Angela Dansby, award-winning
lifestyle journalist, for a lively
book talk on Best of Belgium: The
Complete Travel Guide Through
Expat Eyes (Borgerhoff &
Lamberigts, April 2026). Created
especially for residents and visitors
eager to go beyond the obvious, this
insider’s journey reveals a small
country rich in heritage, culture
and diversity.
Drawing on her journey through
all Belgian regions and provinces,
Angela uncovers surprising
destinations and overlooked corners

architectural gems to hidden natural

photographic insight, her talk will
inspire you to explore more deeply
and see Belgium with fresh eyes.
