism has always been a very interesting, creative and intelligent art movement offering a different point of view on reality and in many ways Belgium is just that: a small, complicated state struggling to stay united, but in all of its differences lies the source of the creativity found in this modest country. The belgian soil might be wet and hard to manage, but its very fertile: Belgium, home of great intelligent minds, of famous creative hands, of wonderful musical voices, of many culinary pleasures, of enlightening alcoholic beverages,... A country full of traditions, but with an eye on the future. 


Come and join me on the magical journey through my homeland and learn to discover the beauties it holds!

Under these grey skies, in this grim ground lies the birthplace of great things
