Heyy common people! Today's post is all about this new word that became an add-on to my daily routine!


First, let me explain the title, What is fika? well, for simplicity, it is a Swedish word that translates to coffee break. But, let me tell you a secret, it is W A Y M O R E than just a coffee break.


traditionally, it also includes pastries!

"It has been described as a social institution or even phenomena."

This little word can change your mood completely, at least that is what it has done to me. When you need to relax, bond and blow off some steam, fika is the perfect time. But...


How do I fika?


That is the easy part! you can do it whenever, with whomever and wherever you want. The only requirement is to drink coffee (tea can be an alternative) and a pastry, traditionally in Sweden they eat fikabröd but a muffin, cinnamon roll or any pastry will do the trick!

It is this beautiful ritual that, in my opinion is sooo underrated. Fika can help you pass time with a friend or family, be the activity fo a business meeting, even a date! So, its your choice to take fika into the environment that you want!



I hope you try going fikaing with your friends! See you on my next post, Ciao!
