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/idyllic-vagator-beach-in-goa/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=idyllic-vagator-beach-in-goa https://bkpk.me/idyllic-vagator-beach-in-goa/#comments Wed, 29 Apr 2015 20:03:19 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=15410
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/no-edit-ahead-lies-the-caribbean/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=no-edit-ahead-lies-the-caribbean https://bkpk.me/no-edit-ahead-lies-the-caribbean/#comments Wed, 15 Oct 2014 05:37:14 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=13875
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/playful-sea-lions-in-the-galapagos/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=playful-sea-lions-in-the-galapagos https://bkpk.me/playful-sea-lions-in-the-galapagos/#comments Sun, 05 Oct 2014 13:00:41 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=13811
The Galapagos Islands are a place like no other. We have never experienced interactions with animals the same way anywhere else. Sea lions, fearless will come and frolick with you, Marine Iguanas, although shy – will come and sleep next to you, and even birds will stick around unafraid. It’s ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/playful-sea-lions-in-the-galapagos/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/and-a-sign-said/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=and-a-sign-said https://bkpk.me/and-a-sign-said/#comments Mon, 06 Aug 2012 05:22:06 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=3792
Beware of falling coconuts! You couldn’t name a better place paradise. Anakena beach on Easter Island is a crescent shaped beach flanked by palm trees and statues of the ancient Moai. With soft white sand and falling coconuts, adventure is within reach!]]> https://bkpk.me/and-a-sign-said/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/yes-this-is-a-lake/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=yes-this-is-a-lake https://bkpk.me/yes-this-is-a-lake/#comments Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:40:36 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=3574
Llanquihue lake in Puerto Varas is so big that Zara and I had a pretty interesting argument about whether this is a lake or the sea. When a lake gets so large that it has waves in it, I tend to think that it’s more like a sea.

This ancient Mayan fort was one of the first points of contact with the Spanish. It was a major sea-port for Mayan trade as well as a point of defence. Definitely one of the most dramatic sites in Mexico.
