In this episode, Michelle and Alex explore the provincial capital of Zeeland -- Middelburg. Come along for a day with the city's beautiful Park Toorenvliedt, amazing local seafood (but sadly, no Zeeuwse mosselen), and a full tour of their luxurious, renovated water tower (watertoren) accommodation.

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!
