While most people dread the process of looking for a new home, there are those out there who just can’t seem to get enough of watching others go through it. Maybe it’s that they have a slightly higher budget, or maybe it’s the fact that all the boring legal and paperwork parts are edited out with the magic of television, but runaway hit programs like House Hunters and House Hunters International have taken the ‘DIY,’ ‘Home and Garden’ crowd by storm. Each show follows a buyer through three separate homes in exotic locales (for the International version anyway) and then has them elect from the top choices. The average person sitting in his or her suburban home can then enjoy living vicariously through the house hunter, seeing which places he or she would pick for him or herself, and daydreaming about how nice it would be to have the time, money and of course energy to do something similar for him or herself.Locations explored by the international house hunters of House Hunters International range from beach homes in places like the Caribbean or Panama, to jungle getaways in remote locations like Costa Rica, or European wine wonderlands or vast country estates in places like France or Scotland. In these locations where most of us only dream of visiting one day, these people are able to either afford a second home, or even make the move permanent. There is a fantasy element to the show for some, and possibly even an inspirational element for others, that allows an HD TV screen to transform into a mini personal adventure, whether it is merely a daydreaming type of adventure or one that someday comes to fruition.One of the great advantages of experiencing and opening up the world through satellite TV is checking out all the international destinations and locations there are to explore.
