Wiebe Wakker as a speaker
For three years, I drove from the Netherlands to Australia in an electric car without any money, relying entirely on the help of strangers. That experience gave me a deep trust in people and showed me what is possible when genuine connections are made.
Today, I translate that experience into inspiring lectures for organisations. No theory, just real stories.
My lectures help organisations strengthen trust, improve collaboration and get people moving again.
Themes
I speak to inspire and take it further, connecting real-world experiences to themes that matter.

Wiebe Wakker as an Adventurer
In 2016, I set off for Australia in a borrowed electric car with no money. What started as a crazy idea turned into a 95,000 km journey through 33 countries, completely dependent on the help of strangers.
Since then, I have continued to explore the world without flying. By train, bus, ship and always in the most unconventional ways. Not because it’s easier, but because it shows what becomes possible when you dare to choose a different path.
Everywhere I went, people helped me along the way. Those experiences gave me a deep trust in people and form the basis of everything I share today.

About Wiebe Wakker
My first journey began without a plan. I simply wanted to see what would happen if I did things differently.
That choice took me further than I ever expected. Not just geographically, but especially because of the people I met along the way. Their support, trust, and openness changed my perspective on the world.
After that trip, I kept going. Without flying. By train, bus, and sometimes by ways you can’t plan. Not to get somewhere as quickly as possible, but to truly experience what happens along the way.
I’m now bringing what I learned along the way to the stage. Not theory, but real experiences. Stories that show what becomes possible when you take a step, even if you don’t yet know where you’ll end up.
