WTMG website

There are quite a few other platforms out there that cater to the needs of (slow) travellers. Whereas Warmshowers is for cyclists only, WTMG is for both hikers and cyclists. Also, WTMG is all about tents, not beds. You could consider it the outdoor version of Couchsurfing. There is a commercial initiative called Campspace in the Netherlands which does more or less the same thing as WTMG, but you have to pay for your camping spot. WTMG is a free initiative, and you don’t need to pay your host for your stay.

What type of tent can I bring?

Since WTMG is only catering to hikers and cyclists, we expect you to bring nothing bigger than a trekker’s tent. That means it should easily fit in your pack. If you’re not sure your tent will fit in your host’s garden, please consult them before leaving.

I’ve had an issue with a guest or a host. How do I report it?

Any issue or misconduct should be reported to Welcome To My Garden by email (welcometomygardennetwork-at-gmail.com). In case of misconduct we reserve the right to remove unilaterally this person’s account (see Terms of Use).
