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!

This past Wednesday it happened, after 6 months of tuning in, I find myself finally in Groningen, the city I'll be calling call home for now. Keep doing what you're doing, I'd be interested to seeing what you do next, and if there is ever a meet up, I'm sure you'll keep us posted ;)

Dordrecht is logistically easy! Ashort train ride or a nice ferry ride from Rotterdam. €2500 per month is quite expensive for a rental for most people in NL Furnished??? Tried Visserijplein market for the jalapeños? A Turkish supermarket probably has a suitable alternative. Cactus leaves are hard to get. I tried. Big tortillas are generally not sold in Dutch Supermarkets. I bought mine wholesale. Making a cruncher wrap with the biggest supermarket wraps requires 2 plus the tiny for the crunch. It just works better with really big tortillas 😅.

A huge congratulations for 5,000 subs. That's a great milestone. Can't wait to see the move to Dordrecht take place. Sounds exciting. Wife and I just got back from two weeks in the Netherlands (east: Otterlo, Ede, Maastricht) and all I can say is I fall move in love with the country every time I visit. For Dutch lessons: I have one advice: focus on speaking it regularly. My wife and I have been 'dabbling' in learning it for more than a year and it has not gone well, LOL. Looking forward to so much more from you both and again, congratulations.

@@buncharted Ede is just another large Dutch town, except it's where my wife's family is, so it's a very special place for us. There is LOTS of road and housing construction in Ede, so it's currently a bit of a mess. Otterlo is a little village that serves as a vacation getaway for families with their bungalowparks and other seasonal attractions (Heideweek!). But both border one of my favorite locations in NL: the Hoge Veluwe. One of NL's National Parks its a great way to spend the day to celebrate the Dutch landscape and its bike culture. Then the cherry on top: the Kröller Müller Museum is possibly my favorite art gallery in the world. Lots of Van Gogh works and other European modern masters in a human-scale museum surrounded by an amazing sculpture garden. Also their snack bar was sold out of the "Asian Hot Dog" so I have to go back. 🙃

Congrats on the 5.000 subs. 5k subs, 1,7k views in 2 hours is really impressive. People love you. Normal, funny, cute, interacting with viewers. I know a guy with 500+K subs. You can email him, he'll respond in a week or 2 and people love this interaction. His style is personal telling things about himself and it's like you are there at the campsite with a firepit talking as friends. But the workload is insane with all these reactions and emails. His wife is helping him answering emails but it's like a fulltime job. Smaller channels there's more interaction with the content maker and I like that. Big channels you sometimes get a response. Rarely. Uncle Roger 7 mil subs. How the hell do you manage that. No interaction anymore. Impossible. Learnng Dutch. Good luck with that. An american expat said about learning dutch. It's like european chinese. And even dutch people aren't good at it. De weg, means the road. Het weggetje means a smaller road. But I can't tell you why it's de weg en het weggetje. And not de weggetje. Het t-shirt maar de trui. The t-shirt, the sweater. Wanna learn dutch, go for it but like the opening scene of Saving private Ryan. Never give up and keep running. Fun fact, i got a 7 for my final exam dutch and a 9,7 for english. Never been to England at that time. So yea our language is weirdy complicated and we ourselves are not good at it. It makes us Dutch. We re weird. 🤣

De bossen, the forests. Het bos, the forest. Why? No clue. And bos means multiple things. Bos = forest. But it can mean a bunch of flowers. Een bos sleutels, bunch of keys and from the context of the sentence you know what the meaning is. It's like a secret code language to confuse outsiders and make make fun of them. Just kidding, we're just weird.

1:28 Make your own Dutch apple pie of course! 😉 5:03 Am I the only one who was thinking of a catsalon meal after the first sentence? 🤐 11:14 No fresh jalapeños? Wondering what went into my jambalaya yesterday then! 😅 They should have 'em, at least any decent sized Albert Heijn sells them. Been buying them in my previous hometown with a population of about 38k for many years, so Rotterdam should definitely have them as well. Other peppers will be more of an issue though, things like fresh habaneros you'd have to order online Do you also make Dutch food at home? 11:58 Coming closer then! I've been born in Gorinchem and live about 10 km from it now. Beautiful city to visit by the way, it was voted most beautiful star fort town in the Netherlands two years ago. And it's closeby as well, about 15 mins by car or 25 by train 🙂 Love your vids by the way, I'm actually seeing plenty of my own country that I haven't seen before 😬

As a Dutchie, I always use 'bruine basterd suiker' when making chocolate chip cookies. Have you tried using that to replace brown sugar? There are three different types of basterd suiker, 1) dark brown, similar to moscovado, 2) brown, which closely resembles brown sugar, and 3) white. ps. I did a quick google search to figure out why it is called basterdsuiker, turns out because it is the restproduct of regular sugar productions (so the 'undesirable restproduct'). Not dissimilar to the English meaning of bastard

Great video and congrats with the 5K subscribers Michelle & Alex 👍 Nice to hear you both moving to Dordrecht. You will be in notime in Rotterdam with the Waterbus/ Fast Ferry 🚤. At what age you both are ? Nobody did ask that question or did someone already before ? Keep up the good work 😊

All the fresh and exotic veggies or seasoning like jalapeños you can’t find in the supermarket, you can find in your local toko. I’m pretty sure Dordrecht has a few of those. Just google for toko and you’ll be alright.

Congrats on 5K, for 10k maybe a Dudok Appeltaart? ;) Dordrecht is fun alright. I happen to be there last Saturday (had to traverse the city from the Bolwerk to the station as there was no bus back it seems). Lot of antique shops. And going over the Voorstraat is always a pleasure.

Very nice Q&A. Maybe it sounds weird but I am kind of sad you are moving out of Rotterdam 🥲. I considered you practically the Vlogging Neighbors from Rotterdam Lol 😉. Also you lived in the neighborhood of De Hef where my nephew lived a lot of years on the other side (Noordereiland). However I am glad you stay in the big Rijnmond Area and Dordrecht is indeed an ideal base to take off from 😃. I really started to like your channel more and more since I found you on KZbin. Keep on making awesome videos 🙂

You might like to try an alternative form of public transportation, between Dordrecht and Rotterdam you can travel by train, bus and water bus. The water bus is reasonably fast catamaran that starts in Rotterdam city Center ( under the north side of the Erasmus bridge and ends/starts a short walk from the center of Dordrecht. It’s fast and reliable and ( for me) a great way to reset. Ihere are also stops in Ridderkerk and Alblasserdam the stop in Alblasserdam is within walking distance of Kinderdijk with its landmark windmills. If I had to guess I’d say your moving to Crispijn. If you are, act normal and don’t stand out.that means don’t buy an expensive E-bike and don’t wander out on New Year’s Eve.

@@buncharted so I think a main thing you need to get ready for already is Dordt in Stoom. Once every two years there's a weekend where all of Dordrecht is full of steam: steam boats, steam trains, steam tractors etc. Next time is 2024, don't miss it! There's a miniature fair, 19th century cosplay... it's nuts. As to simple tips: have you taken any ferries yet? Can just go with ov chipcard, even all the way to/from Rotterdam. Oh and you guys like spicy food, correct? Khorat Thai Restaurant gets seriously spicy. Its decor is very simple, but it's authentic and painfully spicy stuff, we're used to quite a bit but even their medium was almost too much for us!

in the US, brown sugar is sugar and molasses. michelle bought raw sugar before (which is definitely not brown sugar) but the basterdsuiker might be what we're looking for -- we'll have to try it out with some cookies and report back :)

Dordrecht, good choice! Such a nice old city centre and water all over the place! We live in Rotterdam and make 2-3 times a year a trip to Dordrecht by RET-ferry (and back by train). And sometimes a theatre visit. The pace of living there is really slower than in the Randstad cities, which is really nice. Congratulations! And also of course with the 5K subs! And did we miss your video about Dordrecht, or didn't you do one?
