Around the World: Dogs (Again)

written by Brenna Holeman September 13, 2013

Galapagos Dog

Galapagos Islands, Ecuador (It really was cold, but why the hat?)

4000 Islands Dog

4000 Islands, Laos

Antigua Dogs

Antigua, Guatemala

Koh Lanta Dog

 

 Koh Lanta, Thailand

Santa Marta Dog

Santa Marta, Colombia

Golden Triangle Dog

Near the Golden Triangle, Thailand

Luang Prabang Dog

Luang Prabang, Laos

Seoul Dog

Seoul, South Korea (Those are indeed eyebrows drawn onto his face. There is a story behind this, and I’ll write about it one day)

Lovina Dog

Lovina, Indonesia

Granada Dog

Granada, Nicaragua

I was all set to do something completely different for this instalment of Around the World: beer, books, hot dogs (all my favourites in life) but I realized I still had a lot of photo of dogs, and dogs always win.

This post is also in honour of the fact that I’m going to apply to become a dogsitter/dogwalker in London in the upcoming weeks. Laugh if you will, but I can’t think of a better way to be paid for an afternoon. Besides, freelance writer/dogwalker totally sets me up as the quirky girl in a romantic comedy, right? I mean, I already play the ukulele, wear flowers in my hair, collect records, and own a freaking typewriter. All I need is a “song that will change your life”** ready to play on my iPhone and I’m the perfect cliche.*

*Yes, I’m rolling my eyes right now.

**The song that will change your life is this one.

PUPPIES! It’s so weird when people draw eyebrows on their dogs, but some of the workers at the farm I was staying at in Thailand would draw a different style of eyebrows on our farm dog’s face every day…and we would all bust up laughing when she came running out to greet us. But, I mean, laughing guiltily!

PS can I mention again how much I love this new layout? Because it’s ace. Ace!!

Brenna September 13, 2013 - 1:16 pm

Hah, that is kind of the best. I know, I shouldn’t laugh…but DOGS. Dogs with EYEBROWS. Hilarious.

And thank you re: the layout! There are still a lot of kinks to be worked out and I am pretty sure I have to go back and reformat all of my old posts, but my goal is to finish it before TBEX. Yes, copious bottles of wine will be consumed in the process.

Yes! I still have the hilarious video. He needs his own post.

About Me

About Me

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 15 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 about to become a single mom to a beautiful baby 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 .

INSPIRATION

Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life." - Jack Kerouac

About Brenna

This Battered Suitcase is not only about the where and the how of travel, it's about the who and the why.

Originally from Canada, all I've ever wanted to do is travel. After eleven years of solo travel and over 90 countries, I'm currently living in London and fulfilling my other dream of becoming a writer. If I'm not travelling, I'm writing about it, either for my blog, my job, or my book. I firmly believe there is adventure everywhere, so long as you keep your eyes (and your mind, and your heart) open. Join me as I continue to look for these adventures. Hopefully you'll find your own, too.
