From Brussels with chocolate. Part I

Chocolate o’clock. This story was written after my chocolate trail during my last month in a place I called home for almost 4 years. Thus, it was my way of honoring Brussels, my adoptive city, where I moved in 2013 without knowing anyone. Continue reading “From Brussels with chocolate. Part I”
