Description
Updated December 2023. This is Shinn meeting everyone. Im still using a couple account as I traveled with my ex partner before. I have been using Workaway and Couchsurfing since I started traveling back then in 2012. I truly believe that, to meet people and to learn from them is the essence of traveling.
I work remotely as a language tutor. I conduct classes online. Most of my students are from Malaysia, now I’m expanding my student groups. I would be more than happy to help you with languages, I speak Mandarin, English, Malay and am learning Spanish.
I enjoy cooking and I love to see others cook. I published my second book not long ago. It is a fiction short stories collection. I like photography. I am handy when it comes to tidying and cleaning. I enjoy gardening. I trek. I explore and I seek.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone, this is Yuu and Shinn here. We are both Malaysian, coming from warm tropical Equatorial line. We both graduated from Zhejiang University in China and during four-year-period, we became addicted of cycling on bicycles. Yuu has been travelling on his bicycle for 3 years (24,000km has been made) and still counting. Shinn joined Yuu in September 2017, and so we updated our Workaway account as a couple account. We have gained different experience working with the locals. For examples, we spent three months helping at a bust guesthouse in Albania, two months helping a local family with house chores in Greece and three months volunteering at a permaculture farm in Bosnia. We enjoy farm works and always prefer rural lifestyle.
We has published our first book about travel this March 2018 in Malaysia. Believe us, we would like to show your the book, however it is in Chinese version and we as the authors even haven't touched our book yet.
We are easygoing, open minded. hardworking and responsible individuals who love to travel and to meet people, to observe, to learn everything. Appreciating and enjoying every moment in the life, even though sometimes it doesn't go with the way we expected.

I’ve been working as soft advertisement writer for tourism company since 2015. I’m currently working for Japan tourism. I could help to promote guesthouse/hotel/shop on social medias.
My primary job is an online tutor. I work remotely. Would love to share my profession with you.
Thanks to Workaway experience, since 2012 I’ve been helping families to work in their garden. I enjoy a lot even though I’m an amateur. I helped housekeeping in hotels and BnB too.
