07/05/20 • 58 min
Welcome to Episode 5 where Anna is trying to convince me to go back to Brussels. After visiting the city few years ago I wasn't charmed but Anna did her best! We talked about food, travels, beer soups, diamonds and chocolate! đź’Ž
About Anna:
Anna is an Italian tour guide, geographer, passionate traveller who loves meeting people from around the world. After travelling and living in Australia, New Zealand and UK for a while, Anna settled down and started a family in Belgium. "I can guarantee it now... Belgium is not only beer, chocolate and fries! Come and discover it with me!"
Places to visit (apart from the main cities):
Flanders countryside around Brussels (Merchtem, Brussegem, Mollem, Opwijk)
Durbuy, Ardennes (mountains), La Roche, Bastogne, Waterloo
Lots of festivals in summertime (Jazz Festival in Brussels, Tomorrowland, Pukkelpop, Ghent Festivities - to name a few)
Typical food: stoofvlees/carbonnade (beef stew cooked with beer), Vol Au Vent (puff pastry, in Flanders it's filled with chicken, meatballs and mushroom sauce), Brussels sprouts, witlof (white chicory)
Some of the typical beers in Belgium: Gueuze (lambics, sour, typical from Brussels area), Trappists (such as Chimay, Orval, Westmalle), Pilsner (such as Maes, Jupiler or Stella Artois)
In Brussels: the Art Nouveau architecture style, and the comic strip! You can find murals all over the city!

🇳🇿 🗣 ️Travel to New Zealand ft Michael Gask #006
New Zealand! Gotta love it! I am talking with Michael who is a local and knows a fair deal of New Zealand. Me and Mike have decided to give you a full itinerary for your journey to that part of the world. New Zealand and Australia are so far from everything so why not make the most of it? Learn how to manage your time in the islands, the culture, few Maori words and how the wine industry came along. If you are feeling extra curious, a blog post is coming up in the next few days with additional information. About Michael: "Kia ora, I'm Michael, from Auckland, New Zealand. I work in an English language school, teaching international students from many different countries. I'm passionate about sharing my country with the students who come to our school, and now I'm really honoured to be able to share Aotearoa New Zealand with Pavel's followers as well. When I travel, I'm most interested in history, architecture and culture, and I try to bring the same perspectives to my own country. I'm really happy to answer any questions you have, or if you've been to New Zealand, any extra advice, information or places that you feel I've missed out. You can find me on Instagram, where you can also see photos of some of the places I mention in my conversation with Pavel" Let's connect: Website: https://curiouspavel.com/ Youtube: https://youtube.com/c/curiouspavel LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/curiouspavel/ Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/curiouspavel Facebook: http://Facebook.com/curiouspavel TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@curiouspavel Twitter: https://twitter.com/CuriousPavel Podcast RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/130888c/podcast/rss My Podcast Equipment: Microphone: https://amzn.to/2AMrDZG Microphone stand: https://amzn.to/3dPdp8E Microphone foam cover: https://amzn.to/3dEevnU Sound card: https://amzn.to/3eUClvF Music By: Rising Spirits Jay Man - OurMusicBox #newzealand #auckland #podcast
