FJAKA

The “day-dreamy” state of mind one experiences when their sole obligation is to be present and immersed in their immediate surroundings, or the art of doing nothing, mastered by the Croatian residents of the Dalmatian coast.

^^ I struggled and still struggle translating “fjaka.” I struggle finding the right words to describe something that’s meant to be experienced and, most importantly, enjoyed. These images evoke the feeling of fjaka to me, maybe they will for you too.
