Hi, I’m Robyn 
I call myself Girl on Raw, as my blog focus is on health & wellbeing and although I don’t follow a 100% raw diet, I aim to maintain a high raw diet as well as a wholesome attitude to life, which doesn’t only encompass what I eat, but also how I live my life.
I am Australian, however I now live in Saudi Arabia, but I travel plenty through both my former career as an international flight attendant (both commercial and private jets), and just simply a wanderlust to see and experience the world. I’ve also lived in Scotland and England too.
As a health nut and devoted foodie, I have turned my passion and enjoyment for all things delicious and nutritious into a lifestyle that I take great pleasure in sharing with people.
In April 2010, I attended Matthew Kenney’s 105 degrees Academy in Oklahoma City, USA for training in the Fundamentals of Raw Cuisine, Level 1, where I was trained directly by UK’s leading raw chef, Russell James. Here I expanded on my knowledge and practice as a High Raw ‘foodie’. Whilst there, I connected with other raw chefs, I ate more food than I ever have and I came away feeling clear, healthy and I even released a few kilos/lbs, without even trying! You can read more about my time at 105 degrees here:

I am currently undertaking a Diploma in Clinical Nutrition to complement my culinary skills learnt from 105degrees.
In addition to this blog, I also conduct raw food classes/workshops, catering, wellness coaching, raw food counselling, public speaking & personal chef. Click here for more information.
I can’t believe there’s RAW food school! haha cool~your blog is beautiful and you seem down to earth. Keep on Raw-in’!…?
Aw thanks Ellie. I only just saw this message
Beautiful, Ambitious, and Raw. Total Package! I’m inspired! Thanks for the blog.
Hi Robyn!
I just stumbled across your blog while looking for a recipe for adzuki beans and I’m so glad I found it! I’m currently living in Canada but I lived in Bahrain for 5 years prior to coming here for university – small world!! I can’t wait to have a look around your blog and browse some of your recipes, as I’m looking for more raw ones to incorporate into my diet. Keep up the great work!
Wow Angela! You must be sad to see what is happening to Bahrain right now? Very sad
Nice to ‘meet’ you and thanks for stopping by!
Good evening… I see that you mentioned, “Diploma in Clinical Nutrition to complement my culinary skills learnt from 105degrees.” Is this a local class at a college or on-line? I have been enjoying your site.
My Diploma is online, I’ll email you the details if you like?
Please, I would like that. nouveauraw@gmail.com
Thanks!
I’d love to know what online nutrition course you are taking! Thanks, Nancy
Hi,
maybe you could pass those details on to me as well?:)
Sure drop me an email
hello!
may you please email the info too about the diploma program online 
I’m so glad you stopped by my site! I am not thoroughly intrigued by this 105 degree school you went to!! I want to go!
Wow, girl! You have such an amazingly interesting life! So cool! I look forward to following along!!!! Email me..where did you get your nutrition certs? I am always looking to update my certs, especially ones that support the plant based philosphy. I have a few in fitness nutrition and the Clinical Nutrition I studied years ago is not longer around.
I wish 105 degrees was here in Philly. I have longed to go there for a few years now.
Wow, you have lived a ton of places! I’m kind of jealous
My husband and I have talked about trying to work abroad for a year when we finish grad school, but at this point it’s just a pipe dream.
It will happen if you want it bad enough
Loved finding your blog! And thanks for visiting mine. I was actually raw for about 18 months a few years ago while I was living in England, India and Israel. How do you find it in Saudi Arabia – I thought the middle east had some of the most amazing food and raw food I’ve ever tasted. I’m a pescatarian now, but you’ve inspired me to concentrate on more living foods again, less refined stuff – which is hard to do when I’m working flat tac. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for visiting my blog. This site is fascinating – I have to admit to being pretty unaware of raw food and this has made me think – cooked food tends to be my default position and perhaps i could be thinking about more raw options.
Hey no worries LIz, I quite liked your blog. And yes I love that fact that raw food doesn’t just have to be lettuce, carrot sticks and an apple.
I’m glad I found your site. I started making raw desserts 2 years ago and have been hooked every since.
I tend towards vegetarism most times but still haven’t made the jump, but I’m inching closer
Raymond
Hey glad you stopped by. Raw desserts are pretty unbeatable
Hey, Robyn,
Just discovered your blog and I am loving all the content and resources – well done! I’m curious: you mentioned you were a flight attendant and I’ve heard that flight attendants have to fight off sickness a LOT more than the average person, due to spending so much time in planes. Did you find that the benefits of eating raw enabled you to stay healthier than other attendants?
Thanks for your time!
