Today’s podcast was written by Dan and Lisa Goy and presented by Perry Mack
Dan and his wife Lisa went on their first Mexican RV adventure in 1985, travelling in a Ford van conversion with their two young children. Both Dan and Lisa’s parents were frantic and were convinced they would be murdered, and their grandchildren kidnapped, never to be seen again. Nothing could have been further from reality.
Their initial four-month adventure was a life-altering experience as they fell in love with ‘everything Mexico.’ They drove down the Baja Peninsula travelling from beach to beach and then took a ferry from Cabo San Lucas to Puerto Vallarta on the mainland. Some unique experiences included spending time in Pie de la Cuesta just outside of Acapulco as well as enjoying Christmas with a local family in Mexico City, before returning home to British Columbia.
Many RVers that they I have met at RV shows, rallies and seminars over the years have always asked, “Is Mexico safe to travel in an RV?” After touring some 200,000 km, they have never had a dangerous encounter.
A camping experience in Mexico is more than just a tropical experience. It’s the culture and customs that are truly unique and the people are always helpful and friendly. It was their love of Mexico and extensive travels that made them start Baja Amigos RV Caravan Tours in 2009. They now offer tours of Baja and the mainland. Of the 31 states in the country, they have visited all but five.
