Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Nina Agdal is all about that hygge life. “It’s the traditional Danish word that you can't actually translate into any word because it's so many [things],” the supermodel shared with HOLA! USA during her latest trip home to Denmark. “It kind of means like cozy, family time. It can include games or a drink or just hanging out watching TV, but it's like a social setting where there's a certain mood of just pure relaxation.” And that’s exactly how she feels when she touches down in her native country. “It depends on work, but I try to come back at least twice a year.”
For her most recent visit, one very special person wasn’t able to make the trip that included a stay at Moxy Copenhagen Sydhavnen – her boyfriend Jack Brinkley Cook. “He loves it,” she added. “He's so jealous right now. He's like, ‘Don't send me anymore pictures. I can't handle it.’”

One aspect that Nina, who is from Hillerød, Denmark, misses about her native country is how she feels when she is there. “It's a different mentality I find from America. I love living in the U.S, but it's a very different mentality in the way you live, and you kind of just don't seem to stress so much.”
With the season of travel upon us, the Koio sneaker designer wanted to ensure packing isn’t a contributing factor to those stresses. Though she won’t be able to get away until the fall because of Jack’s new business venture, keep scrolling to see what Nina always includes for her jetsetter lifestyle.

“I bring a swimsuit with me everywhere, even if there's no beach. You never know what's going to happen! Maybe we're going to play with a hose or something."
