Hi, I’m Jana, and I love sharing the charm and creativity of Ghent with curious visitors. I’m inspired by the city’s rivers that weave through its streets, adding to its unique character, and I enjoy cycling around to discover its hidden corners. I’m a big fan of the annual Film Fest Ghent and love introducing friends and visitors to both the highlights and the quirky, off-the-beaten-path spots that don’t appear in guidebooks. I know the historical center and the hip, slightly alternative Dok Noord area inside out, and I enjoy showing the fun customs, local quirks, and little surprises that make Ghent feel alive. With me, you’ll see the city through the eyes of someone who truly loves it.
