Thanks again for the comments everyone!

@Alan – Good question.

“I wonder how her children adapted psychologically and socially to the different academic environments. The interview is overwhelming positive in tone, but I imagine that there were some rough patches.”

I am sure there are some adjustments required in new countries and new schools, however I imagine the experience must have been fantastic! Everyone I know that studied abroad absolutely loved the experience.

The real amazing thing is that all four daughters, practically skipped traditional high school. That is a genius educational hack! International experience, foreign language skills, great internships AND graduating university before 21: That is a huge head start on the world!

So interesting – I wonder how her children adapted psychologically and socially to the different academic environments. The interview is overwhelming positive in tone, but I imagine that there were some rough patches.

Kudos to Maya for consolidating her experiences into a book – I look forward to reading it!

Brilliant interview Maya and John. I have lost count of how many lifestyle designers I know that are currently living in Buenas Aires. Everyone one of them seems to love it there. I will have to check it out in future too. Thanks!

I loved reading this. As a mom currently nomading in Brazil with my 3 daughters it was inspirational to read what some of the outcomes have been for Maya’s daughters’ education. It’s easy to get anxious sometimes about whether we’re doing the right thing – so this article was very affirming! Thanks

Oh wow, fantastic interview. Really inspiring (especially the different ways to get education). I’ll have to try and get in touch with Maya while I’m here in Buenos Aires! Seems like someone worth knowing!
