CURRENT MISSION

To work from anywhere of the world, 8 hours a week.

ABOUT ME

They would say I'm an interesting man and like to play badminton.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like this website so much that I check it often. I will show guests around town, talk about difference cultures and I can tell a lot of my own, if you want to hear :).

Sometimes I travel together with travelers outside the KL city. Yes, Since I had an accident 5+ years ago, I cannot drive now. My foot base cannot move, :(.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many people(especially Europeans and Africans) say it is difficult to pronounce my name Yi-Wei. All this while I thought my name is way too short and simple to call. I was wrong ??

Without any training, I ran across Penang Bridge(13.5km) without a single stop. And I made it back to the starting point within the time limit to receive a certificate. This might look normal to others but it certainly was a confidence-boosting experience for me.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Belgium, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Vatican City State

Countries I’ve Lived In

Malaysia
