On March 20, Visit California sent Jochen Schliemann — one of the hosts of Reisen Reisen - Der Podcast — on a 10-day California electric vehicle road trip. From this excursion, Jochen will create plenty of media content, including two podcast episodes full of California road trip and electric vehicle travel content for the largest travel podcast in the German-speaking world.

Averaging 60,000 listeners per episode, Reisen Reisen is a great way for California to connect with international travelers.

The first episode, "Roadtrip California - with an electric vehicle" has just been published. It highlights the first leg of Jochen’s trip, which started in Santa Cruz and made its way up to San Francisco.

The show notes provided by Reisen Reisen vividly detail the experience of discovering the natural and cultural richness of California. They bolster the Golden State as the best place to encounter spectacular beaches, mountain vistas resembling masterpiece paintings, and an abundance of local food along Highway 1 – which they call the world’s most scenic coastal route. From surfing in Santa Cruz to line dancing with cowboys, their journey through iconic landscapes and small towns epitomized the adventurous and sustainable spirit of California.

In the 1 hour 24 minute episode, Jochen shared these highlights of his California road trip in an enthusiastic and vivid style that made listeners feel like they were along for the ride, emphasizing the wonders he encountered and conveying a contagious passion for California that leaves listeners inspired to embark on their own adventure.

In the yet-to-come second episode, Jochen is set to showcase the second leg of his trip that will focus on the wondrous outdoor experiences that the one-and-only California road trip has to offer to travelers across the globe. 

Jochen kept Reisen Reisen’s followers up to speed on the electric vehicle trip in real time as he documented the whole experience on their other social media platforms.

Not only will these episodes reach the loyal followers of Reisen Reisen, they will also be featured in the inflight entertainment systems on all long-haul Lufthansa flights. Jochen also created a blog post in summary of his trip and some images, as well as a Reisen Reisen newsletter from the trip.
