Alsborg, Denmark

 In this wind-blown country at the conjunction of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea is the happiest country on earth. Why? Because Denmark has a sense of the cozy: a feeling of safety and being cared for, called Hygge. It is a non-judgmental sense of warmth, acceptance and mutual respect. Decor can be messy and a hodgepodge. Hair can be crazy wild. 

There are no guns. Little crime. And there is Aquavit, a caraway-flavored spirit that means the water of life. 

Skoal!!
