Welcome To My Garden is on a mission to make slow travel more accessible for everyone. Like any garden, WTMG needs nurturing in order to grow and stay healthy.

Staying at a WTMG host is free. Yet, to maintain and develop WTMG, we rely on a yearly membership to split costs fairly among all slow travellers. Join us today!
