My boyfriend and I took the train from Lund to Stockholm, a journey of six hours in total. We packed the cameras and the drone, got ready and set off with one single goal: to create memories and share them visually.
Our unique stay in a floating igloo
Our trip was memorable from beginning to end. The weather wasn't entirely on our side, but we made the most of every moment of sunshine that appeared and took full advantage of every opportunity to explore and capture the experience.
What made the stay truly special was how different it felt compared to a regular hotel. We always love stepping outside our comfort zone, and this unique place offered exactly that. Waking up surrounded by hundreds of boats, watching the marina slowly come to life each morning and feeling the calm rhythm of life on the water created an atmosphere that felt both refreshing and inspiring.
It wasn't just a place to sleep. It was an experience that let us slow down, appreciate our surroundings and enjoy a completely different side of travel.
A magical feeling of floating
What we loved most was the unique sensation of floating on the water. It created such a peaceful atmosphere that you simply can't find at a regular hotel. And even though it rained for most of the stay, it somehow made the whole experience even cosier.
Listening to the raindrops while being gently rocked by the marina's soft movements was incredibly relaxing. Waking up to a panoramic view straight from the bed was unforgettable: surrounded by nature, still water and hundreds of boats all at once.
