Are you ready to be jet set to travel the world? Maybe you would love to, but don’t have the appropritate funds to do that.

Enter Michael Wigge.

You may have seen him in the news over the last few weeks. Check him out in Huffington Post, the Huffington Post and in The Daily Meal! Wigge is a well-known media personality in Germany—a journalist, award-winning documentarian, comedian and world traveler. Wigge traveled 25,000 miles from Europe to Antarctica–without any money–which he documented and turned into the upcoming travel series “How to Travel the World For Free” which starts airing on PBS this month (perhaps in your city?) and on local channels in over 70 markets across the US running through May and June.

His accompanying book by the same name (Pichu Productions, $11.95) contains his colorful tales and tips on dashing across the world by his coattails.

From hosting a street pillow fight in San Francisco (which paid for a flight to Costa Rica), to earning money as a “Human Sofa”, Wigge’s creativity and chutzpah seem limitless. One plan saw him become “The Hill Helper” in California: The extreme slopes of hilly San Francisco equaled weary tourists, so Wigge strapped on a sign proclaiming that he would push individuals up the hill, all for one dollar. Tired travelers leaned all their weight into his hands as he marched them up a hill. By the end of the day, he earned enough to buy groceries.

Says Wigge: “Everything is possible without money. I made my dream come true.”
