House Hunters International: Bangor, Wales

After Relena was offered a fellowship at Bangor University, she and her husband, Israel, relocated to northwest Wales. Now these two ecologists are searching for a home on a grad school budget. Israel's seeking a serene space to work on his dissertation, take afternoon hikes and cultivate a vegetable garden. But Relena's planning to bike to school each day and a manageable commute may trump her desire for a rural lifestyle. Faced with incongruous priorities and a fast moving market, someone will have to bend. House Hunters International communes with nature in Bangor, Wales.
