Teachers and Fire Service


I've noticed a pattern in my Baja travels. I run across lots of American Teachers and Fire Service.

I'm wondering how many of us Bajanomads fall in these categories.

Let us know if you are current, past or retired.

Me, I'm currently a High School Business/Computer Teacher in San Diego County. 13 years experience. I love my job!




No worries

Don't know if they are Baja Nomads but a lot of Orange County firemen have homes here in Punta Banda.

I have taught high school agriculture for 34 years. I don't love it as much as I once did.

current teacher of English as a Second Language at the local middle school (7th, 8th and 9th graders)in La Bocana and I agree... there are so many firemen and teachers loving Baja. We noticed that quite a few of our B&B guests were retired teachers/professors.

I also sometimes teach lower level French. Mais oui !

And in about 3 weeks I start basic conversational Spanish for those who want to pass the Citizenship test.

But really, we are both retired.

:lol::lol:

I've been teaching at an elementary school here in Washington for 21 years as both a first and second grade teacher. Before that as a Kindergarten and pre-school teacher in Northern California. I love the joy of learning that young children have...everything is new to them! I guess teachers love to travel and continue to learn (then teach about) new things.



Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!
