Other than living in Baja, why are you a BajaNomad?
I like this board because of the individuality of the members and the pioneer spirit many seem to have and a sense of independence. I also feel the
need for up to date medical information to be shared to all because of the lack of consistency of medical plans between Mexico and the US.

There are affinity groups everywhere there are people. Only natural that socially mature (and others) people want to meet and discuss things with
those who have such strong common interests as where they live and or work or play especially if that common thing has the charm and challenge Baja
holds.

Baja is a magic place I have felt a connection to for most of my life. When I can't be in Baja, then Baja Nomad is the next best thing to read about
and see photos of Baja. The host of this site (Doug, BajaNomad) is a friend and I have met many new friends because of Baja Nomad. It's my nature to
share with others on what I know or have experienced, and the forum is a great avenue of idea/ information exchange.

I am more alive in Baja... and that is living! I think EnsenadaDr didn't realize most Nomads do not live most of the time in Baja and that helps Nomad
be so popular. It helps us be there when we are not there!

DK,
Well said....so ditto for me...although I have met only a half-dozen Nomads personally....most are folks I would like to spend more time with when
down in Baja.
I only get to travel south every second year or so...sometimes yearly....so this forum keeps me apprised of places, developments, road conditions,
places to eat and stay at,...... and the gossip wars.....
As David said....it is a way of keeping "in touch" when not able to be there.  
Don't believe everything you think....

I feel Bajanomad is an interactive media used worldwide, by members worldwide.
Many members are just lurkers with a dream to someday travel to the Baja peninsula.
Those members, and sometimes visitors, who eventually wish to travel to Baja, need someone's input based from the many board members who have traveled
the peninsula for many years. Those travelers can really use such advice.
Unlike Facebook, and other interactive social media, we, the members, are here to try to answer the questions of those future travelers. And, at least
in my case, I like to help anyone I can in promoting Baja.
In my travels throughout the peninsula, I have met many Bajanomads as my travels take me nearby their residence, and that alone has been an
incalculable pleasure!

If you don't, you have to send me twenty dollars each month. We call it "fantasy rental."

+1 for me. I'm a Nomad-wannabe who is in his final years of paying his dues to The Man. My post-Rat Race crash pad will be in Baja, but currently I
don't get there as often as I would like. This forum helps me to maintain the vibe without the inevitable tequila hangover.

Don't live in Baja, doubt if I'll ever return. It's a unique place. There are some interesting folks on the forum. It's nice to keep in contact and
see how things are shaking-out down there, especially the fishing which seems to be on the upswing.

65 years or so visiting and camping in Baja, and still interested in what is happening down there. Never have lived there, however, and the main
attraction for me has always been the wildness of it all, and the exploring and fishing.

Well put George, as usual. As you observe, social maturity is not a prerequisite for participation here. As one of the "others," I appreciate that
fact.

We fell in love with Baja, its people and the people who love Baja as we do. We find this board extremely helpful and its members for the most part,
very generous and down to earth. We do get a little tired of those posts like the turtle one that degrade and are tiresome......they are the ones we
choose not to follow.
This all being said.....thanks nomads for the advise, friendship and entertainment.

I live 60 mi. no. of San Diego, 1st trip was surfing San
Miguel, Ensenada, early '70's. Baja has always been a
second home of sorts, it's an esacpe now, in some ways
a step back in time. I feel more comfortable walking the
streets of Baja towns, well maybe not TJ, than in a
mall in Orange County. You ask some interesting
questions Ensenada Dr. DK, what was the name
of the Baja board before BN, run by a guy from
Huntington Beach I believe

I espeak tantito Ingles in a month.
It's good practice for me. At home sometimes I'll go longer than a year sin Ingles.
But it is embarrassing to learn that spelling English and Speaking English involves different parts of the brain. I lapse into Spanish or make syntax
errors that are frustrating. One year I went three months without benefit of the internet and utterly forget the definition of embudo. Or espejo.

The Long Bar and Blue Fox. Wow. Killed some brain cells and learned some of the secrets of life at those two places. I'm not sure I appreciated
Baja then though.
