About me

Andy, born and raised in Belgium, living in Bruges, founder of Your Bruges, OR-8 (First Sergeant, US - Warrant Officer 2nd Class, UK - Adjudant, Bel) in the Medical Departement of the Belgian Army, EMT, hyperbaric physician and senior instructor, based in a unit in Bruges, last but not least a certified City Guide of Bruges.

Still eager to learn more so I can show more of the little details the city has to offer, tell about the small stories behind the facades of buildings, discovering the hidden gems it has to offer.

Andy loves to travel!

With my line of work he got to see parts of the world, but sometimes in a lesser moment. Next to two tours in Kosovo in 1999 and 2001, he was in Sri Lanka during the first months of 2005 after the tsunami on Christmas Eve 2024. With a specialisation on hyperbaric treament and diving accidents he served on naval ships as EMT for several years. 

Not only professionally he travels, also in the private life traveling is a passion. Not only London, but Rome, Florence, Edinburgh, Barcelona, New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Oxford, Windsor, Canterbury were visited.

It is during these visits Andy discovered tourism is changing, the people look for ways to get to know the area/city but preferably in an entertaining way!!!

On September 21st, 2016 the biggest adventure ever started, when Ollie was born! On December 23rd, 2020 Cooper joined the family, in January 2025 a third son is expected!
