This cracked me up because it’s a battle I know all too well!

Structured planner meets spontaneous wanderer. I’ve been on both sides of this travel tug-of-war at one time or another, and honestly, watching someone whip out a guidebook like they’re planning a military op while you’re vibing with the “let’s see what happens” approach is gold.

But hey, it works!

Sometimes you discover these hidden gems because someone obsessed over every detail.

Other times, those unexpected detours lead to the best stories. Ghent sounds like the perfect setting for both styles of traveling.

Thanks for sharing this adventure, it’s giving me major FOMO.

Ghent is now officially climbing higher on that travel bucket list of mine.

Your article and photos make me want to book a ticket tomorrow, so thanks for the nudge (and yes, I’m jealous). 😊
