In this episode, Michelle and Alex explore Baarle-Nassau, a town with a series of counter-exclaves (yes, that is a thing) in the Netherlands, and Baarle-Hertog, a town of exclaves of Belgium inside the Netherlands. If that sounds confusing, it is. Let's figure out the Baarle border irregularities together.
Episode 58 · Filmed on April 30, 2023 · Baarle-Nassau, the Netherlands & Baarle-Hertog, Belgium

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!
