The unbelievable feat of traveling 25,000 miles - from Berlin to Antarctica - without any money! Join Michael Wigge as he immerses himself into fascinating subcultures, rides with Amish farmers in old-fashioned buggies, sleeps on the street with the homeless, and, with the help from alternative lifestylers, learns to nourish himself with flowers. Wigge had only three concerns during his travels: How do I get some food? How will I get to my next destination? Where can I sleep? …all without money! This unusual travel diary combines adventure with humor and contains surprising revelations about when money is really needed - and when it's not. A must-listen for every travel and adventure fan!

Editorial reviews

It is apparently possible for a person to travel from Berlin to Antarctica without any money at all. Just ask Michael Wigge, author of How to Travel the World for Free: One Man, 150 days, 11 countries, No Money! Simultaneously droll and exuberant, Stephen Bel Davies keeps the listener curious and bemused as they listen to the true story of Wigge’s adventure. From street performance to dumpster diving, from container ships to couch surfing, this pleasantly self-aware fool’s journey is fresh enough to keep the listener wondering what’s around the next bend.

I enjoyed the entire story but I kind of wish there was a bit more detail on what he used as well as a few more travel tips. Also it's a bit short. Aside from that the book and story are fantastic and have reinvigorated my hopes and plans for travel. I would highly recommend this to anyone whom dreams of traveling the world

Great Book

Any additional comments?

I found the cultural references and descriptions in this book interesting. What turned me off was the author's "Uber" Western attitude. Why would you agree to take a multicultural trip around the world, and then critique and complain about all the cultures you visit?! Deal, Dude! It's free! The bus-driver in Chile wouldn't keep driving that way if it weren't somewhat successful?! The author should have relaxed into his experiences a little more and focused on the learning aspect. He also took an overly professorial tone when he described Black jack, and Niagara Falls, in detail--like the educated people who read these types of books need those things VERY carefully described. I read Mr. Wigge's next book in the series , about bartering (actually before this one), and it is better.

A Bit Disappointing

What an excellent book. Keeps you entertained all through and also well informed about all the places visited during his journey!
I wish it was as simple to travel around as the author made it sound in the book.

P.S.: Technically not a completely free travel :)

Unexpected-ly great!

Kudos to Michael Wigge for accomplishing an amazing feet with no money. Tho his ways might not always be conventional, he pulled it off between creativity, hard work, relying on human kindness and even dumpster diving. So glad he made it.

Astounding tho unconventional...

It is a very interesting story. I thought this would be more of a how to travel cheaply but it is his story of literally traveling with no money. Like I said only I white man would be able to get away with this and have an enjoyable experience. There is too much hate, prejudice and violence for a person of color or a woman to complete this journey. I will say travel, have fun but above all stay safe. I would not take his advice and try it yourself because it could be very dangerous for anyone else. But it is a good story about one man’s adventure.

Only a white man could get away with this

it would be a much more accurate description. I read this as a story of tenacity. I enjoy hearing how other people mentaly approach and digest obstacles. Listening to how people overcome said obstacles, or backup and redirect, adds tools to my emotional arsenal.

If the title had "social experiment" in it...
