At a Team lunch eating a delicious
Massaman tofu curry

This week, I began my new role as Communications
Assistant at Sustainability Consult.
It is a fairly fast-paced environment and I’ve already had a number of
tasks to undertake, such as proofreading, media monitoring and generating ideas
for blog posts. Nevertheless, as
the photos
from our Team raclette evening testify, my colleagues also know how to let
their hair down!
I moved to Brussels recently, having lived in London
on-and-off for the last three years.
Although I was sad to leave, the people of my new city have been
overwhelmingly friendly and welcoming.
I have admired Belgium ever since I started living in nearby Luxembourg and
had the opportunity to visit it on day-trips. It is nice to have been given the chance to live here.
Besides gaufres and beer, my other Belgian penchants
include rock music (of both the Flemish
and Walloon variety)
and its Dame
Blanche dessert. In fact, I am
planning a trip to Vieux
Saint-Martin, reputed to serve one of the best Dame Blanches in the city. As a vegetarian, I have been pleasantly
surprised by how many ‘normal’ restaurants cater for me - although it is frustrating
that many vegetarian restaurants in Brussels are not open beyond lunchtime.
All in all, I am looking forward to continuing this
interesting and challenging new job, as well as exploring this varied,
multilingual city (unpredictable weather notwithstanding)…
