So, go ahead. Be a little more Ziga. Your family doesn't need a better cottage. They just need a better way of being at the cottage.
Let’s be honest. Families fight. Especially in close quarters. What makes the Ziga family better is not that they never argue, but that they have a system.
You see, in our modern world, we have confused "better" with "more expensive." We think a better vacation requires a hot tub, a chef, or a renovated kitchen with quartz countertops. The Ziga family proves that better is actually about subtraction: less noise, less rush, less stuff.
The trip started the way all good cottage trips do: with a car packed to the ceiling and a heated debate about whether we brought enough snacks. (Spoiler: The Ziga family motto is apparently "Better safe than hungry," so we had enough food to survive a winter, let alone a weekend.)
