The summer of slow travel!
Slow Travel Pass (formerly Slowby)
Get access to the best 25+ multi-day cycling and hiking trips in Belgium. ????????
Hello slow travel enthusiast!
Summer is in full swing and so are we! So far, we’ve organised a whopping 55 slow travel trips for 135 people.?Together they have travelled for 160 days, exploring every corner of Belgium: 100% by bike and by train!?
There is much more beyond the numbers: because beautiful experiences can’t be measured. Having a picnic under the apple trees, sleeping in a tent for the first time, learning to read a map, letting your child lead the way, receiving a coffee from your host in the morning… Slow down, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Read more about our secret slow travel trips below!
But who are we?
It’s time to introduce ourselves properly! Put simply, Slowby is a spin-off of Welcome To My Garden. Dries and Manon are Slowby’s parents. After having set up Welcome To My Garden in 2020, during the pandemic, they discovered many people wanted to try out slow travel. More than they could ever have imagined in fact! So they set up Slowby.
Dries and Manon are very experienced slow travellers themselves: in 2019, they cycled all the way from Brussels to Tokyo! Manon even made a documentary about it which made it into the cinemas of Brussels: Women Don’t Cycle.
And what do we do?
Slowby organises Secret Slow Travel Trips for people who’d love to go on a slow travel adventure but don’t know how to get started, or don’t have the time to organise their own trip. So we put the trip together for you! We create an itinerary based on your wishes; Welcome To My Garden ambassadors en route host you for the night. All you have to do is fill out the registration form, pack your bag, hop on your bike and discover what we’ve got in store for you!

Slow travel stories
So what’s it like to go on a Secret Slow Travel Trip? We asked some of our travellers.?
“It feels like going on a treasure hunt! My little escape really did me a world of good, and this formula suits me perfectly! Getting away from everyday life and being all by myself, yet also getting to meet people. It’s such a great concept. I will be back for sure!”?—?Muriel
