Description

Hi! My name is Femke, I am 27 years old, Dutch and currently in India. Normally I live in Amsterdam, but I am travelling for more than a year to get out of the fast city life. I want to discover the simplistic lifestyle and learn more about all the different (food)cultures, permaculture, gardening, plants (medicine), carpentry and living in communities; basically just everything that brings me closer to nature and sustainable living. 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 during my travels I helped at some retreat places in the kitchen as well. So yes my biggest passion is (healthy) food and cooking!

Besides cooking/food I have a lot of interests, but most of my free time I spend on learning more about Ayurveda, yoga, gardening, plant medicine/foraging, spirituality and I love photography, reading and talking and learning about cultures/religions/philosophies 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 craziness too, 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!
