Street Art Of Yogyakarta

written by Brenna Holeman July 16, 2011

Yogyakarta, Indonesia

 

 

The days of Indonesia are heaven, filled with shopping in the markets for ornate masks and chunky rings, eating chicken with pineapple and bananas, drinking cold Bintang beers at night, walking alongside lush green rice paddies, motorbiking through cloud-covered mountains, sampling delicious Java coffee, playing with monkeys, and laughing as hard as my sides will allow before they split.

 

I only have eleven days of my adventure left, or at least this leg of it. We are going to spend those days on the Gili Islands off of Lombok, scuba diving and swimming and soaking in as much of this paradise as we possibly can.

 

I say it in every post, but really, oh really, I don’t want it to end.

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.
