We went downstairs to have coffee in the local pastry shop and the moment we took a seat the waiter asked “duas meias de leite?“. That sentence, translating into “two lattes?” made us feel at home. We were officially locals, we belonged. Having a nomadic lifestyle makes it very difficult ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/uma-casa-portuguesa-our-airbnb-rental-in-lisbon/feed/ 9 https://bkpk.me/meet-amalia/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=meet-amalia https://bkpk.me/meet-amalia/#comments Mon, 27 Jan 2014 19:43:23 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=11346
As I travel around the world and meet new people I often hear the name “Cristiano Ronaldo” as, perhaps, the only personality from my country that people know now-a-days. Before it was Figo, now it’s Ronaldo and, who knows, in a few years, another football player.

I am not proud to say that sometimes I freak out when it comes to trying new foods. Don’t get me wrong: I have come a long way and traveling around the wold has trained my mind and palate to be way more open to new experiences than before. Still, ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/caracois-eating-snails-in-lisbon/feed/ 14 https://bkpk.me/sweeping-life-away/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sweeping-life-away https://bkpk.me/sweeping-life-away/#comments Tue, 24 Sep 2013 04:17:59 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=9580
Walking around Setubal (Portugal) looking around for somewhere serving fresh fish for dinner, we saw this. It’s amazing how some abandoned rotting buildings in the area have become the canvas to amazing street art pieces, such as this one, where art meets reality and they both complement each other in ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/sweeping-life-away/feed/ 4 https://bkpk.me/how-we-finally-got-zaras-visa-to-india/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-we-finally-got-zaras-visa-to-india https://bkpk.me/how-we-finally-got-zaras-visa-to-india/#comments Thu, 25 Jul 2013 19:10:27 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=8908
I’ve been meaning to write about this for several weeks but the sense of relief (of getting the visa) was too overwhelming and I didn’t want to ruin it by remembering the infuriating behavior of the Consulate General of India, San Francisco. So last we wrote about this, we were ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/how-we-finally-got-zaras-visa-to-india/feed/ 6 https://bkpk.me/lisboa-coisa-boa/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lisboa-coisa-boa https://bkpk.me/lisboa-coisa-boa/#comments Tue, 29 Nov 2011 02:11:03 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=97
