House Hunters International: Down by the Seaside in Hoi An, Vietnam

Almost twenty years ago, Natalie Devoy felt the overwhelming urge to flip the script on her quiet life in Northern Ireland. The relaxed pace had lost its luster and she made the bold decision to travel the globe. After stops in Europe along the way, Natalie finally found herself smack in the middle of energetic Hue, Vietnam, parlaying her hospitality background into teaching at a tourism school. In her time in Hue, she grew to love the vibrancy of the city but now she is coming full circle, returning to another sleepy fishing village, this time in Hoi An, Vietnam. She's going back to a lifestyle that she abandoned and it's all in the name of love for her fiance Julien. They met in Hoi An, where he runs a restaurant, and now it's where they want to own their first home together. The only issue is that in order to get Julien his coveted beach access at their $50,000 budget, they may have to settle on something decidedly dated, which will not please Natalie.
