Travel south of the border into Baja California with bi-lingual travel host Jorge Meraz to discover a country rich in food, culture and so much more.

On this episode, Jorge visits Rancho de los Ninos, an orphanage located in Baja California, to see how orphaned youth are provided and cared for. Established and privately run since 1968, this shelter partners with San Diego based non-profit organizations like Orphan Annie's International which provides food and supplies from north of the border. He also meets a charming international couple that turned a family ranch into a peaceful bed and breakfast.
