Plug Me In

With zero money, a plug and the help of strangers to the other side of the world

Omslag van het boek 'Plug Me In' van Wiebe Wakker.

About Plug Me In

Finally my book (in Dutch) is here!

Plug Me In tells the story of my three-year journey without money, in an electric car, with Sydney as my final destination.

In total, I drove 95,000 kilometres through 33 countries, completely dependent on the help of people who offered me electricity, food and shelter through my website. This resulted in bizarre adventures: from dumpster diving in Finland to an exploding charger in India and even an unexpected lesson in dating in Tehran.

On the 2nd of October 2025 my book will be released in Dutch. At this time a publication date for the English version is not known yet.
