Hi, I’m Emily — your friendly Ghent local! What I love most about this city is how there’s always something beautiful to discover around every corner — from hidden courtyards to charming canals and cosy bars that instantly make you feel at home. You’ll often find me browsing through thrift stores or enjoying a drink at one of the city’s live music spots. I know Ghent’s historical center and student neighborhoods inside out and love sharing fun stories from the city’s past. Whether you’re after local markets, vintage gems, or the best spots for a night out, I’ll make sure your time in Ghent feels like exploring with a friend who truly loves this place!
