​It felt like coming home at the Reismarkt in Brugge. Exactly 1 year ago, I was there together with my friend Maaike to present the concept of the Wanderbelt for the first time to the public. And what a great response we received back then! It was the big boost I needed to proceed. And now, dozens of home sewn prototypes later and a year full of fine tuning, development and production challenges, Wanderwave was back in Brugge, this time for real!

Those with a keen eye might have spotted that last time my little daughter was discreetly present, hence the slightly oversized Wanderwave t-shirt I got made back then to fit my pregnant belly... This time however, I left her home to play all day with daddy. My favorite auntie Marianne joined to support me at the Wanderwave booth. Being a passionate traveler herself, Marianne enthusiastically helped me to explain the Wanderbelt to the +4000 visitors of the Reismarkt. We almost had no voice left by the end of the day :-)

Plenty of visitors remembered our product presentation from last year, and were happy that this time they could purchase the Wanderbelt on the spot. With a special promotion price and the chance to win a free Wanderbelt at the end of the fair, we managed to attract a lot of visitors. Never before we sold so many Wanderbelts in one day :-), a new record has been set! 

​More than 250 people participated in the ‘Win a free Wanderbelt’ contest at the Reismarkt in Brugge on the 6th of March 2016. At the end of the day, a cute little boy picked out the winning ticket and made someone very happy! It was Liselore from Ghent who walked away with a brand new Wanderbelt. On her next trip she will be able to keep her valuables safe with the most comfortable, practical and discreet money belt, especially designed for travelling women :-) Congratulations Liselore!

You can't have a stand at a Travel Fair without having candy to hand out! My neighbor at the Reismarkt in Bruges asked me where I got my candy made... Well, they are all home made! By now I became an expert at making our little signature candy bags, filled with orange (of course!) sugar coated Belgian chocolate mini dragees. But I admit, as you can see, this time I got a little helping hand from our little one... ;-) 

​Is all this candy talk making you 'hungry' for information on how the fair worked out for Wanderwave? Fully detailed post will follow!
