SPEAKER WITH AN INSPIRING STORY
In 2016, Wiebe challenged himself to drive to the other side of the world without money and in an electric car to prove that sustainable mobility is the future.
To reach Sydney, Wiebe asked strangers to “plug him in” with energy. On this website, people could select their location and offer him a bed, a meal or a socket to charge his car. Based on these offers, the route was determined and Wiebe drove criss-cross over the world, even earning him the nickname of “The Forrest Gump of Automotive”
Of course, his adventure was not without its struggles and he had to overcome a number of challenges. But time and again Wiebe managed to get further, thanks to the help of friendly locals or his online followers.
Eventually, Wiebe reached his destination after 1,119 days, 33 countries and 95,000 kilometres. Wiebe takes you along on his journey. How does he cope with loneliness and introversion in a life that was completely extroverted? How does he cope with challenges that would drive you to despair? But above all, Wiebe’s journey is an example that by working together and making connections you can achieve extreme goals and Wiebe shows that the world is not such a bad place as we see on TV.
