ROBIN PASCOE is the author of five books about global living. At the age of sixty, after stepping back as the Expat Expert, Pascoe joined her husband and son to create a brand for their family’s wildly successful global education company, Maple Bear by establishing over 200 schools in Brazil and around the world, Now, she is helping with another family project, fighting climate change in rural Costa Rica at an environmental education not-for-profit founded by her daughter.

Robin says:

• Giving credit to those that came before us is so important. We would'nt be who we are today without the work of those who came before us.

• Robin predicted the "train wreck" of social media 20 years ago. "When young people don't see the "eyes" of those they are hurting, this will be extremely damaging to society".

• It's about resilience....her experience of 'carrying on' despite an early childhood trauma of losing my mother...I credit it with finding role models of resilience, a subject I wrote about for Globe Amplify last month:  https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-amplify-why-seniors-should-share-their-stories-with-young-people/

• It's about taking on a huge challenge with https://www.maplebear.ca in our 60s and building a global brand without anyone really knowing us and ploughing money from the success of it into the new venture of Finca Cantaros....
