Wiebe Wakker set out on a mission to drive a car from Amsterdam to Sydney, but it was not just any car - the vehicle was electric, powered only by the electricity provided by homes he stayed in along the way. 

Stopping in Wagga for one night only, the 32-year-old said the idea struck him through his studies and passion for travel. 

"I wanted to go on an adventure and travel, but I wanted to have a goal this time instead of going with my backpack from hostel to hostel," he said. 

"I was studying event management at the University of Art and in my final year I got to graduate into the Entrepreneurs' Lab and do my thesis on something about starting your own company or project in my case.

"So I combined things I learned there - story-telling, concept development, and marketing - with my own interests - photography, videography, and the environment - and heard people talking about electric cars."

Mr Wakker said he wanted to prove that electric powered vehicles had more strength than people thought.

"Not only do they look good and are fast, they're also good for the environment, but a lot of people don't want to buy their own because they think they're not reliable or don't cover long distances and that sort of thing, so I wanted to show that they're wrong," he said.

Planning the journey took about a year and a half according to Mr Wakker, and he said his family took the news of his journey well. 

"I would go to my family and say I've been thinking about a crazy idea to travel for a long time and every time I'd bring up another crazy idea they wouldn't like it but when I came with this idea they were relieved and thought it was a great," he said.

"They've been very supportive the entire way, my mother came to visit me once when I was in Turkey."

Crossing through countless countries, Mr Wakker said a few stood out to him.

"Iran was a beautiful country and I was amazed by the way I was accepted there, they were super hospitable, super friendly people," he said.

"Indonesia was also really great, driving through all these tropical islands, and then of course Australia, the Kimberlys were beautiful."

It may be surprising to hear that Mr Wakker's three year journey was relatively smooth, with only a few hiccups along the way.

"I had a few issues, in India one of the chargers exploded, and then other issues like broken springs or flat tires," he said.

"Indonesia was the worst when I ended up driving through a flooded road and water came in to the battery pack so that was not good - I had to fly mechanics from Holland to Indonesia to repair the car."

The intrepid traveller relied on the generosity of strangers opening their doors for him to stay during his trip.

"The whole idea of the trip is being powered by people so people sign up to my website and mostly I have no idea who they are - I see their names but don't know anything about them," he said.

"In the beginning I was a bit nervous, but I soon found out people who offered for me to stay were usually open-minded and open to ideas like mine so I never had any issues with that part really."

When his journey comes to a close in two weeks, Mr Wakker said he will be finding other means of travel to return to Holland. 

"I will be flying back home, I have driven enough," he said.

"The plan then is to sleep a little bit, and I still want to do something in the field of electric mobility, and also write a book about my trip."
