Air date: Mar 22, 2013

Kim lived in Iceland as a teenager and never thought she would return, but when Iceland's financial crisis threatened her parent's non-profit business, she and husband Andy agreed that moving back to Reykjavik to help her parents might also be the perfect opportunity to help themselves. So, sick of the daily grind, the couple trades their hot summers for hot springs, set on finding a Texas-sized house in Reykjavik for themselves and their young son. But there aren't many apartments opening up, and when they do become available, they're gone the same day. With the pressure mounting to secure a family-friendly space fast, Kim and Andy will need to find a way to fulfill their big Texas dreams in the badlands of Reykjavik, Iceland.
