When I was 17, I spent one year in Denmark as an exchange student. I loved learning the language and the culture of Denmark. One of my favorite things about Danish culture is the concept of hygge. It is a word that is hard to translate. It is a way of life that focuses on simple happy moments and savoring warm moments with family and friends. You feel hygge when you allow yourself to be in the moment and enjoy it fully. Danish people love hygge and I think that is why they are the happiest country in the world. Let’s hygge.
