In August 2018, Elena went back to Belgium, originally with the idea of going back to Chile. Soon, however, we decided to move to Belgium together, and Felipe followed in September.
We spent the first few months living with Elena’s parents, until we found our own place in Leuven. Now it was Felipe’s turn to get to know Elena’s life in Belgium, and Felipe was able to reunite with old friends who he got to know in Chile but who had moved back to Europe.
