I'm going to gush a little more about my country of birth. I hope you won't mind. As with many of us immigrants, even though we have made our home here in Canada, an invisible thread keeps pulling us back to the country of our youth. And yes, distance does make the heart grow fonder.

When it comes to travelling to Europe, Belgium is often overlooked as a destination. Unless of course you have been invited to attend a function at NATO headquarters in Brussels. I'm sure I personally will never receive such an invitation, so I tend to stick to family visits. I am an immigrant from Belgium, and have lived in Canada for some 25 years, these last 15 years in lovely Paris, Ontario, which has become my home.
