In this special (and slightly jet-lagged) episode, Dani and Giacomo record straight from Brussels, Belgium—and no, the podcast name Muscles by Brussels wasn’t inspired by Jean-Claude Van Damme. They reflect on their European travels through Amsterdam, Heidelberg, and now Brussels, sharing real talk on what it’s like to stay plant-based while abroad. They discuss the difference between travel for work vs. actual vacation, why they’re not tracking macros on this trip, how they try to weave in fitness habits without stressing, and the subtle-but-important label differences between vegan and vegetarian foods across countries.
