WHO IS BUNCHARTED?
We’re Michelle and Alex, two Americans living in the Netherlands and sharing our life abroad. 🇺🇸→🇳🇱
We originally quit our jobs in 2020 to travel full-time, but when that didn’t go as planned, we made an even bigger leap: in 2022 we moved from Austin, Texas to the Netherlands with our two cats. 🐈
