Welcome to
Foodvagabonds
I am Michael .Photographer, Homefoodlover and Social Worker from Dortmund Germany! I am travelling the world since 2007 and got obsessed with cooking during my travels in Southeast asia and India. I love honest, traditional and authentic homecooking from all over the world- and for me the best way enjoy these dishes is being in the kitchen of a local family. Sometimes i couchsurf and other times i get invited by lovely people on the streets . I am sharing recipes & stories of the journeys with you and hope you like them as much as i do.
My life as a Social worker
In 2009 my Indian friend Murari Singh and I have established a Non profit organization in Bodhgaya , named A Bowl of Compassion. This is the place where i live most time of the year. We now run 2 schools of which one is a school for girls in a rural village. We also started a soupkitchen where we cook food for homeless and old people in great need. Back in 2009 i wanted to show that every person can make a change in this world. No matter how tiny the change is, but we can have a huge impact on other peoples live if we focus our energy for good.
This Blog
I have started this Food and Travel Website because i hope to grow it into a bigger Community. My aim is reaching as many people as possible through the passion of food and Travel, and the same time making the foodies participate at Bowl of Compassion. I will slowly start posting about the children and keep you updated on the happenings a the project.
If you are interested in supporting us please visit the website of A Bowl of compassion. www.bowlofcompassion.org
If you ever wanna come over to visit us in Bodhgaya, you can stay at our attached Guesthouse- Charity Backpackers.
