11 cozy words we collected on our travels

Taylor and I keep catching words that don't quite translate. The Dutch gezellig, when a kitchen is warm because the people in it are warm. The Swedish gökotta, when you wake on purpose to hear the birds. The Turkish kahvaltı, when breakfast is slow because the company is good.

So we made a poster for each, plus 2 of our own (small joys, glimmers), the things we built RoHaus around. Print them, set one as your phone wallpaper, give your class a word of the day. Whatever helps you live a little of them.

Keep wandering: how to hunt for a glimmer, 8 Paper Trails cards you can print today, and the Wanderings sticker sheets for your notebook.

the letters

Want the letters too?

Long Story Long is our free letter, about once a month, from wherever we are. The posters above are yours either way.

We'll only write when there's something to say. The list lives on Substack and you can leave it anytime.

what's on the posters

11 posters. Here are 4 we keep coming back to.

1.

Hygge

Denmark. Cozy hangouts and good vibes. Sitting with friends, sharing food, laughing, feeling safe together.

2.

Fika

Sweden. A deliberate break for coffee and something sweet. The kind that ends with everyone still sitting there an hour later.

3.

Gökotta

Sweden. Waking early on purpose to hear the birds sing. A whole word for a whole morning.

4.

Glimmers

RoHaus. The small joys, the tiny moments of cozy you find in the magic of the everyday. One of two we added ourselves.

from the makers

There's more in the library, and more on the way.
