Trevor and Judy Hill left their life in Phoenix, Arizona to chase something bigger: freedom. What began as daydreams during the 2008 financial crisis became an extraordinary reality—more than six years living aboard their Oyster yacht, Intrepid, sailing across oceans, joining the Oyster World Rally, and visiting 40–50 countries along the way.
In this episode, Helen sits down with Trevor and Judy to explore what life is really like at sea, how travel reshaped their relationship and priorities, and why—after seeing so much of the world—they chose Mallorca as the place to build their next chapter.
They share the honest thinking behind choosing village life in Alaró, and what it takes to buy property in Spain as foreigners—patience, persistence, and learning that “the first thing is no”.
If you’ve ever dreamed of moving to Mallorca (or reinventing your life entirely), Trevor and Judy’s story will leave you inspired—and better prepared.
