I am currently living alone in Mexico in a van w/ my cat and here's what I recommend! LMK if you have questions!

Packing List:

Baja Roads are TOUGH so don’t forget:
β€’ Extra water jug
β€’ Tow straps
β€’ Flat tire kit
β€’ Shovel
β€’ Recovery tracks
β€’ Jumper Cables
β€’ Shore power cables and
β€’ Your tool box
β€’ Extra Butane or Propane for Cam Stoves
β€’ Leveling Blocks

If you're here for a while, stock up on anything you may not be able to get here!
β€’ Toiletries
β€’ OTC Medications
β€’ Supplements
β€’ Any medications
β€’ Electrolytes (my favorite is @nuun)

Cat/Pet Packing List:
β€’ Extra Food
β€’ Treats
β€’ TICK & FLEA MEDS. (I use @frontline)
β€’ Glow in the dark collars
β€’ Extra trackers & harneses
β€’ Make sure to have all of their vet paperwork up to date for the border

Internet & Service:
β€’ Bring WALKIE TALKIES. This is so helpful for caravans
β€’ If you are remote working, you can't rely on service. I HIGHLY recommend getting STARTLINK.
β€’ For phones, I use @tmobile because they have free call/text in Mexico
β€’ For emergencies, I have my @garmin In Reach Satellite Phone

Insurance:
β€’ Van Insurance: @bajabound
β€’ Health Insurance: World Nomad

Safety & Money:
β€’ DO NOT keep your money all in one place. Hide smaller and larger bills all over your van- JUST IN CASE. You may get pulled over and need a few small bills.
β€’ I also recommend bringing a backup phone JUST IN CASE (I do this in every country I am in)
β€’ Take photos & make copies of all of your IDs. Just in case. There are times you may get pulled over and you don't want to give them originals.
β€’ Note: you will pass through at least 6 military checkpoints on your way down to Cabo-- just be polite! They may ask to do a small inspection.

Border:
β€’ I crossed at Mexicali and thought it was VERY smooth.
β€’ FMM CARD: After the first gate, turn left into a declarations parking lot. Bring your passport & $40 and they will give you an FMM card (almost like a visa)

You’re so chill, that if I were to live the van life. I’d like to be a companion traveler. In my own rig but going along so as not to be alone and not to be a nuisance.

Check US gov suggestions of where NOT to go. I've lived in Mexico, and this is not something one should be doing right now.

Not trying to be a prude… I’ve traveled thru Mexico. I am so glad to see that you have a Garmin Sat phone but can you call that will come help if something arises?!? Just curious as to you strategy to use the phone for help. Thanks for your videos. They are very well put together.

Since she said she was spending the winter in Mexico, I assume she and Atlas are back and safe now.
