Inbound Director
I’m Mona, inbound director at Mimpi Nusantara Asia. My job is to turn ideas into real journeys on the ground — making sure every itinerary works smoothly, every partner is reliable, and every traveler feels taken care of from arrival to departure.
I work closely with our travel designers, guides and local suppliers to coordinate logistics, refine details and anticipate what you might need before you even ask. What I love most about Indonesia is the kindness of its people and the diversity of its islands, and I’m committed to showcasing this richness in a respectful way.
Behind the scenes, I’m the one aligning timing, quality and service so that your trip feels effortless, safe and truly memorable.
Founder
I’m Laurent, founder of Mimpi Nusantara Asia. I’ve been living in Asia for over 30 years and started traveling to Indonesia in 2000. Since then, I’ve witnessed how tourism has transformed the country, especially Bali — for better and for worse.
This is why committing to the Travelife certification journey became essential for me: to build a way of traveling that is truly responsible, away from mass tourism, and rooted in respect for local communities.
With our team and partners across the archipelago, I focus on crafting itineraries that slow down the pace, favour real encounters, and support local livelihoods while protecting Indonesia’s natural and cultural heritage. The goal is simple: authentic, well-designed journeys that make sense for you — and for the people who call Indonesia home.

I arrived in Indonesia in 2017 and never really left. I spent a few years running a hotel in Lombok, getting to know the local culture and exploring the islands in depth. Now based in Bali and part of Mimpi, I help travelers experience Indonesia the way it should be — authentic, warm, and unforgettable.
