Monday I payed a visit to Partago, a innovative car-sharing network in Gent. Joachim the owner invited me to stay at his house which is one of the most sustainable houses I’ve ever been.

Tuesday I wanted to visit Spilvarken but due to a miscommunication it didn’t go through but I interviewed myself about the project. I did interview Bubblepost, a company who want to make transport greener.

Later that day I stayed in Heverlee, where I used to life for 6 years as a kid.
