The X-pat Files is an interview series in which I talk to Belgians who moved abroad on the one hand, and people from all over the world who moved to Belgium on the other. Through these conversations I try to discover what about Belgium attracts people, but also what pushes them away.
The X-pat Files looks beyond the touristic sights and nice-to-know places. The series investigates the pleasures and frustrations of daily life in Belgium, always wondering whether these are the same for Belgians and expats, or completely different.
The X-pat Files is currently on hold. There are plenty of interviews here to read, but I won’t be adding any new ones at the moment.
