Hi, I’m Jenny, the founder of Freelancers in Belgium. I started this community because freelancing changed my life for the better—and I want more people to have the information, support, and confidence to do the same.
How Freelancers in Belgium started
When I began freelancing in Belgium, there wasn’t much practical support—especially not in English. I started asking questions in a small Facebook group to figure out how to set up and run my business. Those conversations snowballed. Today, Freelancers in Belgium is a thriving, diverse community of one-person business owners from all over the world who work—and build their lives—here in Belgium.
Who this community is for
Our community is English-first so that people from different language backgrounds can learn together. Many members are native Belgians who choose to join because they value a modern, inclusive, internationally minded space. Whether you’re Dutch-, French- or English-speaking, if you’re curious, open and keen to share what works, you’ll feel at home.
Why I’m passionate about this
Freelancing improved my life in concrete, everyday ways:
- New friends and a positive, solution-oriented network.
- No more clock-watching or dreading Mondays.
- Creative freedom: when I have an idea, I can execute it.
- Personal growth and confidence, which opened doors to richer experiences.
Freelancing isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. My goal is to help you make an informed choice—so you can decide if it’s right for you now, later, or not at all.
How we help
We focus on clear, practical support grounded in real experience:
- Community wisdom: answers from people who have walked the same path.
