AquaStay was born from one world meeting another world, Australia meeting the Arctic, & seeing this place with different eyes, no local blindness, but with wonder & amazement.
Born and growing up in Perth, Western Australia I, Michael, was never far from water. Coming from an aquatic family being in, or on, water was normal. The ocean to me was a sanctuary from life, as it is for many Aussies. |
When I, along with my partner Lotta, were shown the local waterways by our neighbour Janne we were taken by the experience. It was amazing to be on a river where we saw no-one else anywhere on the water.
We envisioned the opportunity for others to stay, or live, on the water in peace & solitude and experiencing this amazing land by its waterways. Something to share, but with likeminded people....and so AquaStay was born. |

Michael :
There is so much more to it. From very early on my time here in the north of Sweden has been an amazing adventure of discovering this lands natural resources & the locals intimate link to it. Living in the Arctic region forces you to reconnect through 8 seasons of wondrous change. And the water here is so pure & natural. I see an Eco tourism opportunity here for the world to visit nature, on its terms. |
Lotta :
What a Journey! After many years in Australia it was time to come back to Sweden. Michael and I decided Lapland was the place for us. The fact that the region is different from the rest of the country, like a country in its own right, became a challenge and experience we just couldn't resist. This place is calm and wonderous, simply begging to be shared with likeminded people, to be looked after, nurtured and experienced naturally. We want to help keep Lapland the way it is, to show others what we see, to share its beautiful waterways the best way possible, the Eco Tourism and the Do No More Harm way. Welcome to AquaStay to see the beauty of the Arctic river, our way. |
