I am a twenty-something American newlywed, originally from the midwest, who just recently moved to Antwerp to live with my Belgian husband. While he has lived in and loved Antwerp all his life, I am still learning the lay of the land and discovering all that this city and country have to offer. I am excited to share the adventures of adjusting to an expat life and my explorations of Antwerp and Belgium. The stories I share are just an extension of my daily encounters, these include but are not limited to: struggles with metric conversion (31°C will never sound warm to a Midwest girl), entertaining language mixups, and grocery shopping woes (what no peanut butter?).

Looking forward to following your blog! Sounds like you have quite the adventure going on! Sad news about the peanut butter though.
Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to reading your nerdlywed adventures as well!
wow, it’s a big step from USA to Antwerp! Congratulations for your wedding and I wish you to find inspiration for your blog.
I didn’t know there is no peanut butter in Belgium. Did you manage to find eventually? maybe try bigger supermarkets like Cora or Carrefour? 🙂
Thanks 🙂 I did find peanut butter, but not natural peanut butter. Fortunately, I can make it myself since we just bought a food processor. Thanks for stopping buy
