WHO IS BUNCHARTED?
We’re Michelle and Alex, a travel-obsessed American couple living abroad in the Netherlands.
In 2020, we quit our jobs to travel the world, and… yeah, that didn’t happen. So in 2022, we decided to make an even BIGGER change, packing up our lives (and our cats 🐈), moving from Austin, Texas, to Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. Subscribe for new videos like this every week!

Beleef me go on 5 mei to city zwolle big's bevrijding festival from the Nederlands and Fantastic food and drinken atmosfear great you love it.
And great old History city, and Michelin 3 star restaurant in the top 50 world. And lot of Top restaurant in Nederland.
You 2 have to mutch money
You know Haribo is a German company, right? Maybe get over there and visit the company in person?
It's great you're making the most of your time in Europe. One of the perks is how easy it is to go to lots of different countries!
Also yeah, Dutch winters can be a bit grueling, it sometimes feels like it's just grey for months on end. We've been going to the Canary Islands for many years in winter for this reason, but lately we've been going to Portugal instead, which is also very nice. So there's a tip for you!
Down the boulevard along the beach are some excellent restaurants. Prepare to wait because these are very popular with the locals.
Hey Alex and Michelle, The Canary Islands are really popular for Western-European tourists but I think Gran Canaria most and Tenerife second and Lanzarote is more for the rugged nature lovers 🙂 What I would look forward to is your guys opinion on the food (what do you like best) and what you were most amazed by versus what was your expectations and what turned the island out to be 😉 Enjoy your vacation 🙂
The winter in areas in the USA can be harsh too. Luckily, I drive everywhere and so won’t have to stay in it for too long. I loved Tenerife as well, although it probably has a lot more tourists than Lanzarote.
Yes, do some more f these videos, I love them!
if you like watching planes, you should check out the aviodrome in Lelystad (NL).
There you can walkaround a Boeing 747 (much larger than the Boeing 737 you watched overhead).
Or go to Schiphol to the "Panoramaterras" where a old Fokker 100 is put on the roof. And you can see the big planes from a small distance.
You didn't go to Timanfaya National Park?
The fact that you don't even pronounce Lanzarote correctly but are giving advice is painful.
That famous “airport beach” is technically in the Netherlands. Only in the dutch Caribian on the isle of St Maarten. You can travel there without visa since it is the netherlands
