2012 - My year in travel!

I had set myself a goal in 2012 to travel overseas as much as possible! (As well as visiting lots of new places within the UK). I love revisiting places but it's my ambition to discover lots of new & exciting destinations, I have a huge wish list of places that I want to explore & I'm really excited to book more spontaneous trips for 2013! There really is a big wide world out there so I'm saving lots to go on lots of adventures!

I was lucky enough to visit Paris for the second time along with exploring Edinburgh, Barcelona, Milan, Stockholm & the beautiful Cape Verde Islands for the very first time!

Have you travelled this year? Where is your dream destination? I'd love to hear your thoughts, you can share your comments below...

I feel truly blessed that my job allows me to have this freedom. I work crazy hours sometimes but I'm really rewarded with the flexibility that it brings. I regularly travel to London for work along with visiting lots of design shows & galleries in & around Europe! I'm a spontaneous person & LOVE the unknown so I'm looking forward to seeing where my design career takes me!

Barcelona!

Back in May I visited the wonderful Barcelona & my camera is now full of fresh inspiration ready to inspire an exciting new design collection! I visited so many wonderful places it really was a busy but very beautiful trip! Here are a selection of images from my visit to 'Caso Batlo' which is one of my favourite Gaudi buildings.

Barcelona really is crammed with lots of eye candy & is such a treat for any creative, I hope to go back there one day. You may also enjoy my earlier colour post & my images from Parc Guell.

Hope these images inspire you too!

Parc Guell

Today I wanted to share with you some more images from my recent trip to Barcelona. Out of all the amazing Gaudi buildings that I visited, one of my favourites was Parc Guell. The beautiful Parc was hidden away at the top of  a hill, the decorative architecture was located in it's own organic paradise. It really was a stunning destination to visit.

Colour in Barcelona!

I recently visited beautiful Barcelona! I roamed the hustling streets in search of colour and inspiration I was blown away by the stunning architecture and innovative Gaudi buildings. Amongst all the grand beauty I was drawn to the simplicity of the small colourful details around the city. Here are a selection of images from my inspiring trip.

I'll be sharing some more inspiring images over the coming weeks!
