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. 🐈 Now, we make weekly videos about what it’s really like for Americans living in the Netherlands, with food, culture shocks, travel around Dutch cities, and everyday expat life. Our videos explore daily life in the Netherlands from an American perspective. Subscribe for new videos every week!
