A little bit about this writer

For the next couple of weeks, and hopefully for much longer, I will be writing in this blog, providing you with valuable and insightful information about Baja. Relevant news and events that have an effect on Baja real estate will be the main focus of my writing. I will also report on the regular trips I will be making to see what is happening down south in Baja. In other words, I am the official Baja Correspondent for LEI Mexico.

Why will I be doing this?If I have to answer that in one sentence, I would say it's because I find it fascinating. Being born and raised in Tijuana, Mexico, I have seen flocks of tourists visit the many enchanting sites and beaches Baja has to offer. Initially just visiting Baja to escape their daily routines, these tourists are now becoming residents and buying properties all over the coast. I have witnessed the construction of several real estate developments in what seemlingly appears to be the middle of nowhere, only to find out a couple of years later a full scale development already sold out and populated to its maximum capacity.
Since real estate is a passion of mine, especially the boom that Baja is experiencing, I was genuinely excited when I discovered that LEI Mexico needed an intern. I immediately called, and the next thing I knew, I had the chance to contribute to this blog. As an International Business student from San Diego State University that will be graduating this semester, I felt extremely frustrated when I was looking for companies where I could do an internship. They were either unappealing or having an intern was not feasible for them at that time. However, this opportunity came along and I was lucky to find a place where I could learn about something in which I have a sincere interest and have even considered doing in the future. So, as a part of my experience here at LEI Mexico, I will be contributing to this blog one or two times a week to keep you informed on all things concering Baja Real Estate, politics, travel, sports, and leisure.

I hope you enjoy reading this blog as much as I enjoy doing the research and writing for it. If you have any particular questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. I will be more than happy to read your thoughts and help you in any way I can.

Sincerely,
Jose ZatarainBaja CorrespondentLEI Mexico
