When this first showed up on our Instagram, our first thought was that is was probably some kind of skam, super hard to do and you would probably end up almost drowning.. Right, you are thinking the same thing right now - aren’t you? But honestly, it’s just as easy as it looks! And if you’re like me, not super strong and tall - you might also find this easier than climbing up the “normal” way. Especially if you are alone and afraid the dinghy will tip over. In my defence I have always been able to do a back roll on the ground. So I might have had the technique already in me. But let’s break it down: 1. Grab the handles on the dinghy with your palms facing up. If you have a dinghy with a high bow, place yourself a bit more aft. 2. Stretch your legs straight out, and keep your head close to the dinghy. 3. Take a deep breath and get ready to get your head under water. 4. Pull your legs towards your stomach as much as you can (knees towards face). 5. Start rotating by stretching your legs, starting by unfolding them by the knees. This creates a kicking motion and of you time it right this motion will bring you straight into the dinghy. A few tips: ✨Blow air out of your nose to not get water in it. ✨Your best point of reference will be your hands, aim just above your hands when straightening your legs to get your motion in the right direction. ✨ Afraid your head will hit the dinghy? It won’t! Good luck! 👍🏻

Another concern for people is police. I haven't many issues with police the entire time I've lived or visited Mexico. My biggest tips: 🗣️ It does help to know Spanish. If you plan on visiting Mexico, take some time to learn. It's not only helpful in sticky situations but also unlocks more experiences of the culture and people, which is the whole point of travel. 👮♀️ Follow the laws. Don't speed or drive like an turd. 🚨 If you do get pulled over, do whatever you can to not bribe the police. Foreigners opting to pay cash directly to police is why people continue to have problems with them. If you get pulled over, ask for an official multa (ticket) and to go to the station to pay it directly. This takes more time, but sometimes insisting on not giving the police officer petty cash will make them drop the issue all together. Finally, don't let the news scare you. Are there certain parts of Mexico that are dangerous? Yes, of course, just like any other country, but Baja is pretty well protected as a tourism hot spot.
