Like many children of immigrants, Sarah heard beautiful stories of her mother’s home country of Portugal. But it wasn’t until she visited her mother’s birthplace — the Portuguese island of Madeira — that she felt an undeniable pull: this was where she was meant to be.
When fate offered her a month-long artist residency on the island, she didn’t hesitate, she leapt at the chance. The one-month residency turned into twelve years (and counting).
In that time, Sarah has experienced both the exhilaration of feeling spiritually connected to the land and the isolation of being an outsider, even while speaking the language. The highest highs and the lowest lows have shaped a deeply personal journey of self-discovery. We’re so grateful to Sarah for sharing that journey with us on this episode of the Relocurious podcast.
