I’m Lau, an endless w(a)(o)nderer forced to stay in one place (Brussels, Belgium) due to the current pandemic. Which may actually not be so bad after all (not to say that it is working out pretty darn well). Thanks for visiting my blog, on which I like to share a bit of everything about everything.
