Santiago

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.
