The Blue Flower - Born in January, 2015
Creating this blog wasn´t as easy as I imagined it would be. The first obstacle to overcome was my blog's theme. What should it be about? I love travelling but I also love fashion and everything that comes with it. And of course I love great food. So how could I link my preferences? One would probably call it a lifestyle blog but I guess I didn´t want it to be just another lifestyle page out of thousands. Then I realized that every single blog on the internet is different, because the authors are, and actually everybody is. So the themes and the topics may be the same but the words and the pictures aren´t. I guess this is something I just will have to work on, and I know it will take some time.
The next difficult thing was finding an appropriate name for my blog. I went through various titles, looking for one that would be the most significant to me.
So I began to ask myself, why I even want to travel and why I enjoy it so much. I think I'm driven by Wanderlust. I have the desire to discover as many places as possible and up to today I have been to several different countries. But of course there still are hundreds left to see - thank God! Because, how sad would it be to know every single spot in the world?
I recalled my German classes in High School and remembered learning about Romanticism - a literary movement in which people and especially poets were driven by wanderlust. A symbol for the desire to travel to foreign places was The Blue Flower. It stands for love, desire and the striving for the unreachable and infinite.
So, thanks for stopping by & I hope you enjoy what's to come.
