Hey my name is Kevin and I am moving to Ghent in August with my girlfriend. She is Belgian and grew up in Ghent. I have not seen anyone on this forum or in any other forums who seem to live there so I was really hoping to get in touch with some people from the area!
Hope to hear from someone in the future!

Hi Kevin,

I'm Gabriel from Montreal, Canada and currently live in Ghent. It is a nice city. Very charming! I have been here since March. Moved for the same reasons as you except that I am no longer with my girlfriend. Anyways, I am always looking to make new friends. I look forward to hear from you.
