What if you could travel around the world without spending a single cent of your own?
Attempting to do just that is 27-year-old content creator Ng Yi Hui, who set himself a challenge to get from Singapore to Peru without using any of his own money.
The Singaporean first started posting about this endeavour on March 27 on social media, and he has garnered support from netizens. Some have left positive comments such as “Let’s gooo bro! Love this adventure!”, and “This is so wholesome”.
His journey began on the streets of Singapore, where he cobbled together the dollars needed for the first leg of his journey to Taiwan.
He did so by asking strangers for spare bills, performing magic tricks in exchange for cash and by selling cookies.
@__yihui the legends of Singapore 🇸🇬🙏 hopefully we fly soon
In order to save his hard-earned money, he went around hawker centres asking for leftovers from strangers, who were surprisingly generous.
One uncle even asked him to join his table of seniors, fed him rojak, then bought him a drink before giving him some cash and wishing him the best of luck on his journey.
He also tried sleeping in a tent, and even spent the night in a stranger’s house.
Yi Hui reveals that he is undertaking this journey together with his best friend — fellow content creator Michael Collins.
Speaking to AsiaOne on Thursday (April 9), Yi Hui shared that the duo’s aim is to get to the opposite end of the world.
