Geocaching HQ staff attend dozens of Mega and Giga-Events around the world, shaking hands, sharing stories of adventure, and of course, geocaching. Cindy P (Frau Potter) is Director of Community at Geocaching HQ. She recently traveled to Belgium to attend the Welcome to Belgium Mega-Event. Here’s her trip recap.

There is a common saying among geocachers: “The best finds are other geocachers.” I experienced this first hand at the Welcome to Belgium Mega-Event (GC7TT10) in Rotselaar, Belgium. The event, hosted August 31, 2019 by Birre’s Camper Friends, has grown over the years from a group of geocachers who travel with motorhomes, caravans, and tents. As the group of friends grew bigger and bigger, they decided to host their own Mega-Event. This year, about 100 motorhomes arrived from all over Europe for the event, along with geocachers that participated just for the day.
