We have a daughter that will be traveling to Belgium in the upcoming months for a one year stay somewhere in Belgium. We are from the US and she is excited about learning another culture and meeting new people. Not being a world traveler myself I%26#39;m quite nervous as a mother. Are there any particular areas within Belgium that are a must to experience and others to avoid? Very excited to have children that want to know the world without preconceived ideas about one country or another, one person or another but concerned about safety anywhere she goes...as well here in the US (the only difference is I can hop in a car and go get her here). Any comments from those in Belgium?
Thank you...Cusky

Offcourse i can unterstand that you are nervous. It will not go away with a few words. But i can tell you, that Belgium is verry safe. I%26#39;ve traveled allready to so many country%26#39;s like China - venezuela- peru - laos - vietnam - indonesia- romenia....and a lot more. One advice... try to get to know somebody in Belgium via www.myspace.com. It can be verry interesting to learn about a country with local people.
The city Ghent is a place you HAVE to see as a young person. There are a lot of students and during summertime there are streetfestivals. hotel ghent you can find it on www.hotelghent.be. This site gives you more info, links,maps and different ways of transport.
Try to go south of ghent... there you find %26quot;The Flemish Ardennes%26quot;.
It%26#39;s a rural area where you can spend the day for bycicling. That%26#39;s the place where i live. I have a hotel in the village Horebeke south of Ghent.
Look for more info at www.horenbecca.com
Kind regards,
Luc

Luc, thanks so much for the insight to Ghent. It sounds lovely.
Good advise about my space as well. Thank you.
She is excited to travel the world and I hope it%26#39;s everything she dreams and more.
Belgium sounds like a great place to start.
Thanks
