Of course, no trip to Belgium would be complete without tasting the delicious Belgian waffles! 🧇
But the most meaningful part of her visit is reconnecting with Charlotte, her former exchange student, and finally meeting Charlotte's family in their hometown of Soignies. It's a beautiful reminder that the most memorable travel experiences are often about the people we meet along the way. ❤️

This episode is a very special one. We’re welcoming the start of 2026 and continuing our Legends of the Spanish-Speaking World series with something a little different.
Instead of focusing on just one country, today we’ll travel through several Spanish-speaking cultures to explore the beliefs and traditions connected to the New Year. Are they legends or traditions? Sometimes, they’re both—stories that aren’t always told with words, but lived through actions, once a year, as people let go of the old and prepare for a new beginning. Transcript HERE
