Welcome to my online cozy corner, where we celebrate our love for coffee and the outdoors. In August, coffee enthusiasts like us celebrate National Coffee Month. It's a time of excitement and anticipation as we explore new blends and deepen our knowledge of coffee production. We also look forward to marking our calendars for National Coffee Day on September 29 and International Coffee Day on October 1.


I've recently become fascinated by the Norwegian concept of friluftsliv (pronounced free-loofts-liv), which focuses on spending time outdoors and connecting with nature. This idea resonates with me, and I've found a way to incorporate it into my life through my coffee routine. I find comfort in enjoying coffee outdoors, whether unwinding in the backyard, camping on the beach, or admiring the mountain view from a cozy deck. These moments have been some of the most peaceful and enjoyable times of my life, and I'm sure many of you can relate to the pleasure of a good cup of coffee in such settings.


Some Quotes that Beautifully Capture the Connection between Friluftsliv and Coffee
