Heralded as the World’s Leading Culinary Destination, not once, but six times, Peru has become the top country to visit for its gastronomy.

If India and Mexico made love, they could give birth to something beautiful! No doubt the newborn would dress colorfully and adorn its everyday things with vibrant tones. It would be saucy, spicy and topped with heaps of cilantro. Chances are it would also care a great deal about religion. ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/things-in-common-india-mexico/feed/ 17 https://bkpk.me/wicked-campers-chile-review/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=wicked-campers-chile-review https://bkpk.me/wicked-campers-chile-review/#comments Fri, 24 Feb 2017 10:01:01 +0000 Zara https://bkpk.me/?p=19829
Driving Southern Chile and Argentina along the Carretera Austral and Ruta 40 was the most ambitious road-trip we’ve done until today!

The Carretera Austral, also known as Chile’s Southern Highway is a 1240km long route that winds along through virgin prehistoric forests, torrential rivers, glaciers, and snow capped peaks!

When December arrives in the Northern Hemisphere, our imagination tends to be filled with images of snow, evenings by the fireplace and hot drinks in our hands. A rather stereotypical Christmas postcard, isn’t it? Winter in Costa Rica, on the other hand, means that you will be nice and toasty ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/by-the-sea-in-costa-rica/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/mothers-day-in-guatemala/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mothers-day-in-guatemala https://bkpk.me/mothers-day-in-guatemala/#comments Mon, 09 May 2016 23:59:09 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=17989
Today is Mother’s Day here in Guatemala. The atmosphere in the streets of Antigua is even a little more colorful than usual.

Antigua is the most touristic spot in Guatemala. Apart from receiving a lot of short term visitors, the city is also a hot spot for expats, folks who wants to learn Spanish and digital nomads.

Around the Guatemalan city of Antigua, admiring volcanoes is one of the favorite tourist pastimes. For the more adventurous, climbing some of the them is also possible.

Guatemala is one of those countries that is severely underrated as a travel destination. We arrived here a few weeks ago and our experience here has been nothing short of mind blowing!

If art is about communication, it makes sense to take it to the streets so that it can reach the masses. That’s what street art is all about.

Ever since we started traveling full-time I don’t have the same feeling I used to have before: What?! It’s already December? The year went by FLYING!…”   Now, I fly!

When it comes to natural beauty there is a certain cocktail of ingredients that definitely makes a country stand out.

Traveling around the world, I often joke that most backpackers “are blonde”. In fact, most travel bloggers are blonde too. Well, obviously not literally. But it is true that the mainstream travel writing world is dominated by people from Anglo-Saxon countries. Blogs from adventurers from the USA are pretty common. ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/from-chile-to-the-world-meet-nomadic-chica/feed/ 5
