Met Brugge in November. Instant crush.Returned this summer… and now we’re lovers. She’s officially my favorite city in the world. No notes. 💌 We’re connected, heart and cobblestone. (Yes, Amsterdam & Brussels are also included in this carousel but Brugge is the one that matters most 💜) by @mcswain_kate
