Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hiroshima, Japan

The first of many love songs to Japan (my home for over two years). And who can sing a love song better than Leonard Cohen?

I heard this song in a café today and remembered you used it for this video. Just rewatched it. Japan! <3

Aw, thanks for thinking of the video! That’s very sweet.

Hi, I'm Brenna

My name is Brenna Holeman and I drink a lot of whisky. No, wait. That’s not how I want to start. After travelling to more than 100 countries over the past 17 years, many of them solo, I tend to write about travel a lot, but I write about other things, too: getting dumped, buying way too much jewellery, and yeah, OK, whisky (none of those things are related, I swear). You’ll find a mix of advice, opinion pieces, and stories on this blog, but either way, I hope to make you want to read more. And up next? I'm now a single mom to a beautiful little boy, the biggest solo adventure I've ever been on. For more about me and what you'll find on This Battered Suitcase, click here.
