Michael C. Young

I cannot believe the similarities this show has to my own life. Right after our Mediterranean honeymoon in 2008, we packed our belongings and moved to rural Tennessee from urban Ohio. We do not have children (only fur horse, dog, cats), our family thinks we are crazy, no farming, but surrounded by it as we lived on two properties so far (1000 acre cotton field and 200 acre lake front). My wife hyphenates her name, but I do not. The kicker was (can't remember episode) when Rio expressed her last name which is Levine. It caught my attention because my real last name is Iacovine. I thought to myself, "that's kinda coincidental". Then her next phrase was her husbands name as MIKE YOUNG. My wife and I looked at each other in disbelief because... that is my name. We kinda freaked and said, "Someone has been following us and now they made a TV shoe about our adventure"!!!
