Florent Verstraeten was born and grew up in Brussels. Curious about everything, he paces the city, always looking for the most secrets spots that even the inhabitants don't know. In his free time, he organizes bicycle or pedestrian tours in various districts of Brussels. His ambition: to awaken the desire to walk around in our own city and reclaim it.
