House Hunters International

A Second Chance in The Netherlands Capital of Amsterdam (59x7)

Air date: Oct 17, 2013

A new job in Amsterdam has Californians Robert and Mary Jo Sandholm ready for a fresh start. After a bike accident forced Robert to stop working for seven years, Mary Jo stepped up and became the sole breadwinner for their family of six. Now that Robert's ready to return to the workforce as a Europe based marketing director for his company, he's excited to repay Mary Jo for helping him get back on his feet. She not only gets to return to the stay at home mom role she wants to fill, but Mary Jo also has the chance to recreate her childhood in the process. Growing up in the Irish countryside, she had an idyllic upbringing and she would love nothing more than for her family to have a similar experience in the Netherlands. The only problem with Mary Jo's dream, is the countryside is far from Robert's office and with his plan to cycle to work daily, finding the right balance of country charm and convenience, with space for their four young children, could be a challenge for real estate agent Roz Fremder. Find out if quaint will put practicality out to pasture, as House Hunters International and the Sandholms find a whole new outlook in the Netherlands capital of Amsterdam.
