Modern Estonia
Tallinn, ideas, entrepreneurs, digital society and some of the people quietly shaping the country.
First Winter Edition · 3–8 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.
I'm curiousNo checklist of attractions. No guide holding an umbrella in the air.
A week built around local lives and the people sharing it.
The story
A few years ago, people from different countries came to Estonia. Some were strangers. We shared homes, sauna, forest walks, long dinners and the Otepää Sauna Marathon.
The trip ended. The relationships didn't. Our WhatsApp group stayed active. We visited each other in the US and England. One guest returned twice, later with his family.
Could we create that experience again, this time on purpose?
The first experiment
3–8 March 2027 · 6 days · 4–6 people
We meet at Tallinn Airport on 3 March at 18:30 (local Estonian time).
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
The rest stays flexible. Some of the best things cannot be scheduled.
The group is part of the experience: 4–6 curious people, good company for a week.
Small enough for one conversation, and for me to build the week around who comes.
Just interesting people doing something unusual together.

Triinu Värno
I bring the group together and open the doors — to homes, sauna and people you wouldn't meet as a tourist.
My brain switches on when I meet new people. Nothing makes me happier than bringing a few of the right ones together and seeing what happens. The first time was an accident. This time, it's on purpose.
