I Traveled To All 7 Continents With No Money

Reuben Schmitz and his friend Pim attempt the ultimate budget travel challenge—visiting all seven continents with no money. Relying on creativity, resourcefulness, and the kindness of strangers, they hitchhike, barter, and hustle their way around the world in this thrilling adventure series.

Reuben Schmitz and Pim continue their daring journey to visit all seven continents without money. In this episode, they venture across the Middle East, relying on their hard-earned "waffle budget" to fund their travels. Starting in Cairo, they navigate the city's bustling streets by hitchhiking on some of the most unique vehicles they can find. As they move deeper into the region, they indulge in the best experiences their budget can afford—only to discover that adventure at this scale comes with real risks. For the first time in the Free World Trip series, they encounter true adversaries who threaten to derail their mission. Will they find a way to keep the dream alive?

With just €450 left from their waffle budget, Reuben Schmitz and Pim face their toughest challenge yet—hitchhiking 2,500 km across Saudi Arabia to reach Dubai. In a country that's 95% desert, where few people speak English, and where their own government warns against such a journey, the odds are stacked against them. Relying on nothing but the kindness of strangers and their resourcefulness, they push forward through endless sand, scorching heat, and unexpected obstacles. Can they make it to Dubai before their budget runs dry?
