(Originally published 02/06/2025) Your favorite sister duo learns about the quaint, fairytale town on the north coast of Belgium: Bruges. Our guest this week lived in Bruges for three months, so she has endless recommendations for where to get the best Belgian waffles and chocolate, where to stay, and what to do. She shares about the cultural differences she experienced living there full time versus what you might experience visiting as a tourist. She and her husband also run a travel planning company, Niki and Thom Travel, so be sure to check them out to help plan your next trip! You’ll get a discount if you mention you heard about them through Love It There!
