In March 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic put the world on hold. All sectors have been impacted with the tourism industry more so than others. We realised that travelling abroad would be limited for a while and that the world would have to travel more locally, within the Belgium borders. Where might one travel to? And what is there to do? Where are Belgium’s hidden gems? And most importantly, how do I search for them? Our research to find the rare gems of our country has revealed the wonderful beauty of authentic places, too often unknown. This is how “Find Your Nest” was born, an online platform linked to an Instagram account collecting the finest “Nests” Belgium has to offer, that deserve all our attention both nationally but also internationally. It’s out of love for our country, and the search for refinement and authenticity that we are discovering the “hidden gems” of Belgium and building a genuinely curated selection of independent hotels. The Selection's Standards Hotel type: Independent or family owned hotels Small and local hotel groups Bed & Breakfast General atmosphere: What makes us want to discover them Conviviality: Feeling at home, with this joy of being together and sharing some quality time Harmony: Where every detail belongs to the global aesthetic and design Authenticity : The genuine and true character of the place and of its hosts
