Episode Synopsis

Over 30 years ago Englishman, Graham Mackintosh fell in love with Baja California on a day trip to Ensenada from San Diego. Not long after that first visit and despite a glaring shortage of both experience and money, Mackintosh, who described himself as the "least adventurous person in the world," set out to walk around the beautiful but dangerous coastline of Mexico's Baja California peninsula. The near two-year, 3,000-mile trip changed his life. When Mackintosh emerged from the cactus-strewn wilderness, he returned to England to write Into a Desert Place and there received the prestigious "Adventurous Traveller of the Year" award. But he could not stay away. Over the following three decades he returned to Baja multiple times and completed several astonishing treks with a few furry friends. In total he has written four books that chronicle these adventures and is currently working on a fifth. You can find all four of his books on amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Graham-Mackintosh/e/B001IQWG1QYou can learn more about Graham on his website at:https://grahammackintosh.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-answer-is-yes--2903418/support.
