About Us
 
BajaBrent is the author of this BajaTravelAdvisor.com (BTA), and resides in La Salina Del Mar, Baja as well as a part-time in San Diego CA.  BajaBrent has traveled/lived in Baja since 1985, although mostly fulltime since 1997.

He is a retired lawyer-litigator, former NDT intercollegiate debator and a lawyer-web consultant with Lawinfo.com, one of the world's largest lawyer-consumer websites. 

BajaBrent, schooled in Economics, Political Science, and forensic debate, spent many years engulfed in libraries, research database, writing propositions and arguing the same.  His litigation experience was a natural enhancement of those skills.  He has expended hundreds of hours of research and analysis of the topics published herein. Although admittedly some of the material may not be fully edited upon your initial review.

Baja Mexico, is a beautiful state/country filled with adventure, freedom, color and challenge.  Its people are industrious, considerate, but not dependent on the "rat race" that dictates lifestyle north of the border.  

Many of the Mexican citizens who live in Baja (and many parts of Mexico) work within the tourism industry.  US tourism is a major player in the economic well being of Baja, its people and its residents.  Fairness demands that bias media reports be called into question when adverse consequences are visited upon the innocent. 

Bajabrent's life passion is paragliding, and is known as Baja's most advanced paragliding pilot. He has a P-4 advanced rating from USHPA.  He is founder of Team FlyLaSalina which focuses on flying paragliders, hang gliders, Powered Paragliders and Ultralight aircraft. 

He is the author of  www.FlyLaSalina.com, www.BajaBrent.com and the associated Blogs including http://bajatraveladvisor.wordpress.com/ . He also authors a karaoke website www.TheMoondoggie.com

BajaBrent, born in the USA, loves the United States with all his heart.  There is no greater country in the world.  He supports the US military , even though--- sometimes --their missions place them in political quagmire.  Go Troops!!!

Raised in central Ohio, Bajabrent is fortunate to still visit his wonderful family, his parents that recently celebrated their 60th anniversary.  He helps manage the family business www.MrTreeFarm.com 

This website is not intended to minimize or belittle the incidents of death, murder, or injury visited upon the victims (and victims families) discussed herein.  BajaBrent believes that death is constantly happening and always around, and  worrying about it changes nothing and resolves little.  If/when your maker decides to take you home, your number is up.  May your "next life" journey be  according to the commitment of your heart in this life.   

THE ONE "BUD" THAT STUCK OUT:

I guess I forgot about Buddy Ray, sad to say.  But suddenly I found him in the database of  the casualties of Americans who allegedly died in Baja since 2003: all 28 in 6 years plus...

 

Buddy came from Vegas, in the winter or ’98,  prospecting his new future without the his plague north of the border.  He started  a karaoke show up the street, at a local Palapa.  He sang like Frankie and could riff Santana like he was Carlos himself. He rocked-and rolled us until the summer turned cold, then he disappeared one night without a whipser.... he“just left the building” ..

 

One day after eating a fish taco at the fish market in Ensenada, I heard the Mexi-gringo whistle and stopped in my tracks.  I whipped around recognizing his shrill and there came Buddy's embrace  of years past. 

He whooed me to HIS new taco stand of carne on the corner of the fish market, insisting he would change the taste to his tri-tip of choice.  I chuckled, we laughed we made light of the past. He introduced his wife to be, a pretty local no less.  I munched down that taco and said adios amigo.

A couple years later I ran into him again. A new venue up town, sound system, big bar, and tacos abound. It was a bustling day, I had other tasks at hand, but I promised to return and sing karaoke, again..
 

A few years ago, more than I recall, I got an email from a friend, Buddy Ray was no more.  Good hearted Buddy, allegedly came home, to find his woman in a brawl in betweenst her Mother and X. 

Buddy jumped in the fray—not a violent kinda soul—but the X had a pistol that put an end to it all.  Now Buddy Ray was not a druggie, nor a tourist for sure, he preferred AA and to sing a little more…..But someone has chosen to dig up his little story and attempt to intertwine it into the MEXICAN DRUG WAR!!!
