Between us this month Kike and I have done rather a lot of traveling. At the moment I am in Frankfurt after an intense two weeks in the London office, working hard I must add. My knowledge of German leaves nothing to be desired, so my trip has been incredibly eventful, on the other hand I am learning a lot about my self out here. My new found discoveries came to me like an epiphany, here are some of them:

  1. I am over reliant on the internet. In my defence upon arrival, not speaking and inch of German and with a long list of work related tasks that needed to be completed via the internet. My ‘no-internet’ induced panic attack was justified.
  2. Interning is hard, you have to be constantly prepared and ridiculously helpful at all times, but it is more than worth it.
  3. I miss my friends and family dearly. So much so, that I incurred 30 mins of roaming charges on my phone, helping my mum set up skype so I could talk to my parents, regularly.
  4. My sister is like my partner in crime, life is not as funny without her.
  5. I secretly enjoy having a corporate wardrobe Monday to Friday (shhhhhh!) . Although I am currently suffering from Loubiton envy. They are everywhere in the London office !

On the weekend I went to the top of one of Frankfurt’s highest building to take in the amazing views of Germany’s financial epi-centre. The office is the third building from the left, the view from my room on the 37th floor is just as breathtaking.

The best thing about working here is the 6 minute walk to work. Beats fighting to be squashed like a rat on the jubilee line to get to Canary Wharf any day. I walk under this bridge everyday, if I were a designer this would be inspiration for my ’12 Autumn/Winter Collection.

I’m looking forward to my last week in Frankfurt and coming home at the ripe old of age of 22! My childhood is officially over!
