WHAT WE DO
We are a lifestyle brand with a passion for traveling. We love unique experiences, we love good company. Our strong ties with Norway has led us to start exploring this vast country and reaching north to the Arctic, in Svalbard. It has also opened our minds to a unique way of traveling, designing one-of-a-kind hosted experiences. It's not only about the place, it's also about the people.
There was nowhere better to start our story - the top of the world, in the Arctic, 78°N. We continued our search, and today we host experiences in different edges of the world. Our mission eventually developed into a non-stop quest to discover more and more. How about yours?

MEET YOUR HOSTS
André Lucchesi
Founder of Livsta, entrepreneur and passionate traveler, André has created a deep connection with the Arctic and Norway through his friend and business partner, Odd Harald. Having hosted plenty of expeditions up north, it has shaped the way he started looking into his personal journeys, and consequently led to the idea of creating a company with the purpose of designing unique ways to travel.
Always in search of new destinations and connecting with people, André drives Livsta to design bespoke hosted experiences.
Odd Harald Hauge
Co-Founder of our hosted Svalbard and Norway expeditions, Odd Harald is the ultimate host and guide. He is a seasoned polar explorer, and a writer too. Odd is the most unique link to Norway one could ask for.
"Norway is one of the world's most complete travel destinations. We do small, private groups with personal guiding all the way. There will be surprises, but only those we have planned for you".
Børge Ousland
Norway's most famous Polar Explorer, Børge Ousland has accomplished many Arctic and Antarctic expeditions in the past 30 years, setting a few records and unique achievements along the way, pioneering treks that have pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible.
In 2010, Børge purchased Manshausen and built an award-winning boutique hotel. Børge is our host and guide for our expedition to those magical fjords and mountains.

FEEDBACKS
"Exploring Svalbard with Livsta's expertise made the experience even more special. From our base in Longyearbyen, we embarked on an unforgettable excursion, immersing ourselves in the stunning untouched landscapes and encountering incredible wildlife. Every step of the way was meticulously organized and took into consideration any needs we might have had. Every lodge was a surprise, every meal topped the previous one. André & Team make the journey easy and seamless, even for a less adventurer guest. Svalbard isn't just a destination; it's an unforgettable journey into the heart of the Arctic."

"Hands down the most breathtaking and extraordinary trip of my life! Apart from the impeccable organization, André and Odd Harald were profoundly knowledgeable and hospitable. There is an immense thrill in driving the snowmobile across endless kilometers of the most purest white plains and mountains that is too precious to put into words. Being able to experience nature's potent generosity, in its rawness, is something I highly highly recommend. The delicious food and hospitality across the entirety of the trip, was not only surprising but mouth watering too. I'm already looking forward to going again soon!! Thank you!"
