A Dutch word for a cozy, comfy room; a warm and welcoming gathering, or a feeling of belonging
This has become one of our favorite Dutch words. It is a descriptive word that is also fun to say. It describes so many good moments. Moments when everything seems right in the world. Moments when you are with your people and want time to stand still. It is a word about a cozy space, but it is more than that. It is about something external but also about something that is hard to put words to. It is about the energy you bring, the hospitality, the total package…
