About me Let me introduce myself... I'm Fleur, 22 years old and I currently live and study in London. I have been vegan since may 2014 and it's one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Since I was little I loved animals, but just like most of us, I didn't make the connection between the meat on my plate and the animal that had to die for it. I'd never thought I would go vegetarian, let alone vegan. I have to admit, I became vegan for health reasons but after watching a few scenes from Earthlings (I just couldn't watch it), I knew I could never eat any animal product again.
This whole vegan journey started when I created my Instagram account Nourishingfoods more than 6 years ago. I wrote an E-book (that you can buy here), met some amazing people and learned much about myself and plant based eating. Because of veganism I became very aware of how detrimental the effects of animal agriculture are on the environment. With this interest in the environment, I started studying Future Planet Studies at the University of Amsterdam which is a study that focusses on environmental problems and sustainability. On this blog I will also share what I learn and give tips on how to live as sustainable as possible.
Till now on, I wanted to make my own blog where I can share my recipes, write product reviews and informational articles and so on. I hope I can inspire people to eat (more) plant foods and to live a environmentally sustainable and healthy life style.
