After Daniel Tyler dropped out of school and fell in with the wrong crowd, he decided to go backpacking to escape it all. The Englishman ended up on a tiny Malaysian island and was living a relaxed life until he was secretly filmed speaking fluently in the local dialect. The video went viral and as a result Daniel would end up finding a new name, a new religion and a new course in life.
