- Mexico's Baja Peninsula is a true gem and we're so excited to share even more footage from our two months driving this beautiful place. Baja should really be experienced firsthand, but if traveling to Mexico isn't in your upcoming plans, we're taking you along for a cinematic virtual travel journey through one of the most beautiful places we've ever roadtripped. Enjoy our first one hour long vlog that we've ever made and be sure to let us know if you like seeing longer features like this! :)

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.

28 minutes into your video and I am already crying happy tears just by listening to you guys describing Mexico. 🥲 Thank you! You are always welcome in my country!🥰
thank you for making us feel so welcome in your country. ❤
It's so nice to be able to move there. However, be advised watch out for police in Baja . They are harassing tourists for bribes/extortion of cash at traffic violation stops, especially in Ensenada. Don;t speed or run stop signs. The worst police department is in Ensenada. The city council and woman mayor allow them to demand bribes for fake tickets. No Courtesy is ever offered. Porto's station is the most corrupted. Never ever tell anyone how much money you have. Too many bird lame drivers do this and get ripped off. Carry a fake wallet with ID copy and only about $40 bucks. Hide the rest. Video record all traffic stops and advise cops you will post this in you tube. Call 911 if innocent and ask for supervisor ASAP, you are scared for your life because your freedom to travel is being blocked for a bribe. Notify the American Consul ASAP, so they can followup with officials to stop this practice in Baja. Have fun. Senior stop opening up your wallets in front of cashiers with so much stuff and money in it. They will signal a friend to rob you. Got it?
I just retired and at the young age of 69 decided, no more regets... I'm moving to Mexico! I've never even had a Passport! Since I can't decide between LaPaz and Oaxaca, I will stay awhile in each and see what God's plan is. There's no rush. I've watched countless hours of YT videos on moving to MX, travelling in MX, etc., and just found yours. You 3 are by far my favorite YT'ers, favorite Baja sojourners! Thank you, thank you for sharing the beauty that awaits! Can't wait to watch more... to travel the same path. Enjoy!!
Congrats on retirement! Both Oaxaca and La Paz are wonderful cities! I'm sitting in Oaxaca as I type and we've fallen in love with it as well. I hope you find the right place that feels like home to you! ❤
Wow, I loved how you captured the essence of Baja California Sur on this road trip. From the peaceful towns to those hidden beaches. I recently did a similar trip and documented my experience. There’s no place like Baja for an adventure like this!
So nice of you! We loved BAJA
The coolest people we know. So happy you guys are living all your travel dreams! Love and miss you 🖤
Also that beach at 36 min. is so sick 😍
Y'all need to bring Baby ActsOfAdventure to visit us in South America sometime soon!
Baja and the Sea of Cortez is beautiful. That campsite at the beginning looked like it was in Mulege. we have visited Loreto twice and the last time was last October. We spent a week at Villa del Palmar Islands of Loreto about 30 minutes south of town. The waters were calm with no waves and at 82 degrees which is really warm. Thanks!
Loreto was such a wonderful town! The whole Baja Peninsula is incredible though! ❤
I'm driving from Texas to Baja California Sur with my Goldendoodle next year and I'm SO GLAD you guys made this video!!!
Have so much fun!! :) Baja is incredible and your dog is going to love all the beaches!
I really enjoyed this long look at your sojourn in Mexico. Thanks for taking us!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Awesome video! We were camped next to ya on Playa la Gringa with the White Ram Power Wagon and grey camper!
Oh my gosh! Such a small world!! Hi again! :)
I lived in Northern Baja for one year in 1994 and drove to La Paz in Southern Baja. It is a magical place.
We loved it!
How long were the drive?
@@vipdemand5965 San diego to La Paz took us 3 days, 2 nights with stops in El Rosario and Mulegé
Welcome to México
Thank you!! :)
Beautiful video guys! I hope you have been reunited with your truck and are heading further south making more memories.. looking forward to it!
Thanks, Laura!!
Greetings From Austin Texas, Great Video!
Hi in Austin! :)
Enjoyed the video guys. Nice work. We have a place in Mulege and glad you got to see it for a short visit.
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Hello, I just subscribed to your TH-cam channel. I saw excellent content, entertaining, very well done, very natural to everything that you two are experiencing on your trip through my country Mexico. 😊
Thank you so much and welcome to our channel! And thank you for making us feel so welcome in your country. ❤
Appreciated your info on the TIP. Since we aren't required to have them--even as legal residents--here in the peninsula (long-time special exemption), I don't have need of them...UNTIL I want to take a vehicle from the peninsula to the mainland by ferry. So I found this information very useful and timely.
Good stuff
Is it just me, but I’m feeling Deja vu with this video. 🤔. Y’all playing with us, right lol
We decided to make one long video of our Baja series. We’ve had a lot of requests for longer videos and figured this would be a good test:)
I remembered your previous vid of being sandwiched tightly beside a 18 wheeler with its motor going the entire time, I felt so bad for y'all. Whoa
😅 That definitely wasn't one of our better night sleeps, but it was still a cool experience!
It's called pragmatic chaos!
Excellent video🎉
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it! :)
During your drive from the border to La Paz, did they ask for your T.I.P or FMM form at check points? Thank you
No they did not. We went through several check points and were never asked.
@chrisandsara looks like they asked for the T.I.P document catching the ferry from Paz-Mazatlan
Are you guys having your vehicle shipped from panama to colombia? its obviously to big for a container so are you doing it via roro? This is literally my dream trip
Hey! Yes! The plan is to do RORO from Panama to Colombia. Overland Embassy is who we're going to go through to ship our rig since they have so much experience and connections shipping vehicles this route.
Diesel Toyota truck? Did you import that?
The nice thing about your video is you get to go back cause you skipped so many wonderful cities/towns… the best bit of baja is the middle - past Ensenada and before La Paz…. Maybe title this some baja but mostly la Paz!
We did visit quite a bit but didn’t feature them. We’ll be back to Baja for sure.
It looks like this long video was compiled from your 4 videos on your Baja trip, but I think there were some new scenes added to it.
There are! We wanted to make one long feature video from our time in Baja and include so places that never made the past videos. :)
hi from Brasil
Hi!! Thanks for watching! :)
Do you mean you didn’t book the cabins on the ferry? That sounds exhausting.
We didn't because we were able to stay in our camper with our dog. It wasn't the best night sleep but we did get some sleep. :)
Annnnd, you never mention the name of the small town where you camped in the backyard?
this was Mulege , we boondock right by the lighthouse not far from that bridge , awesome little town
Mulege
you said TIP was good for ten years, I have always been under the impression it is tied to your visa if you leave your truck leaves. did your TIP say 10 years? THanks
Hi there! Yes, our TIP did say for 10 years. I've heard it's different for different years, makes, and models of vehicles though. Maybe this blogpost I wrote about driving to Mexico will help clarify: www.chrisandsara.com/post/crossing-the-land-border-from-the-usa-into-mexico
❤❤❤❤

Did you need any paperwork for the dog?
Not to get into Mexico, but to get back to the USA you now need a special form. I have a whole blogpost about traveling internationally with a dog that answers all the questions: www.chrisandsara.com/post/how-to-travel-internationally-with-a-dog
" You never Really know if something is safe until you try it." That is a candidate for a Darwin award.
Right?
🤔 A better way to put it would be, "just follow the advice of the several big TH-camrs who already did the Pan-American from Alaska to Ushuaia, as depicted in their countless videos... when in doubt, ask the FB groups like "on the road in Mexico" from the peeps who are already there 🙃
👌🙃
What happened Mexico is now more expensive than the United States.
No I don't think it is.
Boy has it gotten expensive and the government is very scary now.
Baja is definitely more expensive that most of Mexico. 😔
Welcome to the Baja one of the most expensive places you will travel. The farther you go the more expensive it gets..
😔
