Have you checked out through immigration laws if you’re allowed to work, not being a citizen, or whether there are certain requirements to meet? In every city, some people rent out a room in their home. This would be a start.

Brussels is a very international city. There are major European Union offices here. It is the location of the headquarters of many international companies as well. There are close to 1/4 million native English speakers living there. Here are some job resources:

Since tourism is a part of the economy, may service jobs require English as well. Though it is best if you can also speak French or Flemish.
