El Nido, The Philippines

There are days when I whinge, whinge about being stressed and about having deadlines and about a sore back and about not sleeping because of the heat. Whinge about missing my boyfriend. Whinge about my job. Whinge about too many dishes in the sink and not enough beer in the fridge.

But really, when I look at these photos, when I realize I was there only a few weeks ago, watching one of the most incredible sunsets I’ve ever seen – do I really have the right to whinge?

These sunset shots are incredible! I love the silhouettes the fading light casts.

Thank you! I’d love to go back one day.

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 17 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 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.
