Denmark has an international reputation for being one of the happiest nations in the world, and hygge is widely recognised to be the magic ingredient.
It loosely translates as a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being.
You know hygge when you feel it.
It is when you are cuddled up on a sofa with a loved one, or sharing comfort food with your closest friends. It is cake and a warm beverage displayed on an elegant but simple table setting with a lit candle.
It is those crisp blue mornings when the light through your window is just right.
It is about gratitude and savouring the simple pleasures in life.
In short, it is the pursuit of everyday happiness.
Hooga? Hhyooguh? Heurgh? It is not really important how you pronounce or even spell it.
What is important is that you feel it…
