Hey Drifters! Welcome back to the channel and thanks for watching our video about how to travel safely in Baja!

Please support us by liking, sharing, commenting and subscribing! We really appreciate your support :)

We absolutely love the entire Baja region. The people and culture are generous and authentic, the tacos are out-of-this-world, and the scenery is stunning. But there are things that can go wrong too. Opportunistic petty crime happens, tourist scams, and mistakes at the border crossing and security checkpoints can lead to a very poor experience if you don't know how to avoid it.
