Belgium: Tin Tin, Beer and Pigeon Milking?

Bordered by The Netherlands, Luxemburg, Germany and France… Belgium is a densely populated, complicated, but often unseen, unheard and uncared about place. It is, however, filled with a weird, rich history, a mountain of outside influence, so many divides, 3 official languages and 10s of unofficial languages and dialects.

On the surface, it’s known basically for bureaucracy, fries, chocolate, diamonds, Tin Tin, a statue of a peeing boy and well… not much else right?

Not many people could truly look at Belgium Iconic. But as we all know, it’s often the understated places that are the most surprising. And that goes for our guest today too. Our friend, the wonderful, kind and hilarious, Belgian born Dennis Vanneste.
