Hi girlllll it's me again 😘😘 So let's start 🚌🚉🚂: So I don't know if you know Zoro from One Piece, but yeah that's me, I don't have a good sense of direction and having street signs in two languages made it super hard for me (it should be the opposite, but not for me). I got lost so many times, and not being able to figure out the metro stops was hell. As for the rest, transportation costs between 2.70€ and 3€; I paid contactless. The vehicles are on time, not like in Italy haha 🧇🍟: As...

Visited a friend in this lovely small town. Nothing much to see, but peaceful and lovely. There is a nice ice cream place and fries place on the main street. Very green. With a great lake near by to relax at.

Brussels was great! I stayed only for 3 days so i didnt have much time to explore. Couldn’t find the thrift stores anywhere :( We were adviced to be extremely cautious and watch out for thieves, but fortunately none showed up!

Brussels is an impressive city; you can feel the cultural mix everywhere. I think it’s no coincidence that they call it the capital of Europe. As a capital city, it offers a wide variety of things to do. Personally, my favorite spot is the Bois de la Cambre; I think it’s a beautiful place to take a walk and enjoy a moment of connection that’s a bit different from the usual city life.

I stayed near the smaller airport, it did take a bit of time to get into the city centre but it was so worth it. I loved being in a normal part of town out of the tourist zones and I found a couple of great food spots! Everything was so beautiful in the main city centre, the architecture and the people were all great! Stumbled upon a local skateboarding event and it was the best part of the holiday!

Such a lovely city!! Beautiful architecture and so much history to learn about . Felt very safe as a young (minor) woman walking around during the day and even in the evening! Food was lovely as well x

It was a fun experience. We went there for a friend's birthday. We went to eat cake at a lovely Brazilian shop. Went then to see a few tourist attractions and beautiful churches. For the rest of the day went did a pub crawl and the night life was so fun. Couldn't stop dancing.

Brussels is very pretty city, it is like a transaction point of two cultures and it was lovely to even just walk around the city, yet as the sun goes down it is a good idea to be little more careful, especially if you are close to Brussels north or Brussels midi, stay safe 🐰💕

Liège
Liège is not the safest place for women. During the day in crowded areas it’s fine but there is catcalling/unwanted interactions in certain places. I would definitely not recommend it during the night tho if you’re not with a group of friends, there’s a lot of harassment, the vibes are kinda creepy in certain streets and you’ll see for yourself that you’ll mostly only find men outside. There’s definitely worse cities but I wouldn’t say that Liège is safe.

Jabbeke
I think it's very safe, the only thing that has really happened here is our house being robbed but people and transport are pretty safe if you ask me. I don't go out in Jabbeke that much during night so I don't know how unsafe it is at night but to be honest, it's a pretty boring village so nothing happens here much.

Generally people tend to leave you alone. I would say certain areas aren't as safe. But not where I live and not the centre either. You do have to be carefull for pickpocketers! And there could be a lot of people asking you for money or sometimes food. But they mean no harm. Personally I have felt way more bothered in other cities in Belgium than in Brussels.

Bruges
Bruges is very safe. I lived there for 5 years and only had one weird encounter. It was near t'zand (station area) during the day and had to call police (drunk guys harassing me and my friend) but for the rest it's super safe!! You can easily walk alone even at night.
Posted: July 13, 2026Leuven
Personally, I’ve never felt unsafe in the year I’ve been living in Leuven! Even at night I’ve never had any unpleasant experiences. On Thursdays lots of students go out to drink, so keep in mind you might encounter some drunk college students. Also, watch out your bike doesn’t get stolen, it’s kind of a thing between the students here 😅 Lock both your wheels and the frame of the bike to be safe (my bike has never been stolen, but I know many that have been). Sometimes they get returned...

Lier
I have lived in Lier all my life and have rarely if ever felt unsafe during the day or night. At night I would however avoid de 'vesten' (walkway through trees) and 'dijken' (walkway along canal) as there are no lanterns there.

About me
frensh bellow Friendly and always ready for an adventure, I love exploring new cultures and enjoying life’s simple, carefree moments. I study sociology and anthropology, so I’m endlessly curious about the world and the people in it. I’m just as happy spending a night dancing — from electro to salsa — as I am playing board games, having long chats with friends, or watching indie films. I enjoy hiking, climbing, and living simply with the essentials, and I always try to keep a positive outlook. Whatsapp : +32474041595 Insta: @lindsaymiriki Sociable et toujours partante pour l’aventure, j’adore découvrir de nouvelles cultures vivantes et partager des moments sans prise de tête. Étudiante en sociologie et anthropologie, je suis curieuse du monde qui m’entoure. Je suis aussi bien partante pour une soirée dansante — de l’électro à la salsa — qu’une soirée jeux de société, discussion entre amis ou cinéma indépendant. J’aime la randonnée, l’escalade, vivre avec l’essentiel, et je garde toujours un esprit positif.
