About us

Hello! We’re Dries and Manon, and we’re embarking on an exciting adventure: travelling by bicycle through Morocco for three months with our one-year-old baby, Isak!

The idea was born during our bike trip from Brussels to Tokyo in 2019, when we met an incredible Iranian family who had travelled by bicycle with their baby. We immediately knew: if we were going to have a baby, we wanted to do the same.

Our little son Isak just turned one, and we’re ready to go! We can’t wait to explore Morocco, and who knows - maybe even see Isak take his first steps there!



If you have any recommendations for Morocco or want to get in touch, don’t hesitate to send us an email at manon@welcometomygarden.org. Thank you!

Our projects
Our previous big bike tour and the projects we set up after:

  • In 2019, we travelled by bicycle from Brussels to Tokyo: Road to the Rising Sun.
  • Manon took a camera with her and made a film about the women cyclists she met: Women Don't Cycle.
  • That journey inspired us to start Welcome To My Garden, a network of citizens offering free camping spots in their gardens to slow travellers.
  • Every year, we also organize a 3-day bike touring festival: Velotour Festival.

Enjoy exploring them!
