First Winter Edition · February / March 2027 · 4–6 people
A small group of interesting people. One week inside Estonia. Real homes, people, food, nature, sauna and access you won't find in a guidebook.
€3,900 per person · 4–6 people
I'm curiousThere is no checklist of attractions here, no bus, no guide holding an umbrella in the air.
The week is built around the Estonia people actually live in — and around the four to six people you experience it with.
The story
A few years ago a handful of people from different countries came to Estonia. Some of them had never met. We went to the Otepää Sauna Marathon, sat in Estonian homes, ate too much, went to sauna, walked in the forest and talked late.
The trip ended. The relationships didn't. The WhatsApp group never went quiet. We have since visited each other in the United States and England. One of them has come back to Estonia twice, the second time with his family.
So I started wondering: what if something that happened naturally once could be created on purpose?
The first experiment
February / March 2027 · 6–7 days · 4–6 people
Tallinn, ideas, entrepreneurs, digital society and some of the people quietly shaping the country.
Homes, food, countryside, forest, local people, long dinners and sauna that lasts longer than planned.
Winter, cold water, sauna culture, Otepää and the legendary Sauna Marathon.
What definitely happens
Beyond that, the exact itinerary stays intentionally flexible. Some of the best things cannot be scheduled six months in advance.
The group is part of the experience. Four to six people who are curious about the world and good company for a week.
Four to six is not a room we ran out of. It is the size that made the first week work: small enough that everybody ends up in the same conversation, and small enough that I can build the week around who actually comes.
Not because they share a job title. Not because they work in the same industry. And definitely not because they already know each other.
Just interesting people doing something unusual together.
The week
Estonian Winter Edition
€3,900
The full week. Four to six people and the whole programme: Modern Estonia, Real Estonia, Slightly crazy Estonia — and the Sauna Marathon as the finale.
The price is per person for the first Winter Edition and does not include flights. This is an early invitation stage — tell me a little about yourself and we’ll talk it through on a call before anything is booked.

Triinu Epler
I'm the one who puts the group together, makes the calls and opens the doors — the homes, the sauna, the people you would never meet as a tourist.
I do this for a fairly simple reason: my brain switches on when I meet new people, and nothing makes me happier than putting a few of the right ones in the same room and watching what happens between them. That is what happened the first time, entirely by accident. This time I'm doing it on purpose.
Triinu on LinkedIn →The first group taught us something: what happens in Estonia doesn't have to stay there.
Every edition gets a small private WhatsApp group before arrival. It stays open afterwards. No platform, no forced engagement, no "community" — just a place to stay in touch if you want to.
We can create the conditions for genuine connection. We can't promise friendship, and we won't pretend to.
Estonia is where we meet.The connections are what travel home.
