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.
If you are/know a Belgian who moved abroad or someone who moved to Belgium and would like to participate in the X-pat Files, please let me know. This series can only be a success with your help!
(I’m sorry, but at the moment I’m only looking for people with jobs, not students or people who’ve retired abroad)
