"The first time I visited Brussels, I was a broke 18 yo student, going for my first-ever trip in a hostel with my 2 BFFs and got my first ear-piercing.
As you can imagine, it wasn't all glitter and fanciness, and yet, I had one of the best trips of my life. I ate THE BEST FRIES OF MY ENTIRE LIFE, and that was it for me!
The city is small for a European capital, but it's one of the best city breaks you could go on. Lose yourself in the streets, eat waffles for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and simply enjoy the vibe of this wonderful city. "
