Our passion for travel is from where this business was born. Our own travel experiences are the base and we build on that base with education. Through many classes, meetings, webinars, conventions and trade shows. We spend many weeks each year traveling on ships, visiting new countries, inspecting hotels and resorts. We believe experience is the best teacher and actually 'being there' is what propels us above the competition. We wrap it all together with personalized customer service for a truly seamless experience.
Jolly Mon Vacations is owned and operated by Pete Larson of Grand Forks, ND. With my wife Cindy, family members and friends we have traveled together and experienced many of our travel dreams. Our own travel experiences directly benefit our clients and we continue to add to this growing foundation each year.
