FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF BAJA, MEXICO

Welcome to Baja, Mexico! Today we're winding our way through both Baha California and Baja California Sur, the two states that make up Mexico's Baja Peninsula. While this isn't our first trip to Mexico, it is our first time in this region of the country and we're already in love with the beauty and kindness of the people and landscape. From fish tacos to blue waters and sandy beaches to amazing wildlife, Baja has it all and these are our first impressions of this amazing Mexican gem.

Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

I mentioned it before but I’m really enjoying season 6 of your channel. Music, b-roll, storytelling it’s all been elevated!! I appreciate all the work you two put into your videos!

[@photomatt2000]

This is one of the best videos I have seen on Baja. I love the way yall go to the local places.

[@chrisandsara]

Wow! Thank you so much for those kind words Matt! Hope you're doing well.

[@LiliHugoUM]

Beautiful BAJA CALIFORNIA!!! 🎉

[@HayleyandJake]

We shipped our van over to the mainland right before semana santa started last year! It made for a wild first week on the mainland 😂😆 we love the footage you captured of baja, and we very much agree that the Mexican family culture is very special 🥰

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Such a great video guys! Baja is a blast... we were there last year but didn't film it and we already can't wait to go back 😀

[@brynnflaherty1277]

This is a beautiful series thus far. Can’t wait to keep following along!

[@sophiatheisen565]

baja california is heaven on earth. i’ve never yearned to go back somewhere more

[@EarthRoamingAdventures]

We got the full experience of amazing Mexico , crazy Christmas festival's ,camped in a junk yard witnessed a shoot out ,talked to two different couples post kidnapping ,evaded a car jack and had some of the best hospitality ever.. Can't wait to go back.

[@jtjtrs8806]

So jealous 😫 tacos and beautiful beaches 😮❤

[@shaygreene2473]

My kid was terrified of the pelicans in Mexico. It was our first time seeing them in the wild. One minute she was in the water. I blinked and she was on the sand. 😂

[@chrisandsara]

😂 poor thing!! Those pelicans are huge so I think her fear was rational. lol

[@theresemuckel]

This video was amazing, can't wait for the next one!

[@truestory923]

Thank you for your style of sharing. My first time watching and I can’t wait to see your past and future videos!! I like your focus.

[@braddelander7026]

Great photography and well done👍👍 de La Paz😃😎😎

[@NoOverhead]

What a great adventure! Can't wait to follow along. Safe travels, friends!

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks so much! Glad you're here!

[@SamandKelly]

Welcome to Baja!! The broll and graphics are sooooo good 🙌🏻

[@Stickerbob11]

Loved the opening footage

[@darlingcat]

Great music choice and love the cuts on rhythm

[@chrisandsara]

Thank you so much!

[@hectorhernandez3295]

Greetings From Austin Texas!❤

[@watdahek2]

All the beaches between Santa Rosalia and Loreto are just beautiful. We have visited Loreto twice in the last 4 years and I would just love living there someday. What town was that little camp site/private property?

[@PFJ7]

Wow I never knew how far those mountains went!!

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Wow! Fantastic video guys. The shots at the water and underneath plus the drone shots were stunning! Looking forward to this adventure. Great job guys! ~Cara 😊 (Maybe Kramer needs boots 😂😂😂)

[@dougsfan9984]

Amazing

[@BarelySqueakinBy]

Hey, we just found your channel. Super stoked to see someone else on the Pan-American highway. We are in mainland Mexico near Puerto Vallarta. Hopefully we cross paths somewhere along the journey. Safe travels.

[@luizleitao1775]

The presentation image (thumbnail) you did for this video is very beaultiful. The one for the vídeo on packing preparations two weeks ago (view from the top), was also excellent! It looks like you are becoming good designers too!

Baja California, Mexico

[@carlosallamas]

Hello guys good video. I RECOMMEND FOR YOU GUYS TO GO TO. AGUA VERDE. IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES THAT MAKE YOU GO WOW. IS A REALLY SPECIAL PLACE. YOU CAN ⛺️ BY THE BEACH AND IS FREE. ENJOY YOUR TRIP..❤

[@birdden4x4ambulanceoverland]

Free camping down on the beach near the light house in mulege

[@2ndSprings]

Kramer saying, "No Hablo English" cracked me up! Simple mind, simple pleasure, eh? Maybe we'll wave at you in Ecuador if you are super slow travelling. Be safe!

[@oscarpena7285]

You guys are great, a way better than Mexicans showing Mexico in videos, well done showing this unknown parts of Mexico. Thank you. 🇲🇽🤝🇺🇸

[@Square-ow7oq]

No, mames. No te van a poner mas atencion por decir esas pendejadas, malinchista. Puedes darles un cumplido sin hablar mal de alguien mas, no sabias?

[@brandonleon4068]

Guys u decided to visit north desert part of Mexico in the most hottest season in the country 🤣🤣. I don't live in the north of Mexico and yet i suffer the weather everyday, cant imagine how's it over there. Since you're in your way to the south, make sure you cross the rainforest states before or after june-july bcs mexico rains like Noa's second coming JUST in the center and rains in Mexico are just whimsical. Hope you (again) pass a good time in Mexico ♥️ will u take a time in Mexico City?

[@RebelCowboysRVs]

Happy Easter

[@chrisandsara]

Happy Easter!

[@storres1368]

🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@martylovejoy]

Side note: love those sunnies Sara!!!

[@chrisandsara]

Thank you! ☺

[@jahirhernandez8743]

try fish tacos with pico de gallo and mayonesa cream!

[@malimish]

Maybe you know this, maybe not. Maybe you don't care but I will say this. Like fish vs fishes. Cacti is for multiple plants of the same species while cactuses are multiple of various species.

[@malimish]

Also Semana Santa is crazy like that in just about in every latin American country all the way down!

[@audiomxr]

I think there should be some sort of "taco counter" for this trip. By my count, you're already at 2. I'm certain there will be many more. You could invite viewers to guess how many you'll visit, and whoever guesses would get some friendfolk coffee.

[@jezzie1965]

Those are the real Californias

[@chrisandsara]

🤙

[@LianeOshier]

Where did you get your flag stickers?

[@wavvycrockett]

See you when you get here to Belize.

[@chrisandsara]

Can't wait! Send us some recommendations to our email or on our Instagram!

[@jayjones2394]

Very nice video, but why not put names to the towns and beaches?

[@chrisandsara]

We will :) this was just an overall experience

[@toes325]

Curious why you don't mention a word about where you camp or eat or shop or anything?

[@chrisandsara]

This was an overview video. Didn’t feel the need for this specific video. We often share a lot of information on but for this specific video it was more about the “story”

[@contento66]

What is with the constant description going on during this video? We can see what's happening, why does everything need to be described again after the fact? Video of Pelicans diving for fish...."Here is one of the best parts of Baja, Pelicans that you can see are diving for fish. Isn't it fun watching them dive." Video of multi-generational families in their tents along the beach with a brief descriptor about it being easter weekend....a minute later at a different location "my favorite part about the beach is the multi-generational families that gather there, especially like on this easter sunday. seeing the families gather in the tents, multiple generations at once, is one of my favorite parts of baja." AI is getting good but you can still find the obvious flaws once in a while.

[@chrisandsara]

😂 if only AI were good enough to create content like this!

[@antoniagarcia944]

Es baja California* no "baja"

[@chrisandsara]

Yes! We mentioned that in the video!

[@rodolforuizlopez8851]

Lo mismo pienso... nombre oficial...Baja California 🇲🇽

[@antoniagarcia944]

@@rodolforuizlopez8851 los gringos le dicen baja por qué California para ellos es solo su estado

[@briandonnell8801]

Way too fast driving south slow down and tell us the cities, taco stands names, rv parks locations.

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks Briandon

[@angelcba4310]

It’s Baja California not “Baja”

[@chrisandsara]

We say that in video :)

[@bellocancun9689]

BAJA doesn't exist stupid. Baja California is the correct name and respectfully way to call it. Don't be to lazy

[@chrisandsara]

Thanks for the comment. 🫡

[@jeffenslen8372]

You make a lot of stops, but dont say any of the cool locations. Not very informative. Would love to follow. But just not getting much info! 🤷🏻‍♂️ You could be on any beach anywhere in the world! 🧐🤔

[@chrisandsara]

Hi Jeff, our info channel is largely entertainment and less information. If you'd like more information regarding specific location recommendations you can visit our website at ChrisandSara.com
