From there, it journeys continent by continent — revealing the lavender fields of France, cherry blossoms of Japan, proteas of South Africa, poppy super-blooms in California, and hibiscus trails of Polynesia — all captured through engaging storytelling and accessible travel insights.Each part of the book explores how flowers shape cultures, art, cuisine, and spiritual traditions. Readers learn how to photograph blossoms respectfully, sketch in travel journals, plan eco-conscious routes, and experience the joy of global floral festivals.The final section transforms inspiration into action — offering a Traveler’s Floral Toolkit with ten practical bonus resources, including bloom calendars, route maps, market phrasebooks, budgeting sheets, and ready-made 7-day and 14-day itineraries.More than a travel guide, Around the World in Flowers is a mindful invitation to see the planet in full color — to travel slowly, gently, and sustainably, with deep respect for the natural world that blooms everywhere we go.
