WHO IS BUNCHARTED?

We're Michelle and Alex, two American expats living abroad in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱

In 2020, we quit our jobs to travel the world, and... well, that didn't happen. So in 2022, we decided to make an even BIGGER change: to pack up our lives (and our cats 🐈) and move to the Netherlands from Austin, Texas (in the United States). Subscribe for new videos like this every week!
