Sky high






If you look hard enough Bangkok has bars such as Sirocco and Breeze, where the elite gather to wine and dine on the rooftops with backdrops you'd expect to see through a plane window. Both of which I had to go and see due to them being designed by DWP with whom I was doing my internship.

We first arrived at Breeze on the 52nd floor where we were greeted by a man and a torch, he then led us down the stairs, highlighting every step with his tiny torch as if these were the first set of stairs we had ever taken. We finally found our way to the bar and ordered the most expensive drink I had bought so far in Thailand. They must have put their heart and sole in to the drink seeing as it took them around 20 minutes to make. 

Finishing in Sirocco on the 63rd floor, we sat in silence taking in the views. The atmosphere and views together made this one of my most enjoyable evenings in Bangkok. I would highly recommend it to anyone! I no longer minded paying the extra money for the
 drink, it was definitely worthwhile.

I thought it about time to start up a blog after an eye-opening summer


My summers are usually action-packed however this summer has been busier and better than ever. 


I started with a two month internship to Thailand with Design Worldwide Partnership (DWP) where the buzz never stopped, returning to the UK for a week before flying to sunny Spain to visit the grandparents on a much needed relaxed break. I then jumped on a flight to Venice where I caught a bus to Croatia for my first ever music festival, returning to the beautiful Venice a week later for a sadly rushed tourist day visit before flying home.

Now home awaiting the start of my third year of Interior Design at Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (BCU) plans for the future are top of the agenda, after passing this year with flying colours obviously :)
