Our Global Adventures – A Travel Video Series of Connection

There are some people in the world who simply have a compulsion to travel. People whose pulse quickens when they think about catching a train in Vietnam or riding a cable car through the Alps in Switzerland. People with an internal voice that shouts “go, explore!” whenever a place is mentioned that they’ve never been. People who would happily trade sleep and comfort and familiarity for the joy of finding themselves in a foreign country, struggling to make their mouth form the shape of foreign words.

At Global Image Creation, our team is made up of these people. The desire to travel is part of what drove our CEO and Creative Director, Jeremy Mason McGraw, to launch Global Image Creation over 15 years ago. The same wanderlust motivates and inspires our team today.

We love travel for a thousand reasons. For the food and for the landscapes and for the simple, quiet wonder of looking at the same stars from a different perspective in the world. By far our favorite reason to travel, however, is meeting other people and learning about their experiences. Whether we’re bonding with the man in Austria who designs table place settings for some of the greatest chefs in the world, or exploring a castle created by an enigmatic craftsman in Arkansas; it’s these moments that mean that we never leave our suitcases unpacked for long.

Through our work, we are fortunate enough to meet people with truly incredible stories to share. Stories that demand to be heard not just by our team, but by as many people as possible.

So, in 2018, on the 15th anniversary of our agency, we launched a new video series called Our Global Adventures. This series is a place to share the stories of the incredible people that we meet, from Michelin star chefs and celebrated restaurateurs to incredible artists.

Our Global Adventures is where we introduce the people who inspire us, and tell the stories that demand to be told.

Michelin star restaurant Nobelhart und Schmutzig - Photo: Caroline Prange

Michelin star restaurant Nobelhart und Schmutzig asks “what does Berlin taste like?”

Billy Wagner, owner of Michelin star restaurant Nobelhart und Schmutzig in Berlin, talks to Jeremy Mason McGraw about the concept behind his restaurant.

The ingredients at Nobelhart und Schmutzig are sourced almost exclusively in the Berlin region, a philosophy Wagner describes as “brutal lokal”. For Wagner and head chef Micha Schäfer, the reasons behind this philosophy are twofold. The first reason, is a recognition that the current global food model is unsustainable, and a desire to be part of the solution. The second reason, is that Schäfer and Wagner are seeking to answer the question, “What does Berlin taste like?”.

Business of Fashion
Charles Harbison and How to Become a Fashion Designer

A few years ago, I was staying at the Hacienda AltaGracia in Costa Rica before it had officially opened. Different circumstances had brought Harbison to the same hotel. As two of the only guests, we quickly began to strike up a conversation.
Despite working in different worlds, we found that we have a lot in common. We bonded in particular over the experience of growing a brand as a creative professional.

2 Michelin Star Chef Sven Wassmer 7132 Silver - Best Chefs in The World

Foraging Greatness With Two Michelin Star Chef Sven Wassmer

It’s just before 6am, and two Michelin star chef, Sven Wassmer, of 7132 Silver Restaurant, and his entire team have gathered to go foraging. The team knows they’re going to have to work long into the night, but the excitement of finding a ripe patch of blueberries or a perfect mushroom is worth waking up this early. Three times every week, the team hikes through the incredible Valley that surrounds 7132 Hotel in Vals, Switzerland, and collects berries, mushrooms, flowers, and even ants to serve at the restaurant.

Today, I’m tagging along to capture footage for a restaurant video I’m producing. As I follow the team, I notice the way that Sven’s excitement spreads to everyone here. Watching the passion that Sven and his entire team have for these foraged ingredients, it’s easy to see why 7132 Silver has two Michelin stars and 18 Gault & Millau points, without even tasting the food.

American Castle Rogues manor eureka springs arkansas twilight evening

Building an American Castle in Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Smith Treuer brought the sandcastle home with him, and he kept wearing his crown.
He went to school and learned about medieval life and his castle turned to stone and grew a guard tower and inside people danced and drank mead in a great hall. He traveled around the world, five times, and in each country his castle grew and evolved, taking inspiration from architecture in Germany, Scotland, Tibet, and Nepal. He studied gemstones and oriental carpets and textiles and his castle became more elaborate and more intricate.
