Editor 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.
Summary
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!

Good story and Stephen is good but from the voice it sounded a bit worn out.

Interesting but slightly uncomfortable
As a travel enthusiast i was intrigued by the premise and stories of this book.. and i did enjoy the observations and the kindness of people all throughout the trip.. however i felt slightly uncomfortable by how much the author took (begged) from people with not much money.. I can’t describe it but it just didnt feel right.

Utterly delightful
Michael Wiig's challenge is to travel from Berlin to Antarctica with no cent on his pocket.. he makes his way using his wits and charisma turning his hand from ventriloquism to organising pillow fights. as is the adage, this is all about the journey not the destination. so.many funny moments including the bus ride in Chile to the puppet show featuring the cookie monster's twin brother. absolute genius. I loved this !!!

Very interesting and inspiring
Super interesting account of a real adventure, very inspiring. The only negative comment I can give is that the title may be misleading as this is not a guide, but simply a travel story

Rich European uses western white privilege to travel for free
Turns out how to travel for free is be a reporter and take advantage of poor Latin Americans.
I hope he paid them back but there’s no word of it
