Air date: Jul 15, 2013

Sarah has a wealth of experience as a world traveller and expat. Born in the US, she's lived in 6 countries throughout her 27-year career, and is no stranger to airports, hotel rooms, and duty free shopping trips. Now with her current job in London winding down, she's eager to take a break from the grind and finally find a place to call her own. With a deep love of nature, animals, and the ocean, Sarah's decided that the world's greenest country, Costa Rica, is the right place to settle down, plant some roots, and raise her brand new puppy. So with good friend Steve in tow, she sets out along the Costa Rican countryside to try to find an eco-friendly, dog-safe, oceanside abode?on a budget. But with a lanky wish list and a low tolerance for trade-offs, how far will $300,000 go in paradise?
