Listen "Wiebe Wakker on Sustainable Adventures"
Episode Synopsis
How can we travel adventurously while still being sustainable? I’m a huge fan of exploring, but I’m also very conscious of my environmental footprint. On this episode, I’m speaking to Sustainable Adventurer Wiebe Wakker. He’s a Dutchman who likes exploring the world in an environmentally friendly ways.Wiebe came to my attention earlier this year when we went from Amsterdam to Dubai by train for an environmental conference. That wasn’t his first adventure. He’d previously spent 3.5 years travelling from The Netherlands to New Zealand by electric car. That journey means that Wiebe holds the current world record for completing the longest ever electric car trip in the world covering a distance of about 95,000 kilometres.In our discussion, we explore what inspires Wiebe to undertake his adventures, what he’s learned from doing it and I explain how he’s influenced me.To find out more about Wiebe, visit his website: https://plugmeinproject.com/You’ll find him on social media:Twitter - https://twitter.com/wiebewkkr?lang=enInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/plugmeintravel/?hl=enLinkedIn - https://nl.linkedin.com/in/wiebewakkerDuring our discussion, we talk about:Seat61.com - an amazing website for planning train adventures
