Description

When Elysia Myers and CJ Powell first set foot on Mallorca, it wasn’t part of a grand plan—but the island left a mark they couldn’t ignore. In this episode, the couple from Colorado share how a spontaneous stopover turned into a life-changing decision to buy a home in Pollensa.
With honesty and humour, they recount the ups and downs of the buying process—including a serious health diagnosis that hit mid-sale—and how the guidance of a trusted property buyer’s agent helped them stay the course. Elysia, who rediscovered her creativity through painting with wine, now hosts art workshops, while CJ recently stepped away from a senior marketing role to pursue a more flexible lifestyle.
They also discuss the realities of remote work, managing their property as a legal holiday rental, and what it really takes to begin a new chapter in a Mallorcan town.
