Do You Want A Postcard?

written by Brenna Holeman February 3, 2011

Feet in Bangkok 1 Feet in Bangkok 2 Feet in Bangkok 3

Feet in Bangkok, Thailand

This post is special to me, because it is my 200th post since starting this blog last April. And as I sit in this cafe in Bangkok, a breeze in the air, a pineapple coconut shake beside me, and taxi fare to take me to Chinatown for the New Year celebrations burning a hole in my pocket, I would like to give my thanks to all of the lovely people I’ve met through this blog. Whether you are a reader new or old, whether you have commented often or never at all, thank you so much for taking a wee bit of time to look at the photos I post and read the words I write.

If I could send all of you a postcard, I would. Instead, I decided that, in each country I travel to in the next six months, I will post a question. The person whose answer makes my heart flutter with wanderlust will then receive a postcard.

So here is my question, a simple one to start: What is your dream destination and why? Please answer using only one sentence; the answer I choose should expect a postcard from Burma!

Antarctica, to see the poetry of the ice, the pink and blue algae that colour the snow, and the abundant wildlife that hasn’t yet learned to fear humans.

Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan to see the children who yearn for nothing more than a simple education and to see the simple lifestyle where people are happy with basic items. And to build schools for these children with Greg Mortenson so they have a chance of growing out of poverty.

Greece, specifically Santorini, because my husband studied Greek in college and I would love to be able to take him there for his first trip out of the United States!

My dream destination is the one place i’ve felt at home, Chicago, with the one person who could make anyplace my dream destination.

I’ve been to my destination before many years ago, and I long to return. 🙂 I love your blog!

Karachi, Pakistan to drink sweet, cold mango lassi while I’m lost in a humid, noisy, crowded bazaar surrounded by vibrant colors of cloth and rich jewels, to see people making chai in the corner store and children playing cricket in the alley, to hear the putter-putter of rickshaws and at night during a blackout, to look at the sky and see billions of bright stars shining down on me.

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.
