Great, a magazine all about the lifestyle I lead!

Not the first, though. "High Times" and "Mad" come to mind.

Here's my contribution.

In the background, which resembles a bombed out German city in "45, is the Loreto Bay settlement.

Nice photos in that zine. I especially liked the closeup of the Yaqui tacos. I am going to get me some. :cool:

Actually, this publication would suit people who will live on the top floor of Trump's place and never leave the building. Nice, well done, slick periodical that regards adventure in Baja as trying a different guacamole at Sunday brunch. A few issues have been out and it's, so far, free. It's done well, like I said and has as a contributor a first class photographer, Doug Gould. So far he's only done architecture photography but, if he's allowed to expand his portfolio of Baja nature shots, the magazine will benefit by them.
Anyway, they don't know me but, they owe me lunch at Sharky's for saying all this stuff.

I would pay money for a free magazine with the Yaqui tacos recipe in it!

In all seriousness, Thora does a great job putting the magazine together. I am a fan!

Thank you! Keep the input coming!


Thank you, everyone for the comments, phone calls and, Geoff, for the compliments. I'll work on more relevant, pertinent articles and that Yaqui taco recipe! Doug's nature shots are slated for upcoming issue(s). I thought the Baja Travesia article presented a bit more adventure than guacamole!!?? Must have missed that one!?

In all honesty, I need most help with ad sales so we can keep publishing. But I also need some help on stories about Baja destinations like Loreto (Vandenburg) and medical care in Baja...the new proposed port at Punta Colonet, environmental issues, adventures and exploration, fascinating stories, etc.

And let me know of places we need to put the magazine for you and your neighbors (and maybe you want to help distributing too)!

Thanks Thora...I guess I was being a little over-critical. Like I said, I like what I see.
Would you be accepting freelance from Nancy Conroy? Perhaps a staff position? Taco recipes are good but we need a little more spice in our lives.

Wait a minute...Are you Nancy Conroy?


Edit for afterthought

So what are you paying for pictures, stories about environmental issues, adventures and exploration, fascinating stories, etc.?

Or is this just for fun?
FREE??

Dude...give her a break


This magazine targets the kinds of folks we need more of. They have money. They spend money.

More taco tourists we don't need.

Wow, this could keep one busy all day!


I am NOT Nancy Conroy!

My intent is to bring the good news to those who live, want to live or need to know more to seriously consider moving to Baja. I am avoiding controversy (at least until I get established) so probably will not be employing Nancy (sorry Nancy), especially after the words she used to describe this type of publication..."crap" was the most kind...as she told me I would fail completely (put far more colorfully, I assure you).

I will pay contributors what I can afford to while I am enduring and trying to survive a tough economy and even tougher media attention. Anyone interested in contributing, please contact me so we can see what we can work out.

Taco tourists can sometimes become lifelong Baja supporters and bring those that DO have the $ to invest. We need all kinds. The money will come. Baja is too beautiful to not become a flourishing retirement and tourism destination when things turn around north of the border.

She, or one of her alter-egos, should be along shortly to join the conversation.

Thora: you wouldn't be related to Thor Hiney of Hiney Wines would you? I believe Trader Joes used to carry it.
