Welcome to Vistasdalen! Outdoor, travel and creating a lifestyle we love is a priority for us. And we want to give this opportunity to you as well. Our whole lives have been spent in nature in one way or another. We don’t claim to be professionals, we claim to be naturals.
If you are looking to hear common peoples’ perspective on living a nomadic lifestyle, spending time in nature and travelling to see more wonderful places, you’ve come home.
It's time to give back
My name is Miryam Lundmark, and I travel the world and explore together with my husband Sebastian. We live in a van that we outfitted ourselves. It is our baby, and we are constantly looking for new ways to improve it. Sometimes we travel to do volunteer work, sometimes we travel to get new perspectives and sometimes we travel merely to get new experiences.
I was born in Kiruna, Swedish Lapland and after some years away I moved back to spend more time with family and the mountains. I was brought up thinking of nature as a gift, not an enemy. This made us kids loving to be outside, making fires, watching the Northern lights and ski down the mountains.
Our family has always had somewhere to retreat, and one of my absolute favourite places has always been my grandmothers log cabin by the Kalix river.
Everyday life caught me somehow, and I didn’t manage to do all the things I wanted to. After meeting Sebastian and realising we wanted something else for ourselves than the constant chase of material goals, we sold most of our belongings and our renovated home and moved into a 15m² log cabin in the woods.
This has given us the opportunity to create the lifestyle we wanted to have. Now we’re more movable and on the go. The entrepreneurial morale of the people we surround ourselves with, the industriousness and the ability to relax in nature molded and shaped us to become better versions of ourselves and to reach new goals.
Now it’s time for us to give back.
Why Vistasdalen?
The highest wish on our gift list when we were getting married was a tent to be able to spend more time outdoor. As soon as we could, we went on our first trip. With the bright yellow canoe on the roof of our old Toyota Carina, we set out with one goal. Vistdasdalen.
Vistasdalen, or Vistas Valley is located on the foot of Kebnekaise. It’s ridiculously scenic and with vistas few people have seen. Paddling upstream, we heard nothing else but the birds and our own breaths. The water flowed silently beneath us and we took time to reflect. After some hours we stopped, set camp and started the fire.
This was when a thought started to grow. Maybe we could create a lifestyle for ourselves that meant more time to unwind, to explore and to enjoy life. Maybe we could share the experience with others. Maybe we could use our know-how to teach others to not be afraid of the great outdoors.
Seeing vistas is a wonderful thing. But to vistas is another. It’s a Swedish verb with the meaning to dwell, to exist. A pause, one deep breath at a time.
We present to you: Vistasdalen. Lifestyle, memories, discoveries.
