Finally moved to Todos Santos, but don't know anyone...
I've been visiting Todos Santos for 20+ years but had to work, etc., etc. Finally, just decided I could have my dreams and did it 3 weeks ago...but
have lost touch with people I once knew here. I'm single, a hiker, adventurer, explored Baja for years with Graham MacIntosh, Norm Roberts, Marv
Patchen, and more..., love adventure - would like to meet some folks here.

Sounds like you have some great stories to tell (or keep)? The Baja book authors are some really great people... in person as well as in reading!
Best wishes in putting down your roots in Todos! I hope you can reconnect with old friends here or make new ones!

David,
Thank you for your response! I have been an adventure travel guide for several years (southern Africa, and Baja). I'm working on a trip for a few
people this winter on the Clemente Guillen trail from Agua Verde south. Your website is outstanding! I'd like to talk to you about the missions if
you wouldn't mind...my email is timelessjourneys@gmail.com and website: www.timelessjourneys.net

Cool! Put it out there, girl! Generally, good people here. Even the curmudgeons are not evil; just argumentative on certain days.
etc, etc.? Oh, do tell! LOL!
People of our age havent lived, if they dont have a few et ceteras in their lives. I'm nearly 62.
I think you have great natural beauty, to go with your natural interests.
If you've just moved to your new place, it might be time to take stock on what you do, in the event of a hurricane. 'Tis the season, of course. How
will you secure your house and where will you evacuate to, if it becomes necessary? A couple are brewing, as I write. Their probability at hitting TS
is rather low........right now. But this is expected to be a busy season.
That's probably priority #1, if you haven't provided for it. With your background and interests, the friends will come quickly, I would think.

Meeting people
Have an open house with food and beer. Plenty of people will show up, probably even a few Nomads

Don''t know about social gatherings in Todos but know there's ALWAYS something social going on around art galleries. Intro yourself to Michael Cope
(ask around for his gallery) -- he's a good person to know.
And check out Baja Beans in Pescadero. Always social things happening there esp. on Sunday.
You've made a fantastic move -- Todos, Pescadero, Cabo has good people and weather except for those pesky hurricanes.
bajaguy's suggestion is a good one. Tapas and beer, folks from the neighborhood, stores you visit (bookstore, Que Rico (see Deborah).
Todos will be home in a short period of time. It's a small community -- and if you're an artist, or like art, you're home free.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Deb,
Welcome aboard.....
Food and beer? Sounds like a Welcome Wagon concept of sorts....but in reverse.
I appreciate the offer of such vittles....how long would a guest be welcome for?
I have a month planned but no reservations yet....

Careful Deb, there are all sorts of unsavory characters lurking in the shadows of Baja Nomad, talk to me before you befriend someone like ged, I have
stories and pictures to back them up
Welcome to Nomads, looking forward to getting to know you....

Personally
I would not be broadcasting on a public forum the fact that you are a woman, alone in Todo Santos and publicizing your photo. You are setting
yourself up for, what could be, a bad situation.

Just another suggestion:
Go to the website http://www.bajawesternonion.com
They list all major events in the Todos Santos area, plus a lot of other great information.

Great suggestions, everybody! Thank you!
And, once I move into my long-term house on August 1, I will have the beer and munchie party - anyone like to be invited, I'll need your name and
email address. Send to me at: timelessjourneys@gmail.com

It's kind of slow during the summer months, but the rest of the year there are plenty of activities in the area where you can meet folks. yoga, Zumba,
art walk, surf schools, wine tastings, etc.. You can also volunteer for good causes like the Palapa Society, or Hogar del Niños. The Western Onion is
a good suggestion, I often see people posting there looking for hiking or biking partners.

What, no pickleball?
Come on, somebody has to kick off the craze in TS. A very addictive sport. Aren't there any tennis courts you can convert?

If Ged comes to visit...lock up your cats! jejejeje...look up Tomas in Pescadero..he's a Nomad and a good sort who can show you the TS ropes! Enjoy
your new home but beware of the storms and make sure you are in a safe place with lots of supplies!

Deb,
My post was mostly in jest (not the "welcome aboard" part )
DT Bushpilot is a gentle and intelligent guy, so I rarely disagree with him (plus, he's bigger than me).....we managed a week together riding
motorcycles in Baja and somehow survived each other's company.....read all about it and see a few nomad faces:

I'm envious that you took the plunge! I'm personally a few years from doing the same, but have already settled on the Todos Santos area. The Baja
Western Onion (http://www.bajawesternonion.com/ is the website, but be sure to sign up for the newsletter, which is sent out twice a week) is an excellent
resource, as is Pescadero Life and the ubiquitous Gringo Gazette. Summer is definitely a sleepy season, but there's still plenty to do. Enjoy!
