In case you didn’t know, Tina’s Danish. This category therefore contains articles and videos from and about Denmark.
“Hygge” – an insigt into Danish culture
“Hygge” is a very essential issue in Danish culture. There is no literal translation of the word, but when something is “hyggeligt” it is definitely comfortable and cosy.

“Hygge” is also often associated [...]
No television (TV) – saves me 3 hours a day in Denmark
