I visited Chile for Jan – Mar 2014 in an attempt to escape Canadian winters. Was a real amazing trip. I spent most of the time based out of Santiago while visiting other cities around the coast. Was able to work remotely out of Startup Chile. It’s a very cool global entrepreneurship incubator where entrants get $40k USD to start a company in Chile. Made some great friends and business contacts and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens to the companies that mature out of the program.
Inevitably I learned a lot about wine. It’s a huge part of the culture and national commerce there. Had a chance to walk through the 2nd large vineyard in the world and sample the grapes. Would go back anytime.
