Small Town Belgium Landscapes And Lifestyle

Belgium may be a tiny country, but its little towns and villages pack a wide range of delights to explore and assimilate. International students in Leuven often end up visiting the larger, well known cities such as Brussels, Antwerp, Brugge, Ghent and Oostende. But, it can also be fun to take the time out to visit less known and smaller places which have many hidden surprises, while giving one the opportunity to actually explore the beautiful countrysides of Belgium.

Ode To The Spontaneous Roadtrip

Everybody is boring. Before you feel insulted by this bold claim, I must say that I ashamedly regard myself as being part of everybody as well. Just like many of you, I also studied abroad. I had a good time, met a lot of people and a variety of cultures. I visited places I wanted to see, whenever I had some free time. I studied hard and did well at my exams. A successful and valuable experience, you will agree.

Inside Russia: St. Petersburg

Imagine a city that encompasses the history, culture, literature and art of a whole country. A home to all the greatest thinkers, writers, painters and politicians. A place where empires have risen and fallen, intelligentsia were praised and exiled... Now stop thinking and take a low-cost flight to Latvia, then sit on a night train or bus, and the following morning awake in St. Petersburg, the crown jewel of the Russian Federation.

Madrid

Madrid is everything and everything is Madrid. Known for its hospitality, Madrid completely breaks with the cliché that a large city may be cold and soulless. On the contrary, Madrid is an amalgam of cultures, peoples, customs and races, forms of entertainment and philosophies of life. It is the city where everyone finds their place. If there is something I love about Madrid, it is that everyone is used to everyone coming from somewhere else.
