About me

About me
Hey there, my name is Daphne and most of the time I'm a happy and an energetic person, always open to new experiences! I have a wide variety of interests, ranging from nerdy stuff (I studied Artificial Intelligence) to food (both to cook and eat), going out for drinks, enjoying nature or visiting museums. My biggest hobby is probably reading, I can spend hours talking about books and I love to give and receive recommendations for the best reads. :)

Why Antwerp ?
For me Antwerp is a perfect-sized city: big enough to keep exploring new places every day, and small enough to easily get around by bike and feel the homey and comfortable vibe. In Antwerp, you'll find many cute restaurants and cafes and but I also love it for the cultural experience it offers: bars with live music every night, great art galleries, museums and cool events throughout the year.

Luddites Books and Wine Antwerp

Luddites Books and Wine

Sweet & Book-ish Escapism

For every purchased book you get 50% off of a glass of wine, and they do have nice ones: up to this point, this place is the only one where I've ever seen orange wine.

Brunch on a Rooftop Terrace

I recommend any of their pastries as well as their fabulous 'Green Goddess Sandwich' - guacamole, a poached egg, and salmon, what else could I ask for?

Milad

Middle Eastern Ice Cream at its best

We all love Italian Gelato of course, but middle eastern flavors with lots of rosewater, pistachio & saffron are a great way to mix up the ice cream game!

Middelheim

Park Filled with Nature and Statues

Made by a variety of Belgian and international artists, some look classic; others are modern and, of course, (according to Belgian tradition) some will give you a surrealistic vibe.

Buchbar Antwerp

Buchbar

Perfect for Books & Brunch

The owners of Buchbar are very careful to only select books that they've read (and enjoyed) themselves and will also offer some hidden gems as well.

Droogdokkenpark

Perfect for sunsets

You can sit on the grass, but there are also some loungers for an even more comfortable and chill experience (come early, before they're all taken).
