House Hunters International are looking for expats in Taiwan for a TV show
Do you want to be part of a show?
Sometimes I get emails from various people and companies asking me to write about their product or let them guest post here. I usually decline. But yesterday a TV producer from America got in touch with me by sending me the following email, which I agreed to publish here, because I won't participate in the show, but I'd like to help her (see the video above to get an impression of the show). If any of you would like to join, read through the email and check the details I provided at the end:
Dear MKL,
I found your details on your blog, I hope you might be able to help me with my strange request!
I am a Producer working on a television show called House Hunters International which follows English speaking expats in their quest to purchase a house abroad. I am hoping to find English speaking expats to profile who are living in Taiwan. I wonder if you or any of your expat contacts might be interested in getting involved?! Please find a little blurb about the show below:
House Hunters International is a half-hour program currently airing on the Home and Garden Television Network (HGTV). The program is a spin-off of the popular House Hunters and has spent the last several seasons exploring the idiosyncrasies of buying real estate in other countries. HHI is about a personal journey of discovery and the making of life-long dreams.
The series is designed to de-mystify the international home-buying process by going behind the scenes of a house hunt where buyers and their real estate agents tour 3 homes. At its core, House Hunters International is a travel show concentrating on the idiosyncrasies of the locales and what makes them special and different. A great deal of effort will be made to capture rich visuals and to provide sequences where viewers will be exposed to local vistas, traditions, lifestyles and architecture.
Please get in touch if you have any more questions about the show. I look forward to hearing from you!
Best wishes and many thanks,
Michelle
So if you're an English speaking expat in Taiwan and looking for a house, get in touch with Michelle. Her email is: MichelleJames[at]leopardfilms.com. Good luck :)

I only watched a few episodes of the original show, loved it! This is even better! I want to see how an apartment looks in other countries! By the way, I speak American English and I did plan to buy a place in Taiwan.......but I have camera shy!

@Hsin-Yi: Oh, maybe you can sponsor me a house in Kenting, then I may do the show ;)

Good show for real estate investment too. Maybe we can get to know more about house prices etc in other countries as well.
By the way- where's your Sonia post? I don't find it anywhere!

@Joan: Yes, you're right. Oh, I moved it few days back, scroll down, click on older posts.
