I’m William: Traveler, surfer, motorcyclist, and writer behind Barefoot Surfer. I split my time between Japan and Southeast Asia, currently based in Da Nang, Vietnam. If you’re a brand, fellow creator, or business that aligns with what I cover here, here are the ways we might work together.
## Sponsored content & brand partnerships
I work with brands whose products I’d actually use. Travel gear, travel services, surf and snowboard equipment, motorbike accessories, accommodation, tour operators, eSIM and insurance providers, and remote-work tools. I write honestly. If I wouldn’t recommend it to a friend, I won’t recommend it here.
Reach out with what you have in mind and we’ll talk.
## Guest posts & collaborations
I’m selective about guest posts. I accept them only from:
– Established travel blogs with genuine audiences
– Writers whose work I can verify and whose voice fits the site
– Posts that are genuinely useful to my readers, not thinly disguised link bait
I do not accept:
– Generic guest posts from content agencies
– Link-building requests from sites unrelated to travel, surf, or Asia
– Posts that aren’t disclosed as sponsored when they are
If you have something specific in mind, get in touch.
## Marketing & web services
I also take on a limited number of clients for marketing strategy, SEO content production, and WordPress site builds: primarily for travel, hospitality, and lifestyle businesses. If you’ve seen what I’m building here and want similar growth for your business, let’s talk.
