    My Heart’s Still In Mirissa

    by Brenna Holeman July 23, 2010
    by Brenna Holeman July 23, 2010

    Mirissa, Sri Lanka I would do anything to be back there, where the beer is always cold, the nights are always long, and the fish jump right out of the ocean.

About Me

About Me

Hi, I'm Brenna

After travelling to more than 100 countries over the past 19 years, many of them solo, I write about travel a lot but I write about other things, too: break ups, buying way too much jewellery, and whisky, for example (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 now a single mom to a beautiful little 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.
