10 Gorgeous Lavender Fields around the World + Where to find them #Travel inspiration series

The first time I saw a picture of lavender fields was a couple of years ago, it just seem like unreal to me. And later I find out that it’s located in Provence region, France.Ever since then, I have been dreaming to visit one of this place.

Having lived in tropical country, I have not experienced spring blossoms or field of flowers yet. Since these kinds of flowers are such a seasonal fields ( if you go the wrong season , you probably end up seeing nothing). And going to France is not always easy for everyone, both time and money.

So I have researched the places around the world that has the stunning lavender fields. You will never know , one of these places is near your home city..

(1)Largest Lavender Fields in the World, Bulgaria
