It seems that feeling a sense of excitement or “flutter” is a good thing.
When you’ve lived for many years, your way of thinking can become rigid. But when you feel that spark of excitement, your true emotions come out, and happiness hormones seem to be secreted.
In my case, I’m going to Europe for the first time in fifteen years, and it will surely be a wonderful stimulus. Until now, because of the aftereffects of an accident, I had thought it would be completely impossible for me to go abroad, so I’m truly happy that I can go—especially with my daughter. I’m sure one of those happiness hormones such as dopamine, is being released right now.
ときめくことはいいみたいね。長年生きていると思考が凝り固まってしまうみたい。ときめくことによって、ほんとうの自分の感情が出て幸せなホルモンが分泌されるみたいね。
僕なら、今回１５年ぶりにヨーロッパに行くけど、やはりいい刺激になるよね。これまでは事故の後遺症で行くことは到底無理だったと思っていたから行けることがうれしい。しかも娘を連れて。きっと幸せホルモンの一つのドーパミンが出ているんだろうな。

You could also say "a wonderful experience".
A stimulus is more something that provokes a response, eg. if you touch a Venus flytrap you have provided the stimulus needed for it to close its trap. Or another example is light hit the back of the eye and stimulates the brain to create sight.
With that being said, you CAN say "stimulatING" for experiences or places, which means "arousing enthusiasm or ideas." So you could say "it will surely be a stimulating experience" for something that gets your brain working with lots of thoughts and ideas.
If something is too overwhelming to the senses, you could say it "overstimulated" you. This seems to be becoming a very popular word on social media. For example, "that party was too loud and there were too many people, so I feel completely overstimulated now and I need to go and lie down in a dark room."
I think it could be helpful to think of these 3 words as different words with very different applications, despite their similarity.
Until now, because of the aftereffects of an accident, I had thought it would be completely impossible for me to go abroad, so I’m truly happy that I can go—especially with my daughter.

Missed comma.

Excellent work - I only really had 1 minor correction on the word "stimulus." Sorry if my explanation is a bit long, I went off on a bit of a tangent there, but I hope it is useful information for you.

Thank you for your explanation. It has helped me very much.
