From Udaipur To Jaipur

written by Brenna Holeman April 17, 2011

from-udaipur-to-jaipur-1 from-udaipur-to-jaipur-2 from-udaipur-to-jaipur-3 from-udaipur-to-jaipur-4 from-udaipur-to-jaipur-5 from-udaipur-to-jaipur-6

From Udaipur to Jaipur, India

It seems so long ago that I was in India, even though these photos were only taken about 6 weeks ago. How strange that it was only six weeks ago that I would pass a short train ride by playing with my camera, laughing with my new Norwegian, Canadian, and Austrian friends, avoiding the stares of prying eyes (see the man behind Trish, the girl with the green scarf), exchanging bracelets with the kind woman beside me, drinking perfect masala chai from the chai-wallahs, and stretching my legs on platforms of cities I had never heard of before.

I have had this blog for over a year now – in fact, I believe my blog’s birthday was a few days ago. If you would have asked me last April where I would be a year from now, I would have never guessed that I would have said Thailand…after a year of visiting Japan, The Philippines, China, Mongolia, Russia, America, Canada, Hong Kong, Macau, Burma, India, and Nepal. I would have never guessed that I would still have Laos, Cambodia, Australia, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia coming up. I would have never guessed that I would have said that I would be happier than I was then; I had a home then, I had a boyfriend then, I had a job then. And yet, I am happier than perhaps I have ever been, right here where I belong, right here on the road.

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.
