The Adventure begins.

As most of you know I have started a new adventure in Belgium. It was a challenging move to get myself form Hawaii to Brussels. I made a short stop in Florida to replace my slippers and bikinis for boots and jeans.

My first attempt to leave the country was delayed due to weather. This was a blessing in disguise. I was allowed an extra day at home with my mom AND got upgraded to first class on the first leg of my new flight. I also met the nicest United employee ever changing my flight. She hooked me up with exit row on my international flight. The legroom was on point.

Once I arrived in Brussels I had to collect all my worldly belongings from the luggage carousel and go locate a tall stranger to take me to his house. It was not until later that I realized I agreed to go live with complete strangers for a week while I try to locate an apartment of my own. It was not as bad as it sounds. They were quite kind and had a coffee machine that allowed me to have multiple lattes a day.
It took several emails to try to find a place to call home. After 5 days of spending hours online looking at pictures of apartments I found something I wanted to visit. I fell in love with the first and only place I went to visit. I feel like a real grown up now. I don't have roommates and I have matching dishware.  I would like to welcome you to my new European flat:





And I can't forget to tell you that I have had a waffle. It was better than I could have imagined.
