Raul Aguiar and Caroline Kane are the affable owners of Rancho La Bellota, a 2800-acre guest ranch located in Tecate Baja, California. Rancho La Bellota is a portal to another era. Free from cell service and wifi, guests quickly adapt to the rhythms of ranch life. The coffee is ready at 6:30 AM, and after a cup on the porch, the guests gather in the sun-washed dining room for a hearty breakfast. Following breakfast, it's time for a ride. I select a cowboy hat from the rack and make my way to the saddled horses. Jan, a La Bellota regular, knows the hat's owner (he leaves it at the ranch) and says it looks good on me. It's been forty years since I've ridden a horse, so I'll take the compliment. The horses at Rancho La Bellota are retired from a life of working cattle. Hence, as I mount my handsome palomino, Raul gestures to the horse and says, "it's an automatic with power steering and power brakes," letting me know with a wry smile that it's an easy horse to ride. In addition to being an expert horseman, Raul is a devoted overlander and drives a pop-top 1969 Chevrolet Suburban that he designed. He regularly hosts overlanders on their way up and down the Baja peninsula. He's quick to stress that he's not running a free campground; he's a proud native of Baja California who gladly shares his knowledge and experience to help travelers enjoy their time in Baja.

Meet Raul: Digital Nomad

 This week, we chat with Raul Colon, not only our FIRST male guest, but husband to Beth Colon, who we met a few weeks back!  It wasn't planned out to have their episodes so close together, but I love how you get to know them both, and see how much Beth was a part of Raul's story of healing and overcoming grief.Raul grew up In a tough area of Chicago, and lost his father and later mother fairly close together, and all In his 20's.  We never expect to outlive our parents, and Raul's bond with his mother was very close and special, which left him feeling lost and without support In her absence.Losing his parents at a young age, Raul had two paths to choose from: become bitter and continue with thoughts of unfairness, or choose to thrive and look for ways to stay positive.  Meeting his wife (Beth) during this tough time, was just the bit of "sunshine" he needed to continue pursuing the passions that make him how he Is. (And If I can be honest, him crediting and sharing so much of Beth's Influence and how they work as a team to make their dreams work, got me a little teary). Thankfully for all of us, Raul chooses positivity and moving forward, through his creative ventures and truly using his talents to the best of his ability to make his now family, and mom In Heaven, proud.Raul's story proves that you can have many cards stacked against you, as some would say, and through hard work, consistency, and drive- make your dreams happen.Check out more of Raul and his upcoming projects In film: @directorraul
