Why us?
Travel with us
Travelling can be eye opening. Life-changing. Exciting. No matter why you travel, our aim is to make your trip special and enriching. Book one of our trips and bring home unforgettable memories to share for years.
Extraordinary Experiences
We’re enormously excited about the trips we offer, based around some of our favourite experiences.
Each of our tours is different, but we will always include the highlights of the destinations that you visit, combined with equally fascinating sites off the beaten path and unique experiences that will help you immerse in new places to learn, grow, and connect.
Our itineraries are carefully crafted and researched, as we understand that often it’s the small and unexpected details that can transform a good trip into an amazing trip. Where possible, we build in the flexibility to modify itineraries to fit in with local opportunities, such as visiting a nearby festival or local market.
We give our guests free time to explore each destination on their own, do some shopping, visit a spa or museum, or just relax. We don’t sell packages with a full day of touring without any downtime or the opportunity to eat, walk, and explore on your own. We believe this is too exhausting and prevents our guests from leaving with good memories. A nice balance between free time and touring is our idea of a perfect holiday. We do however give suggestions on what to do, we can certainly add another tour to your day.

Our Core Values
We believe in regenerative travel, which doesn’t just aim to leave a lighter footprint on places visited, but to help our destinations regenerate and grow even stronger in the future. We take this role as a regenerative tourism operator seriously and are determined to give back to communities we work with.
We have gone to great lengths to personally research our destinations
and to meet with our locally owned and operated suppliers. We have built strong relationships with these suppliers, whom we prefer to call colleagues. We believe that our continued success is dependent on these close relationships.
Our philosophy is to use small, locally owned suppliers. This means that your money stays within the country you visit and makes a real economic contribution. We also feel that the passion shown by such suppliers means that your experience will be enhanced. It is important that we engage with our suppliers on an equal basis. In most cases, trying to get the lowest possible price isn’t the best outcome for local communities, and is ultimately unsustainable.
As a travel company, we understand that it’s our responsibility to protect and sustain the environment we use and enjoy. Our commitment focuses on supporting sustainable tourism practices that minimize our environmental impact while promoting responsible travel experiences.

Emerson Siimer - local specialist based in Tartu
Hi, I’m Emerson! I’m originally from Tartu, Estonia, but I’ve also lived in Australia and New Zealand—places that really deepened my love for nature and travel.
I have a master’s in nature-based tourism and have spent years guiding hikes, running wild food workshops, and helping others connect with the outdoors in meaningful ways.
Northern Finland is one of my favorite places on Earth. I’ve had some incredible experiences there—snowboarding, husky sledding, hiking, and meeting reindeer.
I love creating trips that bring together adventure, nature, local food, and culture. Can’t wait to help you plan something truly special.
Lilla Walter - local specialist based in Rovaniemi
Hi, my name is Lilla and I’m originally from Budapest, Hungary, but after spending some time living in Portugal, I realized how much I value calm, nature, and a slower pace of life. That journey eventually brought me to Finland—and now I live in Rovaniemi, right in the heart of Lapland, which has truly become my home.
Travel has always been a big part of my life. I love helping people experience places in a meaningful way—mixing the must-see spots with local gems and moments that really connect you to the culture and nature.
I care deeply about the planet, and I believe travel should give back. That’s why I try to make sure every trip supports nature and the communities we visit.
Moonika Apart - the person behind MonMon Travel
Hi, I’m Moonika. I’m originally from Tallinn, Estonia, and that’s still my home base. But in the winter months, you’ll usually find me in Rovaniemi.
I’ve explored over 50 countries, always looking for places with wild nature, mountains, and a bit of quiet beauty.
The Nordic and Baltic regions are especially close to my heart. They may be small, but they’re full of charm, culture, and amazing natural landscapes. That connection even led me to earn a master’s degree in Nature-Based Tourism.
Travel isn’t just my job, it’s a huge part of who I am. And with every trip I plan or take, I try to keep sustainability in mind. I believe we can explore the world in a way that respects both nature and local communities.
