About Freya

Freya, our guide for this experience, is renowned as the ultimate forager and a true master of the natural world. With an innate connection to the countryside, Freya's keen eye and acute senses enable her to spot hidden flora, fauna, and edible treasures that elude most others. Her knowledge of plants, mushrooms, and herbs is encyclopedic, and she can identify even the rarest species with confidence. Freya's foraging prowess not only provides her with sustenance, but also fuels her passion for sharing her discoveries with others, leading workshops like this to impart her wisdom.
