Travel With Me Abroad

Hello to all.  I’m very excited for the opportunity to share my upcoming adventures through Themetrip.  In the next couple of months my husband and I will be starting a new chapter in our lives with our big move to Brussels, Belgium. 
A little about the upcoming blog and myself: 
I love food! While eating breakfast I’m already talking about dinner. I will be posting notes and pictures of where we dine, what we eat and sometimes what I cook.  
I love adventures! With my husband being in the Navy, we have had and have the ability to visit and experience places all over the world.  I will post about our travels and experiences while living in Belgium.

Banking in Brussels

In the states, we bank through USAA.  USAA has been such an incredible bank for checking, savings, insurance, traveling discounts, and for their customer service.  I always say I’m going to send them a Christmas card, but I usually forget by the time Christmas comes around.  Unfortunately, they don’t offer banking and/or a credit card for military families stationed overseas without foreign transaction fees. They have plenty of great deals for military personnel while on deployment, but the same does not apply while stationed overseas.    

We decided to open a bank account in Brussels with ING. While living overseas, we also have to use an international bank to pay our local bills.  To open a bank account, one is not able to just walk into a bank and ask to open a bank account.  We went in last Thursday and made an appointment for today (Tuesday.)  In one way it’s nice that they take the time just with you and are in no hurry to rush you. In another way it’s hard to get stuff done, quickly.  We keep having to make appointments, or just have to walk in and see if the person we are looking for is there or not.   They are usually not there.

    About Nakoma

    I have always had a passion for Art.  After attending five colleges (Navy families move…a lot) I earned my BA in Art History.  I’m thinking our first few tours will be art, art, art and then food, food, food.  I will post information about the tours we do.  

    Please note, that my blog posts will not be consistent.  We have a very busy, and fun schedule ahead of us, that might limit my time to post. 


    For those who plan to follow, enjoy!

    Cheers!
