David Krug (Sweden)

David stopped eating a standard diet in 2010 and became a primarily banana based fruitarian. In 2011 he decided to move to Africa because of the animals, the climate and the fruit. He researched many of the African countries for 3 months both online and in person and in the autumn of 2013 he went all in. He quit his job, sold his apartment and moved to South Africa. After 2,5 years he finally found his dream house with elephants, hippos and other wild animals at his garden for the rent of a Swedish apartment. Today he is in many ways living a dream life in Africa but also still facing many challenges including an online income rollercoaster and dreams to help other fruitarians move to the same area. At the festival David will be giving a talk in two parts called ‘Living the fruitarian dream in Africa – can we make the Utopia come true?’ David is also a keen skateboarder and has built a half pipe on a truck with the goal to keep both him self and local kids moving wherever he stays.
