    Ep 3R: Recap – Chile

    After a great trip to Chile, it was time to reflect on the three stops we made during nearly two weeks there.  Taylor and I talk about the experience and why Chile was such a great stop.  Although Caro didn’t rejoin us for this episode, she was a huge help to us while we were…

    #GrafNModels – South America

    Chile – Food

    < Click here for photos > I had no intention of doing another food gallery on this trip.  Like I said, we’re not real foodies.  However, we watched Netflix’s “Somebody Feed Phil” episode on Santiago and arrived with a list of places to try.  The two lodges we stayed at took their food really seriously…

    Ep 3: Chile – Caro’s Home

    This is a special episode.  When I finally thought I settled on an idea for this project, Caro was the first potential interviewee that heard about the idea.  We chatted for a while about the country and I got to hear about some of her experiences.  Almost 4-5 months after that initial conversation, we sat…
