People Of Jaisalmer

Jaisalmer, India

These are days of camel rides, of wandering through historic forts, of shopping for silver bangles and beaded tapestries and leather shoes and genie pants and cardamom, of spending time with the local people, of eating vegetable pakora and drinking masala chai, of learning (and learning), of making new friends, of music under the stars, of jumping on a bus to Jodhpur, of finally fulfilling my dream of coming to India, of realising how much better India is than that dream.

Still such limited time online, and for that I apologise. Off to Udaipur next!

Gorgeous photos, love the colors. If I go back to India (truthfully, not rushing to head back anytime soon :/), I’d visit more of Rajasthan.

I received your post card yesterday and was just thrilled! It was such a lovely surprise. I do wish I could send you one but I suppose with your being so transient that wouldn’t be possible. Continue having wonderful travels for all us bloggers to be jealous of!

Thank you so much for your nice comments, everyone! I will upload photos whenever I get the chance, although the chances are really few and far between.

Emily, I’m so glad the postcard arrived, and I hope that others start to arrive soon, too!

Oh and Kerri…you know all I really wish for in this life is you by my side. xxxx

The last photo is so good! I can’t wait to go to India, it’s so visually stimulating. We’ll probably need to take an extra few memory cards.

Thanks Mina! I’m sure you will love India; I certainly do. I’ve taken well over 2000 photos in two weeks!

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.
