Kyoto With Kerrilyn

written by Brenna Holeman November 3, 2010

Kyoto, Japan

After a few short days of relaxation (Sonia’s hot dogs in Lockport, drives through Birds Hill Park, delicious home-cooked meals), I’m on the road again. This time it’s to America, to see the Grand Canyon and spend some time in the hot Arizona sun.

I remember that little biting-dog statue. Cracked me up! xoxo

Oh I wish I could visit Brooklyn again, Emily! I love New York.

Melissa, we should totally go to Japan together one day! We could show each other our favourite spots…

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

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.
