Tifany and Nathan always dreamed of living abroad, and a teaching job offer in Saint-Germain-En-Laye, France, is making it a reality. Without any family nearby to pitch in with childcare for their toddler son, Thompson, they have new expenses to keep in mind and a small budget to work with as they look for a place to call home. Tifany is focused on practical amenities for day-to-day life, but Nathan wants to return home from his pharmaceutical job on the road to a place with authentic French charm.
