Hi, I’m Bhavie!

A 33-year-old flight attendant, currently living my best life in Doha, Qatar.

Some days I be enjoying my breakfast in Spain, coffee in Italy, tea in London, crêpes in France, or a glass of wine in Australia. Most days, though, I’d still choose my own home-cooked meal—one that only I might enjoy at 30,000 feet above the ground while on duty, if not in Doha.

This was all once just a dream. It hasn’t always been smooth and has often been met with turbulence, delays, and disruptions, but today I am proud to be one of the people who works in the sky and calls it my office.

My Background

The first time people meet me, they can rarely guess where I’m from. I wouldn’t either! Ethnically Indian but a third-generation Thai, I proudly introduce myself as Thai-Indian.

I was fortunate to grow up with the best of both worlds. I spent my school years in India, surrounded by the breathtaking Himalayas in Northen region of the country in Mussoorie, returning back and forth to Thailand during the holidays. Later, I completed my university in Bangkok, where I met people from all over the world. Having always been drawn to travel, choosing my major came naturally and I knew a career in aviation awaited me.

After graduating, I tried my luck in many roles that would allow me to balance work and family life and still pursue my dreams at the same time. During one summer, I was offered a part-time role teaching arts and crafts to children. It was then that I discovered how much I loved working with young learners and it seemed to me then that they enjoyed me too. That experience then led me into schools, where I worked in administration before moving into Early Years and Primary Education. I remained in education while quietly pursuing my dream of becoming a Flight Attendant.

My first Flight Attendant interview was with Emirates in 2014, around the time I graduated. From then until March 2022, my journey was filled with failures, setbacks, moments of giving up, and finding the courage to try again. After nearly a decade of perseverance, I was finally offered a position with Qatar Airways.

Looking back, it took almost ten years to prove to myself that the vision I carried wasn’t an impossible dream, but a calling that was simply waiting for the right time.

Today, I continue to explore the world as Cabin Crew, while pursuing another dream—writing children’s books inspired by resilience, hope, and believing in yourself. Through this blog, I hope to share my travels, experiences, lessons, and stories with you. Whether you’re here for travel inspiration, life in aviation, children’s books, or simply a good story, I’m so glad you’re here.
