After escaping corporate prison, I can plan a holiday without having to worry files in the office or using all my annual leave for the first time, so I decided to go all out!
I voyaged 19 towns/cities in 9 countries over 106 days' time and had an utterly crazy and equally amazing time. Fleur-wise, I met some exceptional people and floral designers, visited numerous gardens, markets and shops for inspirations and also attended a few floral courses to hone my skills.
