In Part 2 of this interview, Sharon and Matt talk about their love for Chile. They discuss the Chilean poet and activist Pablo Neruda, the film Il Postino, the incredible street art in Valparaiso, and the unbelievable stargazing in the Atacoma Desert. Sharon then shares 3 separate experiences attending the “Day of the Dead” festivities in Mexico. Next, she discusses wine appreciation and traveling the world for world class wine tasting experiences. Sharon tells a story about a wine tasting experience that got interrupted during the 2019 uprising in Chile while she was there. She then reflects on the different work-travel programs she has patronized as well as the co-living spaces and hostel networks she has tried over the years, and gives recommendations and tips on which ones might be right for you. Next, Sharon tells the story of founding the “Overlap” App for digital nomads, explains its functionality and utility, and offers her future vision for the app. And, finally, she reflects on what travel means to her.
