1. Get your bike and equipment ready! Our checklist makes it easy for you to pack. In case you need anything, we're here to help!

2. You can either start cycling directly at the station or take the train to go to another station. In case you want to first travel by train, you buy your tickets directly at the station. We learned from other travellers that it gives you more flexibility.

As soon as you confirm your trip, you will get a handy checklist so that you can start preparing your equipment. You receive your secret trip in your inbox 3 days before you leave, exciting!

Your trip starts and ends at your nearest train station in Belgium. We’re starting out with 1.000 multi-day trips in Belgium and plan to grow with you and go abroad as soon as possible.

You’ll be riding with your own bicycle. Don't worry if you don’t have a bicycle, we will give you our best tips and tricks to find one. Either way, do a technical check of your bicycle at least two weeks before your trip to make sure you’re good to go. If you have any doubts, it’s best to pay a visit to your local bicycle shop beforehand!

You will carry your own equipment. To make it easy for you, we will send you a detailed checklist of everything you need to take with you. Don’t worry if you don’t have all the equipment yet, it’s absolutely normal when you start to slow travel! We will also give you our best tips & tricks on where to find or rent it.

With our fantastic ambassadors of Welcome To My Garden, a network of citizens offering free camping spots to slow travellers, we arrange a basic and safe spot for the night for you. It can't get more local and authentic than this!

Our community-based approach promotes participation, involvement and trust. Very practically, you’re expected to respect nature (Leave No Trace principle) and respect your host and their neighbours by keeping the noise down. You can find all the rules here. Don’t forget to thank your host for their hospitality!

Welcome To My Garden ambassadors put their garden at disposal for you to spend the night. Facilities may vary from one garden to another. Some ambassadors might offer access to showers, others not. You’ll always have access to inside or outside toilets. Either way, we’ll tell you in advance what to expect.

During your trip, you can always reach us via WhatsApp to ask a question or share your excitement! We love receiving photos of slow travellers being happy on the road so make them come our way!
