Listen "72: Friluftsliv: The Word That Changed How I Live"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Living a Nordic Life, we dive into the Norwegian word friluftsliv — “open-air living” — and how it shapes everyday life in the Nordics. More than just spending time outside, friluftsliv is a philosophy, a way of weaving the natural world into the rhythm of daily living.I’ll share how discovering this single word shifted my perspective, teaching me to seek out fresh air and quiet moments no matter the season. From walks in the woods to simple pauses under the sky, friluftsliv became less about activity and more about presence, grounding, and joy.NEW BOOK now available - UK - https://amzn.eu/d/dGEJ8OWUS - Friluftsliv: How to love the outdoors like you're Nordic: McKinna, Fiona: 9798858660064: Amazon.com: Books For more Nordic living, visit the Living a Nordic Life www.livinganordiclife.comor join us in the Living a Nordic Life Facebook group www.facebook.com/groups/livinganordiclife
