Who Are We
Writers
Steve Rogers 1938 - 1999
Our dear, departed compadre; inspiration and co-author of The People's Guide to Mexico and the People's Guide To RV Camping in Mexico. There's a popular saying that goes, "Like Mexico, there is only one." The same was often said of Steve!
Tina Rosa
Among her many talents and first-hand travel experiences, Tina and Steve Rogers wrote Mexico In 22 Days and The Shopper's Guide To Mexico. Tina said before leaving for Mexico on her own last fall, "I've come to the conclusion that any woman who hitch-hiked alone thru Mexico in her 20's can drive thru Mexico alone in her 50's!"
Felisa 'Churpa' Rosa Rogers
Felisa 'Churpa' Rosa Rogers was born into Mexico travel. Her dad, Steve Rogers, of Grunterama fame, and her mom, travel writer Tina Rosa, took her to Mexico in a ‘68 Dodge camper when she was two months old. As she grew up, the family typically spent half of each year exploring the back roads of Mexico and Guatemala in a succession of beloved vans. Today.....
David “El Codo” Eidell
Following my tradition of doing things back assward, I first went to Baja, Mexico in the SUMMER (!) of 1964, riding in the back of my brother's new CJ-5 Jeep. I rode on four cases of warm bubbling Cerveza Corona. I was so dumb that I had to ask how to say "no" in Spanish (one cannot enter Mexico for the first time more naive than I was).... (more)
P.G. Meier
P.G Meier is a native Californian who lives in Oakland with his wife, dog and cat. He has traveled in Mexico since the early seventies and says there is no better way to start a day than drinking a big glass of freshly squeezed orange juice in an open-air café while the sun warms the day.
Joan Parker
Many years ago we met Joan Parker while camping on a remote beach in western Mexico. Joan and her 8 year-old son Galen, along with a large dog, were traveling in a well-seasoned Volvo station wagon. Later, and much farther down the road in Chiapas, Joan would encourage us to accompany her and Galen into Guatemala (against the advice of a blustery Texan, who claimed his RV had been machine-gunned at the Honduras-Guatemala border). Today, Joan’s style not only continues to be gutsy, but she also lives and travels very skillfully on a limited budget.
Cathy Waterman and Mike Huckaby
Cathy Waterman and Mike Huckaby are avid hikers and who fell in love with Copper Canyon and the people who inhabit it on their first trip to the area. They started guiding in the canyon soon after meeting Carl Franz and falling prey to his infectious enthusiasm for the region, They have just started their own guiding service, Copper Canyon Trails, to share the wonders of the canyon and its inhabitants with fellow adventurers. Cathy and Mike live in Tucson with their rescue dog, Remolino.
Dobie
Dobie and Sergio are homesteading in a former coconut plantation on Mexico's Pacific Coast. Dobie says, "For the last 25 years, I've spent the winter camping out on a beautiful beach on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Being a fairly sociable person, I've made some good friends in the nearby town, and had come to think of the place as my second home. For the last 10 years or so, I've had fantasies of living there full time."
Teresa A. Kendrick
Teresa A. Kendrick is a six-year resident of Mexico from Austin, Texas, with degrees in journalism and design. Her work in the museum world ignited a passion for Latin American art that led her to make Mexico "home". For the last 15 years Teresa has combined her skills to create organizations and publications to acquaint the English-speaking community with Mexico. She recently stepped away from a weekly arts column for the English-language newspaper, Guadalajara Colony Reporter to devote more time to this book.
Robert & Deborah Foster
A few of months ago, Lorena and I received an email from Robert and Deborah Foster, in which Robert described their house and comfortable new life just outside of Puerto Vallarta. I know... for many People’s Guide readers, the thought of living in or even near a major Mexican tourist resort is about as appealing as a condo in Disneyland. In our subsequent exchange of emails, however, I was greatly impressed by the Foster’s skillful transition from Colorado to Mexico, and their choice of a deliberately modest lifestyle. I’ve often said that you don’t have to go very far from any city or resort to find the better side of this country.
Bill Masterson
Bill Masterson recently returned to the United States after living and working in Mexico for six years as a corporate trainer. He continues to travel to Mexico for work and pleasure.
Taylor & Terri Benson
Fact: My first experience eating Mexican food was at 12 months, being fed enchiladas by my Grandfather at the Little Mexico Café in San Angelo, Texas while beads of sweat broke out on my face. They say I kept reaching for more….
Stan Gotlieb
Stan Gotlieb is accurately described as an irreverent, itinerant, ne'er-do-well gringo malcontent who discovered home, patience and a positive attitude while sitting in the sidewalk cafés of Oaxaca. His website includes a sample of his pithy online newsletter (available by subscription only) and his Letters From Oaxaca Mexico, a mixed bag of advice, humor, politics, culture and history....
