I interviewed Liana Zanin about the Egyptian Adventures Worldschooling Hub in Luxor, Egypt.
She shares her story of how she became inspired to start this Hub, how she worked with her adopted Egyptian family to create it, and how it is opening new opportunities for women in Egypt who are employed by it. She offers her advice to those thinking of starting a Hub and to those families thinking of joining.
We recorded this podcast in the courtyard of the Hub. The background noises include agricultural workers in the sugarcane field next door, an occasional fly, and the sound of the children and coaches playing together in the background.

For context, please listen to Episode 13 first.

This bedtime story will take you to Kyoto, Japan where Peaches, Gum Cat, Charlotte Puppy, and R2D2 explore Maruyama Park during the cherry blossom season. They search for and find a Geocache, and rest in a hammock while Peaches says the 61 points. It is a good one to listen to before bed.

This episode Ani and I explain the characters that often feature in our bedtime stories. This episode is a must before listening to episode 14 for context.

It is also a way for us to preserve the memory of our imaginary friends and characters, because as time passes they aren't mentioned as frequently.

In this episode I talk with Asha, a fellow traveling village member and a single mother by choice to Kheff, who is almost two years old. I appreciate her alternative lifestyle and hope you will enjoy listening to our conversation about traveling, worldschooling, and her touring life with the Trans Siberian Orchestra.

Cover photo from Jessica. She said MORP stands for “Montessori’s Outstanding Respectful Pupils.” Their Montessori school did a couple months of etiquette and dance lessons with the kids and it culminated in a family dance where this photo was taken.

My guest is Trace Owens. He and his wife, Ashley, and their 9 year old daughter, Erin started traveling around North America in their RV in August 2019. They left the US in March of 2022 and have been worldschooling since. In this episode you will hear the Owens’ story of how they started worldschooling, how they educate Erin, a top 10 moment, a low moment of their travels, and the work Trace does to allow them to worldschool.
