Belgium – Alex In Wanderland https://www.alexinwanderland.com Fri, 01 Feb 2019 03:47:37 +0000 en-US hourly 1 My Travelversary: Year Four https://www.alexinwanderland.com/four-years-of-travel/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=four-years-of-travel https://www.alexinwanderland.com/four-years-of-travel/#comments Mon, 29 Jun 2015 14:00:00 +0000 https://www.alexinwanderland.com/?p=35684 June is a pretty big month around these parts — the 9th (yup, this post is a tad late, what else is new) marked four whole years in Wanderland. Four years since the day I took off from New York on a one-way ticket. Fourty-eight months since alexinwanderland.com went live. One thousand, four hundred and sixty […]

Previously I’ve featured Burning Man, an epic week-long social experiment in the desert, Sunjam, an intimate annual rave on a deserted Central American island, and The Full Moon Party, Southeast Asia’s most infamous monthly blowout. I’ve got festival fever, and Tomorrowland […]

Even a weekend trip to Vegas can reduce me to a puddle of packing misery, so imagine […]

But what can I say? I’ll hostel hop for months and play the credit card points game all day if it means that once a year I can splurge on a magical experience like Tomorrowland. While costs will of course vary […]

I mean, can you blame us for occasionally tossing around the idea of foregoing the festival altogether and […]

She listened to dreamy tales and watched, transfixed, a beautiful thing called The Aftermovie, and she knew that someday, somehow, she too would join the sweaty, flag-swathed masses for her own Tomorrowland experience. Though many […]

I’d heard rave reviews for the medieval Flanders towns of Ghent and Bruges, and while in the perfect world I would have spent a few days exploring each, I had just twenty-four […]

But I can never hold grudges for long — especially against a country as delicious as this one. Ask any traveler with a Belgian stamp in their passport about their experience and it’s likely they’ll get a hazy look in their eye as they dreamily recall waffles, […]

Twenty-five. I made it. While I’m much more about racking up experiences than passport stamps, I couldn’t help but smile at the fact that upon arrival in Belgium, I had reached my goal — albeit a very casual one — of visiting twenty-five countries before my twenty-fifth […]

Whew! Apologies for the jumbled posting schedule this week, but getting out of Belgium really threw me for a loop. My eight days in the country started off pretty rocky and while frustrations continued to pile up, all was forgiven upon arrival at Tomorrowland with one of my fave travel buddies by my side. Going entirely […]
