Birthdays And Bicycles In Luang Prabang

written by Brenna Holeman June 27, 2011

Luang Prabang, Laos

Luang Prabang is definitely one of my favourite cities that I’ve been to so far on this adventure. What is a favourite city of yours and why?

oh wow, happy birthday!! what a glorious place to spend it!! my husband and i are planning on moving ANYWHERE in asia for the 2012/13 school year to teach after i get my ed degree and im definitely going to be referring back to this blog a LOT when we plan holidays! how much do you usually budget for places like Luang Prabang per day/week?
my favorite city is london and i think it probably will always be in my top ten places in my heart! it’s just so incredible, so huge but so small-twon at the same time. the markets and the museums and the tube, i love it! have you ever been??

Happy belated!

My favourite city, aside from my “home” city of Halifax and my Toronto home, would have to be Buenos Aires. The different barrios are all so unique in culture and atmosphere. I stayed and shopped in Palermo, toured around Recoleta, and La Boca seemed like a town all unto itself, especially after dark. And when we were ushered into a restaurant before their 8pm opening because the waiter feared for our safety. The people slept in and stayed out late so I spent at entire mornings wandering uninterrupted, evenings in top restaurants spending very little money. Nothing says Argentina like 7 steaks in 10 days, most of them consumed after 11pm. I will definitely make it back.

Thanks a lot, everyone!

Amie – I budgeted about 20 to 30 dollars a day for places like Luang Prabang, and that was with lots of extras like beer and souvenir shopping. It really is quite cheap. And yes, I’ve been to London a few times, I love it as well! I’d like to go back soon…

Garby – I would love to go to Buenos Aires, or anywhere in South America for that matter. I’m hoping to go in a couple of years! It sounds amazing…

Oooh yeah I loved Krakow, too. I had amazing vodka/apple juice drinks every night that have never tasted as delicious when I’ve tried to make them at home.

You are inspiring me to make more videos!! xxxx

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.
