Solo trip to Brussels! I've been having the best time solo traveling lately and I really hope you enjoy the vlogs. Brussels was beautiful and, in my opinion, is a great place for solo travellers. I felt safe and comfortable and everyone was really friendly and welcoming. As I said in the video I kind of randomly picked Brussels and it wasn’t somewhere I’d always dreamed of going, but I’m really glad I went. Below are some of my recommendations of things I did and enjoyed.
I’m planning to do a sit down video taking all about solo travel, so if you have any questions or topics you’d like me to cover, please let me know!

Food places
-Batavia - Indonesian Cafe
-Fin de Sciele - Traditional Belgian Food
-Maison Antoine - Frites
-Chocolaterie Mary - Chocolate
-Mussel Mongers - seafood, but I only had cheese croquetts
-Foocha - Asian Canteen & bubble tea
Areas in Brussels:
Freedom Quarter - where My Little Cup is. Seemed more quiet and residential when I was there, but I was only there briefly.
Dansaert - trendy area with lots of restaurants
Sablon - I didn’t actually go there, but I read good things and it’s apparently the most luxurious area in Brussels

Next time you go in Belgium, I strongly recommend Antwerp. It’s amazingly vibrant.

@JackieBaisa 27 дней назад

I second this. It's an underrated gem. And easy to get from Antwerp to either the Netherlands, Ghent or Bruges, Brussels, or Wallonia, so optimally located. And the have arguably the best/prettiest train station in Europe. It's unbelievably grand and opulent.

I have been doing solo travel before Covid and I totally agreed about how you it feels at first and being anxious about what ppl think of you by yourself but slowly you get to understand that nobody cares and you just need to enjoy yourself :)

I'm going to Brussels (among other places) on a solo trip this summer, so this was really perfect!

Brussel is for tourists that don’t know what to. Brussel is stupid. And belgium people don’t go there

Great video. I’m heading back to Brussels in April, really enjoyed my time there, traveling solo as well. Was there last year, and missed a few things. Didn’t get a chance to go to that frittes place (Maison Antoine) last time, so will go this time! Brussels has some amazing Art Nouveau buildings by Victor Horta and others (Victor Horta museum too). Definitely worth going to see on your next trip.

hi! i'm also going solo to brussels this summer 💛your vlog simply makes me want august to come sooner!

@moremoola Год назад

Great video. I was trying to figure out where you're actually from. I figure somewhere on the west coast... Exploring new cities absolutely rocks and you just reminded me how great it is to travel through Europe!

@JackieBaisa 27 дней назад

I am traveling solo to Brussels this coming weekend, so catching your vlog was timely! Thank you! (And I have ZERO inhibitions about dining solo. No one gives a sh*t haha.) Although I have tons of friends, family, and a partner, I am still an introvert and still LOVE to travel alone, and people just accept that about me, lol.

@samesta5695 2 месяца назад

Thank you so much for this. I’m going to London alone next month and a day in Brussels.

@beesiva6083 Год назад

I love this and your Florence video. I went to a few of the places you recommended on there. Like you mentioned, I found dining alone so hard, and constantly struggled with what others may think of me. It was exhausting!I definitely need to work on that!

@emily_meadows Год назад

Thank you! I know the feeling and it’s easier said that done not to care, but I think the more you do it the more comfortable it gets. Good luck!

@smit5590 Год назад

Belgium is such a gorgeous and unique country. 🇧🇪 Stunning architecture, vibrant colours, and beautiful language. You seem so optimistic and kind. 😊♥️

My family is coming to visit me in Brussels in a couple of months and I've been watching videos of people first coming to the city because I want to see interesting places are shown that I might not know hahaha

@iabelanger 6 месяцев назад

I lived in Brussels and loved it so much. The best things about Brussels is the under group cultural and art scene, everything outside of the touristic spots are the best. ❤

@peteridoko8279 4 месяца назад

Brussel is a great city. My lifelong dream is to one day live there.

@Psycopathicus 7 месяцев назад

I've actually been to Brussels twice now, and during my first stay, I stayed at the Indigo, and I had the same problem you did - it's just too far away from everything cool; I wound up eating a lot of trash food simply because it was close to the hotel and I was too worn out at the end of the day to go exploring for anything else. My second time, I stayed at the Bedford, which is definitely a place I would recommend - it's just a short walk from the Grand Place; it's not too expensive, and the rooms are nice and comfy.

@wanneske1969 6 месяцев назад

From Indigo to the center it's only 1 km ... And there is still public transport (busses, underground).

@Psycopathicus 6 месяцев назад

That may be true, but nothing beats close physical proximity. You save immense amounts of money and time by simply being able to see what you want via a quick stroll.@@wanneske1969

I’m going solo on Saturday …. I’m bricking it … Iv never done it before 😅

@stephany2857 Год назад

Love it!! But I didn’t get any chocolates!❤️

@emily_meadows Год назад

Move to London and I’ll get you some chocolate.

@stevenhendrix4768 Год назад

The spiciest of your 2 sauces is samourai sauce the darker one is andalouse. These sauces are modern dressings. more traditional sauces are Mayonaise ( does not taste like American mayo) tartaar and Belgian pickels sauce (sauer).

@astheteabrews 6 месяцев назад

Loved your video! So I’ve never traveled before but I’m going with a friend to Brussels soon. We want to take the train to different cities. What’s the best app or website for that? I see more than one and I am clueless! Thanks!

Fries Place Jourdain are nice but it is very crowded as it is listed in all the tourist guides...

@flitsertheo 9 месяцев назад

1:03 You picked a hotel and room straight in front of one of Belgium's best known British shops, Waterstones. 8:30 As a Belgian I would never buy my fries there. It has become a 'touristy" place. Fries cool off very quickly, don't walk too far. 10:13 Stroking the statue of 't Serclaes ? Are you tired of solo trips ? Because stroking that statue brings a year of luck in love. 10:20 those waffles with toppings are indeed meant for tourists. Liège waffles need no toppings at all, powdered white sugar or strawberries are the usual toppings on Brussels waffles. 10:37 Jacques Brel. Most famous Belgian singer so of course the French tried to claim him as being French. They tried to do the same thing with our fries.

OK, video. I definitely love seeing the American Perspective. I just can't help but think, all your trips are paid for by Mommy and Daddy. So, I can't fathom an in-depth review on your end.

Brussels is more than the Grand Place, Manneke Pis, waffles and fries.

Of course, but I only had 3 days. I look forward to seeing more on my next trip!

Tiny boring county, visit the neighboring country Germany, then you will see what it's like to be in Europe, Germany is the epitome the heart of Europe.

If your own country is so fantastic why do you Germans always try to conquer other countries ?
