Book tour with baby (from TV interviews to skiing!)

Book tour with baby has been a wonderful adventure so far. We certainly maximized on our time in Vancouver. Such a treat to stay with family as we bounced between TV interviews and cross country skis! Check out the slideshow below for a glimpse of our adventures. With our crazy schedule I don’t have much time to write so photos will have to suffice for now. Also be sure to check out my interview on CBC (Canadian national TV) here and CTV (Vancouver) here.

Javier Chavez - Wildmex

We met in Boulder, CO in 2008. We both had a dream…
“What’s your business idea?” I’d asked Javier.

“Sweet!” I exclaimed, “where?”
“Sayulita, heard of it?”
“What?! Really?! I’m building my eco-lodge in San Pancho, just north of Sayulita. We’re neighbors!” I said excitedly.

Jungle Crabs Invade! (And Prompt Annual Reflection)

Invasion!!! The jungle crabs are back! Must be time to close up my jungle lodge once again. But that would mean …can it be…13 years? Have I really been a Wildpreneur for that long…?

2) Time to reflect on the year (s) that have passed.

Read on for a decade of Wildpreneur lessons/reflections and a sneak peak at the chapters of my book!
