INSPIRATION
We’re featured on House Hunters International
Our episode of House Hunters International is set to air at last. It feels like we’re almost famous, no seriously, the blog is already expanding with new readers (ciao to you if you are new here). Friends that have been reading along from the very start are sharing all over the place and my Mum is trying to figure out how to view our House Hunters International episode in Australia.
Renovating Italy is about to go International……House Hunters International (click on this link for air times and date)
You might have read about our adventures with the crew from House Hunters International back in December. I think we are one of the few families to be featured at Christmas…and yep complete with snow. Well we have an air date for American viewers (July 27th) and once the episode has aired we will be sent a copy. Hopefully we wont be cringing, and will find a way to let you all see the episode asap.
I can’t wait to see the finished product, and find out which house we bought ……. I seriously fell in love with the wrong house.
Our House Hunters International Audition Video
We were asked to send in a 4 minute audition video (see below), did a skype call with the producer and had five days of filming in total.
Luckily we’re not shy, I was doing wardrobe changes in the car and in the end just thought ‘Oh well this is us, no make up and totally exhausted towards the end’…..
I figure that if we tried to act in some way that wasn’t us then why bother, we want people to see that dreams are possible and changing country can be the best thing you ever do.
So much has happened in the nine months since our House Hunters International episode was filmed. We have purchased further property in the borgata to renovate. Buying the ‘White House’ right next to ours was a lucky break, and came with outbuildings and land. We aim to have it ready for friends and guests to visit come 2015.
In the meantime I hope you are able to enjoy our House Hunters International episode.
Thanks again to all involved you made the entire experience priceless.

Just saw the episode. Love your sense of adventure. How did you find your real estate agent or was she provided by the show?
Are you close to a train station?
Ciao Kevin, it was lots of fun to make and took five days of filming. The agent was supplied by the show as our local agents didn’t speak enough English. We have a bus that comes into the village and then connects to the town of Pinerolo which is about 30 mins drive from our house. Pinerolo has a train station that connects to Turin. So even though we are very rural here in the Valley we can easily get to major cities. It really is a touch of paradise for us.
great to meet you
