Recent college dropout from Antwerp, Belgium. I'm 18 and came to the realization that I don't want to/can't live the life people expect me to live. I'm basicly lost and it has been a childhood dream to travel around the world and to do whatever I want.

Oh man the punk scene here is great, especially in Antwerp there's this one small venue where a lot of touring bands play, but I'm especially proud of our local scene. It's very underground tho, but they still manage to have like 4 shows a week.

nice, is there any squats, infoshops, or other places you think foreigners could plug into the community?

I am going to say what I always say to new people who are new to traveling. Be patient, don't force the adventure, allow it to unfold. Don't get narrow minded and only focus on big cities for adventures, it is the little unpopular and un-kewl cites to me that hold the most splendor and wonder.

I could go on and on but I suspect you get the point. I want to welcome you to STP. I wish you nothing but the best of luck in your new adventure.....

There's an anarchist library/information centre in Ghent, seems like their website seems to have a lot of information, also linking other organisations. https://anarchistischkollektief.wordpress.com/english/
I'm only aware of 3 political squats atm:
't Landhuis, Ghent (https://tlandhuis.wordpress.com/linx/)
Kraaiennest, Ghent (https://enkraaiennest.noblogs.org/)
Kré-aktion, Liège (https://www.facebook.com/Kré-Action-975939079149717/)

How have you been doing?

Just been chilling, working on music mostly. Was travelling for half a year which is the longest stretch ive done so far (roughly 10 countries). Went to visit my parents to continue north afterwards, but got stuck here due to lockdown ::wtf::. Now shits opening up again so i guess that's my cue to head out again
