Last week brought guests from the Netherlands, Canada, and Sweden. This week the Austrians arrive. Next week, more Austrians, unrelated and unplanned.
June is our first time hosting anyone from Ukraine. Our first time hosting anyone from Spain. A family from Australia (not Austria again). Two Swiss bookings back-to-back. One Swedish booking in the middle.
That’s just June. The mad season is starting.
Eight countries finding their way to Humlegårdsstrand. A name you’ve probably never typed into a search bar. Most beautiful places have to scream for attention. This one mostly doesn’t. Almost nobody writes about it, and most Swedes have never been. No stores, no public transport, no way in except by car. A few cabins on a stretch of coast, and that’s about it. And yet here come the Ukrainians and Australians and Spaniards and Swiss, hiring cars at Arlanda and driving two and a half hours north.
We didn’t build the cabin to put Humlegårdsstrand on a map. We built it because we love it. That it’s doing the door-opening work for this stretch of coast is something we didn’t expect. We’re not going to pretend it doesn’t feel like something.
