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 😍😍
If everyone acknowledged that "quirky" is good, the world would be a much happier, more peaceful place :)
So true!! 🤗😍
Quirkiness is what I love most about Belgium! ❤😊
Ok and the chocolate and waffles! 😋
So nice to see you discovered some of the best and sweetest things in Belgium!
It was such a delicious day!
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!! 🤗
you loved also the dirty streets, the dangerous ones included? The poverty that you don't see in the touristic center? The dirty and unsafe metro/trainstations ridden with intense urine smell?
Ce que je déteste le plus ce sont des provinciaux dans ton genre qui ne connaissent de Bruxelles que par ses gares et qui fréquentent des boites pour paysans
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 UA-cam couple!!
Wow that’s so kind of you!! Thank you so much 😍🙏🏼 We really appreciate that!
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 😍
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!!
Thank you. I love Belgium 🇧🇪 particularly Brussels and the Ardennes
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!
So nice to see you discovered some of the best and sweetest things in Belgium!😊❤
They are so delicious! hahah ❤️
Omg! i've waiting for an upload, so happy it did!
Hehhe ❤️❤️❤️
You can only like if you're from Belgium
❤️
glad you enjoyed our Kingdom
So wonderful 👋🏼
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.
Absolutely adore you guys. Such a lovely couple.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment 😍
Oh yay! Finally actual food, sort of! 😂🍕 Very curious about that cactus beer! Another great one. Cheers!
Hahaha we do eat normal food, promise 😝
Tnx for the lovely words about my Country! loved it. you made me see things even i didn't know lol
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the great video…lots of fun !!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
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!! 🙏🏼❤️
Guys, I'm from Brussels, living in Brussels and I have to say, you guys did a very good job to present my home. Thank you for that, it is very appreciated. Don't hesitate to come back, I can recommand you some things to do next time if you want :)
Oh awesome!! Thanks so much 😃☀️
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).
Great content. I enjoyed watching it and loved it as always. Thanks for sharing it. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Glad you enjoyed it 🥰🥰
Very beautiful
I'm dutch but LOVE belgie.......
❤️❤️
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 live in Belgium😊
This really look like awesome
Mybe its amazing
🤗🤗
Great Video - we import and export Belgian beers around the world - makes us proud to see this nice experiences
😍😍 amazing!
A couple after my own heart....waffles, chocolate, beer, pizza
Hehehee 😍😍😍
Iam born in Belgium, and raised up on Belgian chocolate.
Easter ? Belgian kids get chocolate. Christmas? Belgian children get Belgian chocolate as present. Sinterklaas? The Belgian kids get Belgian chocolate for present. And Belgian chocolate now is my confort food.
There is always a reason, to dig in in Belgian chocolate.
Completely agree!! 😍😍 it’s always the right time for Belgian chocolate 😍
Sinterklaas? I always received speculoos from Dandoy... 😉
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 ❤
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 😂
Such a underated channel !! Love the vids 😀 . I am from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤
😍🙏🏼
I love your videos,
You are a lovely duo❤😊
Thank you so much!!
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!
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!!! 🤯
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
_Europa_ 😎
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!
I like to visit Brussels, awesome place❤
We loved it 😍
Great video
Thanks!
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!!👍🏼👍🏼
Like Switzerland, Belgium is famous for chocolates
😍
I'm from Belgium!
❤️❤️
I like your pronunciation of Dandoy!
Hehe thank you!
Herjais adventures of Tin Tin yes I remember that weekly program
❤️
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!! 🤗🇧🇪
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!!
Awesome video. You just made Belgians proud. Even though I'm not one. 😊
Thanks! 😃 Glad you liked it ❤️
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)
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!! ❤️
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
Best
A very beautiful location to sit and eat your French Fries you lucky pair
❤️
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)
Next time try Pierre Marcolini chocolates.Much better than Neuhaus.
Ooooh duly noted 😍😍
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
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 😍
I live in belguim 🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪
I need to go to mini europe, sto see Stockholms stadshus, and sing Du Gamla Du Fria
Hahahah yes!!!
Welcome to our little country... no getting out under 6000 calories 🙂
Hahaha true! 😂😍
What a lovely couple 👍
❤️
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 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
i am from belgium
❤️❤️
Ah ah, that's Brussels for the tourists :) Thanks for saying speculoos instead of Biscoff though :) And it ssems like you read Tintin in the original language, since you said Milou ? That's pretty cool :) We Belgians also love Spirou by Franquin, it is as huge in ouor country as Tintin, but unknown abroad unfortunately.
My mom is a very big Tintin fan and loves the original comics! 🥹😍 oh interesting! 😀
Cactus beer sounds healthy. Nopal beer.
It was so tasty!!
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.
@@KurtFricker-n8q yup, it’s a pain, but worth it!
Those chocolate prices, though. Wow
I know right 👀😅 but very very tasty hehe
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
@3:01 Small correction: Milou is the french name. It's snowy in English.
Ah yes but it’s the original written language of the comics! Also, fun fact, it’s Milou in many other languages too (like in Sweden) 😊
@@2Passports1Dream no worries. You learn something new every day 😉
Great channel, beautiful city. Where are you guys from?🙂
Thank you so much!! Dylan is from wales and I’m from Sweden 😊
@@2Passports1Dream Great👍🏻💪🏻
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 !
The fries are huge.
Heheeh they always seem to be 😍
How was the climate over there bro too chill or normal temperature
It was lovely, 22degrees celsius in october
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 🤗🙏🏼
Does that currency card work for Americans?
Unfortunately it’s only for U.K. bank card holders currently!!
bro i was there
Where?
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! 🤗
👍🏽
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.
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 🙏🏼
next time bruges or at the coast de haan
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 😍
Idc what you tell me, manneken pis is the best monument in the world.
Haha 😍
Dylan does your waffle have grated nuts in those tiny pockets of loveliness
Yes!! it had hazelnut in there! Delicious
love the vids you both making, just wondering what where the pro and contras while you visit Belgium
Not many cons tbh!!
Shame on you for eating that pizza in the end!!! 🤪
Hahaha we were so hungry and needed something fast 😍😍
Dendoï , LOL it's Dandwa .
Pardon?
@@2Passports1Dream You're really dense . Its pronounced Dandwa .
Next top
Gent ore that was the trip
In belgium. Because Gent and Brugge And Antwerp is more
Beautiful than Brussel
Hi - how many days would you recommend to visit Brussels?
At least 2 😍😍
belgium has three official languages. Dutch, french and German. Dutch is spoken by 60% of the population, french 39%, and German 1%
Beaucoup de francophones vivent en Flandre donc c’est moins de 60%
I am planning to visit Brussels in December . Can anyone tell me , How will it be the climate there at that time ?!
I would assume very cold 😊😅
@@2Passports1Dream and rainy ☔🌧️
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! 😍
Debating between Belgium and Switzerland. Which country?🤯
They’re not comparable to eachother!! Both! 😍
Belgium has much more to offer than brussels, antwerp or bruges
Very true! We need to visit more places 😍
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!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Tintin Lover like me would be in heaven here
Definitely 😍😍
There are much more nice places in Brussels☺️ palace of Justice with the giant wheel, kruidtuin, royal palace, EU commission, Jubelpark,…
