These days, it’s often hard to understand what things really look like. Colors are adjusted, filters are added, and things are clone stamped out, amongst various other atrocities. (and yes, we are guilty of that too!) Photos look instagrammed and over saturated more often than not. But it’s time for ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/no-edit-ahead-lies-the-caribbean/feed/ 3 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.

Some people think that living a life full of travel is all about running barefoot in green fields with blossoming daisies, while unicorns are running carefree in the background and the sun is shining down upon you softly.

We started this collaborative series taking a voyage around Asia, exploring popular destinations such as Thailand and the Philippines, and going to others less known yet very interesting, such as Kyrgyszstan. After Asia, we moved onto Africa & The Middle East to mingle with the locals, experience raw landscapes and wildlife, ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/travel-to-my-country-34-the-americas-caribbean/feed/ 9 https://bkpk.me/isla-mujeres-tropical-paradise/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=isla-mujeres-tropical-paradise https://bkpk.me/isla-mujeres-tropical-paradise/#comments Mon, 15 Jul 2013 08:28:47 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=8856
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.

As my Mom often says: “the big fish always ends up swallowing the small fish“. I’ve got to confess I hate that saying (not to the most positive message out there, right?) but when I saw this car inside a taxi in Tuxtla Gutierrez, Mexico, I couldn’t help but thinking ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/carception/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/missing-warm-winters/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=missing-warm-winters https://bkpk.me/missing-warm-winters/#comments Fri, 09 Nov 2012 07:17:56 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=5244
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. Spending a great day at the beach during the northern winter sure feels liberating!

On a balmy Sunday in Acapulco these kids sit on the beach and watch the sun setting over the bay. It’s been a great day at the beach, parents sipping mojitos and taquitos for themselves. This day should never end!]]> https://bkpk.me/whats-on-the-other-side/feed/ 1 https://bkpk.me/a-cloudy-perfect-day/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-cloudy-perfect-day https://bkpk.me/a-cloudy-perfect-day/#comments Sat, 13 Oct 2012 02:24:16 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=4845
Who said cloudy days are not THE days?! This photo is proof that cloudy days can be as beautiful as sunny, clear sky ones.

Foodies rejoice! It’s official! Mexico loves sweet bread. Walk into a supermarket in any city in Mexico and you’ll see the widest array of sweet breads and pastries than ever seen before.

Oaxaca is one of the most artistic cities in Mexico. The town square is colorful and will take you on a journey through the artistic history of this city. The streets are covered in eye catching graffiti. Street art is one of my favorite forms of art.

Before heading to Palenque in Chiapas, Mexico, we read that this was a “backpackers paradise”. Apparently, there was a big concentration of budget travelers around here. I was sure the historical ruins of Palenque wouldn’t be the only reason why backpackers were concentrating around these area… there are so many ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/1-day-at-el-pachan-chiapas/feed/ 3 https://bkpk.me/hierve-el-agua-life-as-still-as-it-gets/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hierve-el-agua-life-as-still-as-it-gets https://bkpk.me/hierve-el-agua-life-as-still-as-it-gets/#comments Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:34:46 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=1053
Hierve el Agua is a cascade in a remote mountain in Oaxaca, Mexico. Although the name literally translates into “the water that boils” it doesn’t actually look like its waters are boiling.

Luis Miguel lives around Lagos de Montebello in Chiapas, and we found him in the street offering his services as a guide to some cave.
