ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Yen (Billy)! Originally from Malaysia, I quit my job in 2016 to travel the world and haven't stopped since. I'm easygoing and open-minded, always excited to experience local cultures, especially through food—I'll try anything! I'm into juggling, flow arts, and judo, which keep me active. I've been hosting people on Couchsurfing for many years and now live in a bus in New Zealand. Looking forward to meeting new people and sharing stories!
