Description

In this episode, Canadian-born artist Julie Mai shares her courageous leap from British Columbia to the peaceful village of Fornalutx. She opens up about the emotional healing she found in the Tramuntana mountains, why she regrets not having a buyer’s agent during her property search, and how a trusted bank manager became an unexpected lifeline. Julie also recounts the surprisingly intense process of obtaining a Spanish driver’s licence, the challenges of renovating in a UNESCO-protected zone, and her shift from representational art to evocative encaustic painting. It's an inspiring conversation about starting over, staying open, and following your heart, wherever it may lead.
