North Goa tends to be the crazy part of Goa. Lots of busy beaches with lots of tourists. You need to get a little out of the tourist areas of Baga and Anjuna, rent a scooter or a motorbike, and drive north until you reach Vagator. Suddenly you’re in paradise ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/idyllic-vagator-beach-in-goa/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/3-things-about-cancun-that-are-not-100-true/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=3-things-about-cancun-that-are-not-100-true https://bkpk.me/3-things-about-cancun-that-are-not-100-true/#comments Sat, 20 Sep 2014 17:46:38 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=151
Doesn’t it feel good to enjoy the warm climate? Just wearing a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. Who doesn’t like to chill at the beach not doing much? Well, Cancun is the perfect spot to do so in Mexico. Before we visited Cancun, we often read negative comments about it.

I’m posting photo of the day from Valenca do Minho, my hometown in Portugal. Right now it’s deep into the night, really humid and the temperature is close to 0°C.

As the weekend is around the corner, I thought I’d ask this happy dog in Goa, India, to help me out with Photo of the Day. Do you see how careless and joyful he looks?

In our recent road trip around the West Coast of the USA we took a day to drive along the cliffs of stunning Big Sur.

On a fine Saturday morning in July, we decided to make a trip with some friends to Etretat, a little town in France that lies in the region of Normandy.

Isla Mujeres just off the coast of Cancun is a tiny island with a few hotels. The warm tropical water and white powdery sand make it an ideal place for a short getaway. The island itself is so small that you can walk around it in about an hour.

One of the great things about following travel blogs is that we get to read about destinations and experiences around the world from a personal perspective. It’s no secret that, a lot of travel writers that work in major publications, have sometimes written about places that they’ve never even been to!

First day in South Goa. Palolem Beach. Mid morning. Ayush and I decide to take a seat in a beach restaurant called Royal Touch, while Ashray, Dushi and Avinash (who joined us earlier that morning) go for a dip in calm waters.

We’re currently in Goa once again and no better place than this to reminisce about our last trip to… Goa!

The beaches in Goa (India) can be a place of funny contrasts. They’re located mostly next to villages, where people would traditionally make a living from the land and, mainly, from fishing. But now a days, as the beaches have become a touristic hot spot, some locals have come up ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/watermelon-slices/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/sunset-cow/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sunset-cow https://bkpk.me/sunset-cow/#comments Sun, 13 Jan 2013 06:17:09 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=6148

It wasn’t until we visited Bolivia that we found out that the original Copacabana is actually here! When we hear the word “Copacabana” we automatically think of Brazil, right? Turns out that the famous Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro takes its name from this town in Bolivia.

Winter last year was actually summer. We spent a lot of time in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Cuba. All equatorial nations where summer and winter don’t really exist.
