Description
Hi! My name is Femke, I am 26 years old, Dutch and currently in Morocco. Normally I live in Amsterdam, but I am totally done with living the fast city life. Two years ago I travelled through Spain and since I came back to the Netherlands I wanted to go back as soon as possible. I want to discover the simplistic lifestyle and learn more about this through communities/helping others, culture, sustainable living, nature and gardening/permaculture. In other words: enjoying life to the fullest and consciously.

I studied Nutrition and Dietetics and did a vegetarian culinary school. After that I worked for a year as a cook in a vegetarian restaurant and helped at some retreats in the kitchen as well, so yes I definitely love everything that has to do with (healthy) food!

Besides cooking/food I have a lot of interests, but most of my free time I spend on learning more about Ayurveda, yoga, foraging/plants, spirituality, crochet and I love photography and reading as well

I would describe myself as a social, positive, flexible, independent and organized person. I like peace and stillness, but at the same time I definitely like some craziness, so I am always in for adventure and making good memories. Besides my hobbies I am always in to learn about anything and everything and I am definitely not afraid to make my hands dirty!

I was for 5 days at Ros her place and I really enjoyed it! Ros is such a nice person, very welcoming, interested and she makes such delicious vegetarian food.

Femke was a pleasure to have in the house and at our small farm. She just got on with it all and stuck into the work enthusiastically. After we showed her what to do the first day she would head to the fields and get the job done. Súper independent. It also goes without mentioning that she herself had a really positive energy and her culinary and… read more

I stayed at Becki's and Marco's place for just 1,5 week, but I had a great time! Becki is a really open and welcoming person and always wanted to help me with whatever. With another workawayer I cleaned/cut back the land and they were very flexible with what day and what time we wanted to work. The location and surroundings are really beautiful… read more

Ruud is such a sweet, smart, funny and really relaxed man! Because of him I could ground and enjoy every little thing. The communication was really good and there was always space for a deep talk (he has many wise words) or some funny jokes. There was a perfect balance of doing fun things together (going to the beach, drink a coffee) and time for… read more

Femke stayed a full three weeks at my farm. Work consisted mostly on planting, weeding, watering, assisting,... in the vegetable garden. Most of the time she also took charge of the cooking. How did it go? Very simple, after hosting around 200 helpers Femke has been the best ever, number 1. Strong, energetic, communicative, common sense, clean,… read more
