Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

Without a doubt, my three-day tour in the Salar de Uyuni – the famous salt flats of Bolivia – was one of the highlights of my trip so far. There was beautiful scenery, much laughter, and the chance to take some of the most unique photos of my life – where the blue sky and the white salty earth collide, there exists a desert in which you can take all sorts of crazy perspective photos. You can hold your friend in your hand, you can attack a dinosaur, you can jump out of a Pringles can, you can roll a ball one thousand times your size, you can kiss a giant teddy bear, you can fit in a shoe. We only had one hour to take photos, but we tried to make the best of it; the intense sun makes it nearly impossible to see the camera screen, so it was only afterwards, when we were back in the car, that we could see which photos worked and which didn’t. We could have stayed for hours, filled with creativity and energy and excitement, making the impossible possible, making the unreal real.

Salar de Uyuni was the most challenging trip I have ever been on…having said that it was definitely one of the best as well. The beauty there is truly indescribable.

Hi Brenna, I was just wondering if you’d recommend the tour company you used for the salt flats, and if so, who were they? 🙂
Thanks!

I have never seen a blog with photo essays and I love the idea! It is so cool. These also made me really happy because I will be going to Bolivia early next year. I read another one of your pieces earlier on a girl called ‘Rebecca’ that was having trouble picking between her relationship and travelling. I wrote something about this recently on my own blog. My blog is a baby in comparison to yours. I don’t compromise on what I want and I dare to want it all and work hard for it. Finally, I wanted to ask if you think Facebook is a must for a travel blog? I have been considering opening a page for a while. Love your work 🙂 can’t wait to read more. PS: I also want to do a creative writing Masters!

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.
