The Perhentians, Malaysia

I blinked and my sojourn in Canada is over. I am headed to Maui now, to lounge on the sand, drive around the island, scuba dive, play beach volleyball, drink mai tais, wear leis every day, and hang out with my family.

I really do love beaches, specifically beaches on islands (if you couldn’t already tell). The Perhentians were absolutely gorgeous, and I had such an amazing time relaxing and partying; I will live on an island like this one day, I just know it.

Where is your paradise?

Naigani Island – Fiji, went on a little spur of the moment trip and spent an hour and a half watching dolphins, we visit them every time we go to Naigani!

I’d love to go to both islands!

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 .
