One of my kids is on a 2 week program in Barcelona. - 30 teens - 4 groups broken into areas of study- business and entrepreneurship, art and architecture, Spanish language and culture, photography. - morning study and afternoon excursions - live in dorms They arent speed running tourist spots or doing the instagram check the box style of travel. They get to experience living in a new place, and learn something new and meaningful. Why arent there adult trips like this? My husband and I see empty nest in our future (4 years away, but as anyone with older kids know, time starts to fly 💨) and we talk about wanting experiences like this. @balajis.eth maybe empty nesters will be a new growth vector for network school in the future- successful semi retired adults with time on their hand but still have the burning need to go deep learning new skills, see the world, and build

"...successful semi retired adults with time on their hand but still have the burning need to go deep learning new skills, see the world, and build" and mentor and lead in unconventional environments. Some domain-oriented (finance, business, marketing, etc.) combination of Kitchen Nightmares and Doctors Without Borders. For instance, one of my friends (a former boss) lives in Slovakia part-time mentoring & helping others in that work.
