Meet Pieter Ghijsels: the art of not planning, or how to enjoy the unexpected All Inclusive

    • Places & Travel

One of the most debated issues when talking about travel, and accessible travel in particular, is the need to do careful planning and spend a lot of time and care in anticipating every possible issue that may arise while you are on holiday. Meet Pieter Ghijsels and the art of not planning, and being open to the unexpected beauty that’s out there.

An esteemed professional of accessible and inclusive destinations, working for the Belgian Flemish Tourism Board Visit Flanders for the last 20 years, Pieter tells all about how things just have to happen while you are travelling, and how, for better or worse, if you don’t leave enough space for the unexpected, you risk losing some unforgettable experiences.

The first of a series of episodes dedicated to Belgium and to Belgian travellers, do not miss this fun interview on beautiful encounters, tragic customer service, how not to enjoy a Michelin starred restaurant with jetlag, how to enjoy starred night skies in Italy and how The Hickhikers’ Guide to The Galaxy is actually a great source of travel advice.
