Welcome to Euphoric Flowers! The place where my flowers turn into Euphoria!
The story begins about three years ago, when I heard some news that changed my life forever. I won’t go into too much detail as it’s a pretty sad story and that’s not what this blog is all about!
Anyway, I heard this news about three years ago and it really motivated me to grab life by the horns and embrace everything this world has to give head on. Obviously, the way that everyone embraces everything that life has to give is to pack up their shit and to take it around the world.
And that’s exactly what I did!
My Journey
I’ve been a fair few places around the world by now but let’s start at the very beginning – it’s a very good place to start. I hopped on a plane from Stanstead and flew allllll the way to Dubai for a magical two months. I am lucky enough to have some very kind family out there who let me live with them while I eased into the traveling lifestyle. It was great to assimilate myself into a culture that was so different from my own and it opened my eyes to just how much there was to see in the world. From there, the travelling bug had officially bitten me and I was soon looking for the next place my wandering feet would take me to.
It just so happened that that next place was India, a daunting prospect for some, but a challenge that I was ready to face on – especially as I was travlling with my two female cousins. However, I had a great time in India. I worked in an International School as a teaching assistant and I was always treated with the utmost respect. The food was amazing, the country was beautiful and I can honestly say, I made some lifelong friends during my time in India – some that I still speak to daily to this very day!
Then it was onto the next stop on my travel journey, the age old backpackers stop of Thailand. I went to Bangkok first and it was way more of a metropolis than I ever imagined. There were so many people from the UK there, I felt like I had never really left! Okay, that’s an exaggeration, but there was an overwhelming amount of British people in the city. I enjoyed the food here and this is also where I said goodbye to my cousins and began travelling along.
Travelling alone is a whole different kettle of fish. There’s no familiar comfort and it’s a little bit scary but once you dive right in, it’s absolutely thrilling.
Once I was in Thailand, all my experiences sort of blend into one marvellous blur of excitement and good times. There was Bali, New Zealand, Australia, Russia, USA, Canada, South Africa, Mozambique… and the journey’s only just beginning!
What can I say, life is short, you have to explore all the pages of the book.
My Story
I’ve popped this bit at the bottom as I know you’re probably here to hear all about my travels and pick up some tips if you’re going on some travels of your own.
I’m pretty simple. My Name is Becky Flowers, I’m from a seaside town on the South coast of the UK called Bournemouth where I’ve lived all my life. I never moved away for University and I only ever travelled to the very nearest countries for typicaly British holidays.
I am currently single, but you never know what could happen. There are billions of people in the world, maybe I’ll meet the perfect person on my travels!
