For countries as big and rich as the United States, it’s easy to assume that everyone here gets to eat well. While it’s true that most people in the United States have access to plenty of food, the quality of food varies incredibly. We’ve experienced this ourselves in our travels ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/waist-size-and-socioeconomic-status-in-the-usa/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/how-to-open-a-us-bank-account-as-a-tourist/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-to-open-a-us-bank-account-as-a-tourist https://bkpk.me/how-to-open-a-us-bank-account-as-a-tourist/#comments Sun, 09 Aug 2015 05:57:01 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=15619
A lot of business happens in the USA. As the largest economy in the world, this comes as no surprise. If you work with US businesses, chances are, they would want to pay you through local methods. Some businesses might be setup to use Paypal or International Wire Transfers, but ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/how-to-open-a-us-bank-account-as-a-tourist/feed/ 322 https://bkpk.me/want-to-come-for-a-drive/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=want-to-come-for-a-drive https://bkpk.me/want-to-come-for-a-drive/#comments Fri, 17 Jan 2014 00:42:03 +0000 Ashray http://bkpk.me/?p=8452
This is Montana! You see endless ranches flowing over hills and dales, cows grazing in open spaces and the absolutely pristine American countryside. There’s a little road snaking along and you see magnificent clouds descending so low that you could almost reach up and touch them.

While walking around Hollywood we saw some really big beautiful mansions. The kind you see in lifestyles of the rich and famous. Then again, we were right where the rich and famous live! These folks love keeping dogs, many dogs. It’s wonderful because the dogs get to live in these ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/so-whos-really-rich-in-hollywood/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/usas-national-parks-on-a-budget/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=usas-national-parks-on-a-budget https://bkpk.me/usas-national-parks-on-a-budget/#comments Tue, 20 Aug 2013 10:45:52 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=9182
During our West Coast road-trip, we planned to visit several National Parks to immerse ourselves into something else rather than just cities in the USA. As we were driving the entire coast, from Seattle to San Diego, and still making it to some other states like Wyoming and Arizona, there ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/usas-national-parks-on-a-budget/feed/ 11 https://bkpk.me/small-town-america/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=small-town-america https://bkpk.me/small-town-america/#comments Sun, 11 Aug 2013 10:19:26 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=8662
While driving through small towns and villages in the USA we decided our road trip needed a little bit of Country Music. I was never into this genre as such but let’s face it, just like a movie, a journey is not complete without an appropriate soundtrack.   Someone was ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/small-town-america/feed/ 0 https://bkpk.me/dejavu-travels-in-new-york-part-12/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=dejavu-travels-in-new-york-part-12 https://bkpk.me/dejavu-travels-in-new-york-part-12/#comments Sat, 18 May 2013 07:31:09 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=7822

Traveling across Europe, the Americas and Asia I have met travelers from many nationalities, but the majority has probably been from the USA, particularly around Latin America. US Americans have quite a culture of traveling (young and old), doing gap years and backpacking. US American tourists have been labeled as loud ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/whats-wrong-with-u-s-a-tourists/feed/ 31
