Hello, I'm Bill. I'm an arborist and love anything to do with trees. I'm fairly new to couchsurfing having only stayed with hosts in Japan and Viet Nam, but those experiences have left me hungry to get involved with the community and meet some weird people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like minded people, exchange stories and expose myself to different ways of living.

Interests

I climb trees for work and I mostly love what I do, so much so that you'll be hard pressed to stop me clambering up a tree if we're out on a hike.

I've been bouldering for a few years, I got quite good at one point but haven't been able to go as frequently as I'd like over the last few months.

I spend an inordinant amount of time solving variant sudokus and love a game of chess - even though I lose 90% of the games I play.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed a tall ship.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've amassed a pretty decent knowledge of tree things and love sharing what I've learnt. I try and take an interest in everything so teach me what you know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An interesting chat over a beer and probably a chess victory.
