Come alone.Experience our Estonia.

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.

Length

4–6 people

A week inside Estonia.
Not a week visiting Estonia.


No checklist of attractions. No guide holding an umbrella in the air.

A week built around local lives and the people sharing it.

The story

It happened once by accident.

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

Estonian Winter Edition

3–8 March 2027 · 6 days · 4–6 people

We meet at Tallinn Airport on 3 March at 18:30 (local Estonian time).

Modern Estonia

Tallinn, ideas, entrepreneurs, digital society and some of the people quietly shaping the country.

Real Estonia

Homes, food, countryside, forest, local people, long dinners and sauna that lasts longer than planned.

Slightly crazy Estonia

Winter, cold water, sauna culture, Otepää and the legendary Sauna Marathon.

What definitely happens

Seven things I can promise you now.

  • The Otepää Sauna Marathon. The finale of our winter week.
  • Estonian homes. You sit in them. You eat in them. Nobody is performing for you.
  • Forest. Walked in, not photographed from a car park.
  • Sauna that lasts longer than planned. It always does.
  • Cold water. Always your choice.
  • Tallinn, from the inside. Meet people quietly shaping the country.
  • Long dinners. The kind that end far later than anyone intended.

The rest stays flexible. Some of the best things cannot be scheduled.

You don't need to bring anyone.
Actually, I'd rather you didn't.


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.

  • No networking agenda
  • No forced icebreakers
  • No conference badges

Just interesting people doing something unusual together.

Your host

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.

The week

6 days. The practical things taken care of.

Estonian Winter Edition

€3,900

Per person

Includes accommodation, all meals, local transport during the programme, shared activities and Sauna Marathon participation, with Triinu and Bob hosting the week.

Flights to and from Estonia are not included. If you’d like to explore independently outside the programme, those plans and costs are yours to arrange.

Nothing is booked yet. Leave your details and we’ll talk through the week before you commit.

I'm curious

The flight home shouldn't be the end.


A private WhatsApp group opens before arrival and stays open afterwards. No forced engagement. 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.
