How to Travel the World for FREE, by Michael Wigge
Tuesday, October 3rd
6 pm
How to Travel The World For FREE is Michael’s attempt to travel 25,000 miles from Europe to Antarctica, without any money. Throughout his journey, Wigge immerses himself in fascinating subcultures, sleeps on the street with homeless people, and nourishes himself with flowers. Michael left Berlin in June and traveled for 150 days through 11 countries, arriving in Antarctica in November. He planned the journey for a year before starting out, collecting contact information for those who might provide accommodations or odd jobs, but he also relied on the kindness of strangers. This unusual travel diary combines adventure with humorous situations and insightful interviews about people’s relationship with money.
$8 per person. Doors open at 5 pm. Show starts at 6 pm. Concessions available for purchase. The program is part of the Galesburg Rotary Club’s Travelogue series presented at the Costa Auditorium.
