Young Arborist

[Medbooth]

I’m a 22 year old climber with roughly 1 and a bit years climbing experience. I really love this job but I’m getting super bored of my home town and want to spread my wings and really challenge myself. If anyone has any tips or work please reply on here or email me. [email protected]

 

I’m Keen as mustard!!!

I would head to Oz mate.

[Mike Hill]

Or Scandinavia

[Bocca]

Or New Zealand 🇳🇿 

[Will C]

Or Canada.
 

In fact do 6 months in each, I bet by the time you get round you won’t be back here but with some Swedish blonde on a beech in oz  or something along these lines 🤣

If I'd come to tree work earlier and wanted to do the full adventure, I'd have picked the common destinations (Australia, New Zealand, Norway/Sweden, USA, Canada), some less common ones (wherever you fancy visiting or put up a map and throw darts at it until something seems cool) and tried to plan in three or six month blocks. Aim to hit the correct place in the correct season for business demand and what climates you can cope with. I would want to keep it to the short stints so if you end up in a shit firm or shit accommodation and hate your workmates and/or housemates, you'll only have to suffer it for a short time. If everything is going well and/or you knock up a local, you can always change plan.

Thank you mate, really appreciate your advice

There’s never been a better time for a young man to travel the world as a tree worker, but don’t hang about!

Who knows what’s round the corner?

I had a customer once, middle aged British guy working in a factory in Germany. Apparently age 23 he'd set off with a mate in a Landrover to drive to Africa, met some girls in Germany, that was it stopped there.

Presumably the gearbox, axles and engine went.
