If everyone acknowledged that "quirky" is good, the world would be a much happier, more peaceful place :)
So true!! 🤗😍
I live in Belgium here. It was really nice seeing other people enjoy the things Belgium has to offer.
Cause, to be honest, I don’t think of much here as “special”. But if I than see other people be like “wooow” over simple things I start to appreciate them more 🤷♂️
Hehe definitely a lot to appreciate!! A lovely place 😍😍
There are many chocolatiers in Brussels.
Neuhaus, Wittamer, Godiva, Leonidas, Pierre Marcolini , Laurent Gerbaud and many others.
We often buy from Leonidas, they are not as fancy as the others and you can find them in many places around the world but they are cheaper and still very good if you want the classics.
As for day to day chocolate, we go for Côte d'or but the granulés from Jacques are also quite nice.
Oooh thank you for the suggestions! We LOVE Leonidas as it’s my mom’s favourite hehe 😍
Already missed Brussels. It's one of my most favorite places ever visited. LOVE is the word I can use to describe how I feel about this city. Love the architecture, love the chocolate, love the mussels, love the waffles, love the fries, love the beer... of course LOVE Tintin (I am also a big fan and I stayed two hours in Tintin Shop just to decide what I should get in the sea of Tintin souvenirs lol). If you are a big fan of Tinin and comics, highly recommend Belgian Centre for Comic Strip Art, huge collection of Tintin and Smurf there.
Oh yes we agree, so much to love 😍 Thank you!! 🤗
So nice to see you discovered some of the best and sweetest things in Belgium!
It was such a delicious day!
I made the mistake(?) of getting absolutely wrecked on Delerium Alley my last night in Belgium. The ensuing flight was an absolute nightmare. Still? Totally worth it! Highly recommend... in moderation (maybe next time?). Keep up the fun.
Haha, it's very easy to get carried away there! Glad you made it back home safe.. hah!
I have followed you for a long time, and always enjoyed your work but, for me, this video has to be your best; entertaining, so professional, informative, humorous, and not a single OTT moment. I didn't want it to end. Thank you so much to my favourite TH-cam couple!!
Wow that’s so kind of you!! Thank you so much 😍🙏🏼 We really appreciate that!
Thank you for this wonderful video. Beautiful Brussel. Belgian waffle, Belgian chocolate, yummy, what else could be better than that. What a uxurious chocolate experience.
For me, for the time being, I can only afford Belgian Godiva, Cote Dor and Guylian, those are affordable, yet taste so delicious. Pralines are my favorite.
A chocolate lovers dream 😍
@@2Passports1Dream Indeed it is and I'm going to keep on dreaming, and believing, hehehe. 😀
There are a few things we eat withe our hands in belguim. Frites waffles and mussels
Please respect this, never seen someone eating waffles with fork
Never thought to eat a waffle (with ice cream!) with our hands hehe 😂
Would advise to take frites from patatak, just the other side of the bourse building.
With home made frikadel and sauces ( like basilic mango, or appel curry).
Omg! i've waiting for an upload, so happy it did!
Hehhe ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome video. You just made Belgians proud. Even though I'm not one. 😊
Thanks! 😃 Glad you liked it ❤️
A very beautiful location to sit and eat your French Fries you lucky pair
❤️
Thanks for the great video…lots of fun !!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
A couple after my own heart....waffles, chocolate, beer, pizza
Hehehee 😍😍😍
I loved this video! We went in 2019 and it brought back lovely memories!
Yayy!! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️❤️
Great content. I enjoyed watching it and loved it as always. Thanks for sharing it. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Glad you enjoyed it 🥰🥰
So nice to see you discovered some of the best and sweetest things in Belgium!😊❤
They are so delicious! hahah ❤️
You guys are amazing! These videos are such high quality! The editing, the presenting, the content...all absolutely fabulous! Thank you both so much for a great series x
Wow thank you so much! 🙏🏼😍 We really appreciate that!!
Another interesting video. Thank you, I feel like I've visited Belgium.
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
No you visited Brussels!!!! Most of us Belgians don't even like Brussels myself included but we do are a little bit chauvenistic so I'm glad you enjoyed the video. You have to start somewhere when you visit a country so why not the capital of our country and EUrope right. If you ever come in the flesh .. Don't fall for the tourist traps (avoid rue de boucher/beenhouwersstraat ) Don't get mugged and a save return. But above all for heavens sake you put toppings (not to much don't make it decadent) on a Brussels waffle never ever on a Liege waffle. There is no such thing as a Belgian waffle there are differend kinds of waffles (and chocolates and speciality beers) in my country and some can use some sweet or fruity stuff on top and some really don't. A tip for you: the square ones usually come with some extra toppings. A waffle is not a vehicule to eat other stuff it exists on its own.
As usual, this was great guys but being the sweet tooth that I am, you had me at waffles 😂😂
You can count on us for sweet stuff 😂
@@2Passports1Dreamdefinitely ❤
Oh yay! Finally actual food, sort of! 😂🍕 Very curious about that cactus beer! Another great one. Cheers!
Hahaha we do eat normal food, promise 😝
I live in Belgium😊
Absolutely adore you guys. Such a lovely couple.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment 😍
We loved the video@!@@ We are visiting Brussels in a month and we gonna stick to your schedule as it seems....😃
That’s awesome 😍💪🏼
I love your videos,
You are a lovely duo❤😊
Thank you so much!!
I'm dutch but LOVE belgie.......
❤️❤️
There's always some food tasting from you guys 🤣🤣 great video of Brussels though, you really do try and capture so much for us, I love seeing the drone clips throughout too, Something about Adriana talking that I just like to listen too 🤩 see you both on the next one
Safe travels Lee
Hehehe we can’t NOT try the yummy foods 👀😍 Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼❤️
This really look like awesome
Mybe its amazing
🤗🤗
glad you enjoyed our Kingdom
So wonderful 👋🏼

You had me at chips and chocolate. Now I'm hungry. The mini Europe was really cool too. How was the chocolate that you made? 🤗💞
The chocolate we made was tasty but surprisingly not sweet enough for our tastes haha!
Hahahaha
So glad I discovered this video and thank you for your review of my beautiful country ❤ Next time in Belgium you definitively have to see Bruges and Ghent 😊
Next time! 😍😍 thank you!
Hello! I enjoyed watching your video. Are you driving, traveling, or flying?
We are currently on a road trip in our van which we live in (apart from big cities like Brussels which doesn’t allow the van in because it’s too old haha)
Ok you two... Absolutely fabulous video but I have to protest. Watching the morning food intake of pure sugar and carbs had my blood sugar up and dangerous range and I wasn't even getting to enjoy the taste flavor and texture😂 All I could envision was Dylan in an a&e getting ivied insulin and saline because his pump had emptied or had burned up from overuse / overheating. 😝
Loving the Europe travels which is a nice surprise I was locked in on the Asian fun.
💙💙💙
Yes! I understand completely, as I experience the similar way. It’s kind of like a mind frame/mood? I’m in the ‘mood’ for beach, or mountains, or hikes that are grand with views. It’s like a let down of energy and gradual weaning. Does that make sense to you? Lol. I watched Paddy Doyle originally, which led me to Flora and Note, then Andrianna and -omg I just spaced his name Two Passports One Dream! These three are exemplary, thorough, informative and quite diversified 🌟🌟🌟Their filming skills are also extraordinarily good! To me-National Geographic QUALITY and quite cinematic, in my humble opinion. Hope all is well with you and yours! Blessings of health love and peace🙏🏻❤️🥰 ps Belgian chocolate is unsurpassed to me so I’d be in shock similar to overloads too! ❤️VIVA LA BELGIUM 🇧🇪❤️
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ hehe it’s amazing exploring Europe this summer/autumn and we can’t wait to head to warmer places over winter, too! 😍 Hehe don’t worry about Dylan’s insulin, since we walked around so much that day - it was in a really good range all day!!👍🏼👍🏼
love the vids you both making, just wondering what where the pro and contras while you visit Belgium
Not many cons tbh!!
It's amazing to see how far you two have gone from exploring Chang Mai on a back-packers budget, to traveling Europe, while still on a somewhat budget. However, I've always wondered, what would have been your next country to visit if you hadn't had the opportunity to purchace the van while you were in Korea?
Hehe thank you so much!! 😍❤️ You know, we discussed so many places there isn’t a specific one that was next on the list! We were super keen to do Europe this summer regardless and are looking forward to heading back to warmer pastures over winter!
Food in belgium it's amazing i swear !
We agree 😍😍😍
Great video
Thanks!
I’m going overseas for the first time to Belgium from the US in August and my friend who lives in Antwerp sent me a link to your video, I genuinely can’t wait to go there 😁
Oh amazing!! We hope you have the best time 😍😍
@@2Passports1Dream thank you 😁
Love the gold fronted windows and other things to
So nice!
@@2Passports1Dream Yes Dylan that’s because when you and Adriana travel together you have both got class and your not cheap
Wonderful video as always. How are you guys staying in shape? Do you have some hidden gym in your van? 🤣
😂😂 we just eat normally outside videos hehe!!
best video ever
Herge was indeed a pen name. As you noted his real name was Georges Remi and the name Herge is the French pronunciation of his reversed initials “R” “G”. There is a Herge museum in the outskirts of Brussels that’s well worth a visit.
Oh that’s sooooo smart!!! 🤯
Love your videos. Have been travelling Europe in our Moho between long distance winter trips. Do you not stay in Elton for visiting cities ? interested in this and acessing cities too.
Our Elton can’t go into most cities due to low emission zones! So we park outside and have a day in the city 😊
@2Passports1Dream yes we have the same problem with our van but obviously have to find sites outside emission zones and ways to get in and out.
@@user-re1jp8qp8k yup, it’s a pain, but worth it!
I like to visit Brussels, awesome place❤
We loved it 😍
Thanks so much for sharing! After viewing this I am planning to watch some of your other videos. Can you please share how you got such a great price on the hotel? Current prices are much higher. Or if you are aware of other reasonably priced hotels in similarly good locations I would appreciate your recommendations.
We use the price match feature on Agoda, essentially if you find it cheaper anywhere else they’ll match your price immediately (so if you open google, check your dates for the hotel and click through the cheapest one, and then through Agoda - it’ll match it!) 😊 (you can also email them to do this)! But different seasons have different prices also!
Thank you @@2Passports1Dream
Love
Living only 10' away from that Dandoy place I should go there apparently, thought it was a tourist trap, but it seems to be worth a visit...
It was really yummy - only tourists there yes but it was very tasty and very cute! 😍
@@2Passports1DreamIt's wonderful to see our city of Brussels, through the eyes of two amazing tourists, having fun, treating yourselves with our best foodies (fries, chocolate, waffles and so on...), I hope this city trip in Brussels, remained close to your heart and memory!! Greetings from Brussels!! 🤗🇧🇪
What a lovely couple 👍
❤️
Herjais adventures of Tin Tin yes I remember that weekly program
❤️
The Scott Hotel looks lovely! When I looked at rates online, they seemed to be around £150 per night. Did you find a specific website or promotion that offered a lower price?
We found it on Agoda for the cheapest! Maybe it's the season?
Andalouse (Andalusian) sauce is one the best belgian specialty you can get. :)
It was different to what we expected!
Maybe because Andalusian sauce is Spanish.@@2Passports1Dream
Oke, so next time you are in Belgium and Brussels go find Manneke pis little sister Vrouwke pis . You can find her in a little alley next to the Grote Markt . She is adorable 🤗
As for the Pralines … The absolute best Pralines ( insider tip and well kept secret ) are Delray Pralines . You can find them near Centraal Station in Antwerp .
As for the fries , if you heard the term : dirty fries … that is a toerist thing . We don’t use that term at all .
Oooooo thank you for all the insight 😍
@@2Passports1Dream The pralines are Delrey not Delray ( typo mistake)
I need to go to mini europe, sto see Stockholms stadshus, and sing Du Gamla Du Fria
Hahahah yes!!!
I'm from Belgium!
❤️❤️
Pity you didn't show you both sampling the cactus beer, would've liked to see that reaction. ;-)
Did you know that in that alley next to Delirium is the statue of Janneke Pis? There's also a doggie statue around somewhere.
If you like comics i'd urge you to visit the Comics art museum. It's magic especially the Marsipulami!
Lovely building as well. Brussel has a lot of uhm more quiet architecture, the kind that's there but you need to look for it. There's a bike ride which showcases these buildings. Also the house of Victor Horta is sometimes open to visitors.
You walked past Mary, a chocolatière i prefer above Neuhaus.(sacrilege!)
I like Luikse wafels above Brusselse wafels.
Oh, that border painted between the UK & the rest of the EU. Funny, but painful.
I wholeheartedly agree though; Gwlad, Gwlad, mumblemumble GWLAD is a _much_ better anthem than that bleeb about saving some uninvited "royalty", don't they have enough money to do that themselves, bootstraps...
Annibynieath, YesCymru etc.
Hwyl
Liefs,
leafs
Hehe Dylan did try the cactus beer and really loved it as well!! It was so fruity and fresh! 😍
Hehehe we also really like leonida’s chocolates - but with any chocolates you can’t really go wrong hehe 😍
Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
How was the climate over there bro too chill or normal temperature
It was lovely, 22degrees celsius in october
Next time try Pierre Marcolini chocolates.Much better than Neuhaus.
Ooooh duly noted 😍😍
Im born in Bruxelles Live in Bruxelles ( im moving out because too expensive) best place in the world for me even tho it's less nice then 10 year before but still proudly of mi homes town
It’s a lovely place 😍
Have you tried the fries with mussels (Moules-frites)? It's famous "in between" food Belgium is known for. It's not classy, but it most certainly isn't fast food either. Think you would have liked it over the pizza ;o).
Oooo we haven’t! That sounds so yummy 😍😍
@@2Passports1Dream I think so :o).
@@2Passports1Dream Or friet with stoofvlees if you are not into clamfood. stoofvlees means stu we make it with brown beer. It is to us what Goulash is to the Hungarians but is different. There is vol au vent too if you like chicken. It's all comfort food nothing fancy but not fast food either. I noticed you like speculoos a lot well then you must visit my city Hasselt in the east of Flanders. We are known for our speculoos and genever. It is the place to be If you like shotdrinks. you must try genever it is to us what Whiskey is to the scotts. We have a statue/fountain and ones a year it poors genever instead of water during our genever feesten or genever festivities in English. Its a bit like the october fests in Germany. We have al kinds of tastes of jenever and speculoos plain or with almonts. I prefere a "Hasseltse coffee" as 3th speciality of my city.
Best
Those fries you eat nest to the bourse are the worst. There is a reason you only see tourists there. Next time go to "Parvis de Saint-Gilles" for the flies. The perfect combination would be a steak frites with a beer. For the chocolate, Leonidas is not bad but if you want that extra wow go for Darcis.
Duly noted!! Thank you 🤗🙏🏼
next time bruges or at the coast de haan
Suits you Dylan in the bathing cap 😂
hahahha nooo!!
I'm interested in starting up a business in belgium, any information on procedure and protocols and taxes etc?
We were just tourists, no idea - sorry! 🤗
Dendoï , LOL it's Dandwa .
Pardon?
Those chocolate prices, though. Wow
I know right 👀😅 but very very tasty hehe
How mutch did you guys payed to love all of this? My God this is so transparent
We mentioned the cost of the hotel & the chocolates! All the other links are in the description 🙏🏼
Cactus beer sounds healthy. Nopal beer.
It was so tasty!!
I’ll say one thing your boyfriend Dylan spends so much on you Adriana he shows his love to you by taking you to some of the best hotels like this one
He is the best!! ❤️
I haven't been in the centre of Brussels since more then a year ago now, but there are still some places to watch out of course.
Like the biggest rail station of Brussels, which is Brussels-Midi where you really need to watch out and its ofc for the crimes taht happens in the region ther.
Mostly there's one crime per hour in the region of the rail station.
Also the North station and thats more for the homeless people.
And there are also some municipalities from Brussels itself to really avoid aspecially Molenbeek, Schaerbeek and Anderlecht.
Just saying that you've seen the beautiful side of Brussels but there's also a dirty side of Brussels which I've seen unfortunately too much.
Thank you for the information!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Like Switzerland, Belgium is famous for chocolates
😍
i am from belgium
❤️❤️
The fries are huge.
Heheeh they always seem to be 😍
Welcome to our little country... no getting out under 6000 calories 🙂
Hahaha true! 😂😍
Belgians would have ordered fries drenched in 'stoofvleessaus' i think its translated to 'stewingmeatsauce' or sum . Drenched means like almost more sauce then fries. It is the best i know a lot of belgians that are proud of this meal
Oh interesting!! Thank you for the info 😍
Dylan does your waffle have grated nuts in those tiny pockets of loveliness
Yes!! it had hazelnut in there! Delicious
bro i was there
Where?
And the atomium??
We didn’t have time to do it all!
No worries but If you go to belgium again visit it, it is incredible !
Not bomb in ww2, gorgeous buildings❤
That makes sense! ❤️
Shame on you for eating that pizza in the end!!! 🤪
Hahaha we were so hungry and needed something fast 😍😍
Hotel. Where went the Elton?
Elton ddim yn cael mynd mewn ir dinasoedd mawr ma!! Low emission zones 😅
Does that currency card work for Americans?
Unfortunately it’s only for U.K. bank card holders currently!!
belgium has three official languages. Dutch, french and German. Dutch is spoken by 60% of the population, french 39%, and German 1%
Next top
Gent ore that was the trip
In belgium. Because Gent and Brugge And Antwerp is more
Beautiful than Brussel
What happened to Van life ? You’re not staying in your van any more 😮
We are!! Just not in the main cities where the van isn’t allowed because of the low emissions zone 😅 we stayed in Elton in the last video! 😍
Idc what you tell me, manneken pis is the best monument in the world.
Haha 😍
Why 24 h and not 2h ? you could get rid faster of the trouble ? Why wait all that time ?
What do you mean?
Seems like you guys skipped the most beautiful medievil old town in the world... Bruges.
We have many places we still need to visit 😍
If you never have visit Antwerp you don't now Belgium. You will be amazed.( Much better than Brussels)
Definitely need to visit next time 😍
@@2Passports1Dream
Most foreigers go to this places Bruges, Ghent that's ok and nice for a visit are stay (Brussels sorry not my piece of cake as a Belgian) "10 Awesome things to do in Antwerp" check it out on You Tube. You You gonna thank me afterwards if you been there? Greetings Me.
Don't go crying about brexit. You wanted it you got it. 👨🎓
Adriana is from Sweden 😂😅 and I didn’t vote brexit
How about visiting Israel???
Maybe one day!
Free Palestine
Shame on you, to end with a pizza..
We were hungry and it was late? 🥹
Don't, really don't. The worst, most overrated city in Europe. Fact
We really enjoyed it 🤗
