Salchipapas are a favorite amongst most Peruvians and we’ve even seen them being devoured with great amounts of passion in Ecuador. What are they? A generous serving of fries topped off with some sausage slices and then doused in ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard. Do not try this at home.. unless ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/salchipapas/feed/ 5 https://bkpk.me/before-the-eruption/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=before-the-eruption https://bkpk.me/before-the-eruption/#comments Sat, 25 Apr 2015 18:21:17 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=15367
The Calbuco Volcano in Chile is erupting right now. It’s strange that we passed by it a few days ago and marveled at the peaceful surroundings. Cattle grazing without any premonitions, endless fields of green grass, and lakes all around for this is in Chile’s lakes region. We even talked ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/before-the-eruption/feed/ 1 https://bkpk.me/2012-in-12-videos/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=2012-in-12-videos https://bkpk.me/2012-in-12-videos/#comments Sat, 05 Jan 2013 06:07:54 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=5829
We can’t believe 2012 has come to an end! Every year I have this feeling that time went by so fast, that I could have done so much more, that there were so many plans and ideas… and somehow I didn’t fully archieve all I had in mind. Well, this ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/2012-in-12-videos/feed/ 4 https://bkpk.me/2012-backpack-me-awards/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=2012-backpack-me-awards https://bkpk.me/2012-backpack-me-awards/#comments Thu, 27 Dec 2012 14:54:57 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=5930

  “Internet is not working because the wind is too strong!”, bright receptionist at La Maison hotel in La Paz, Bolivia.

I have finally watched the movie The Motorcycle Diaries. And I say “finally” as it has been recommended to me by some in person and, indirectly, by many other on the web. I know this movie has inspired some travelers to make it to Latin America. In my case, I watched ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/the-motorcycle-diares-the-essence-of-travel/feed/ 14 https://bkpk.me/random-observations-after-1-year-of-traveling/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=random-observations-after-1-year-of-traveling https://bkpk.me/random-observations-after-1-year-of-traveling/#comments Sun, 14 Oct 2012 01:10:36 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=4514
September of 2012 marked one year since we left Dubai and started traveling like crazy. Ever since, we’ve been to: Ethiopia, India, UK, Portugal, Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Costa Rica, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, Peru and Bolivia. Stayed in places that go for USD400/night and others that cost only USD8. We’ve seen ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/random-observations-after-1-year-of-traveling/feed/ 7 https://bkpk.me/tamarindo-costa-rica-beaches-beauty-and-adventure/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tamarindo-costa-rica-beaches-beauty-and-adventure https://bkpk.me/tamarindo-costa-rica-beaches-beauty-and-adventure/#comments Sun, 24 Jun 2012 15:45:01 +0000 Micki http://bkpk.me/?p=2874
Tamarindo, Costa Rica is all about contrasts. The streets are dusty and rutted, and the town’s full of tourist and souvenier shops, but the beach is one of the longest in Costa Rica. We were in Tamarindo for over a month, and got to know Tamarindo’s hidden charms (and its warts, ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/tamarindo-costa-rica-beaches-beauty-and-adventure/feed/ 5
