I was born in South Africa 🇿🇦 but moved to New Zealand 🇳🇿 in 2015 and lived there for 10 years and am a proud Kiwi citizen. I recently moved to France to pursue my dream of being a full-time woodturner and artisan.

I am a very easy and happy guy who loves nature, the outdoors and good friendly company of people.

I love creating art in wood and work from home as a woodturner and artisan.

www.guydutoit.com is my website.

I enjoy exploring, adventuring, meeting new people, learning about the world and myself. I adore animals and they usually love me.

I believe in Energy and Nature.

Trying to minimise my impact on the environment.

I am a pescaterian but also learnt to be a flexitarian. I'm happy to share whatever food you feel is culturally appropriate in your home and you can feel free to eat what ever you choose in my home. I'm still learning to be plant based. Kind of a vegetarian pescatarian thing going at the moment.

I love sharing experiences, stories, cultures, food with fellow tarvellers. Much better than spending time in unpersonal hotels.

Couchsurfing has made me lifelong friends and taught me so much about the world. The pandemic put my hosting and travels on hold for a while and it is good to be able to travel again and meet new people.

I don't just want a place to sleep or for you to just want a place to sleep, I want to experience new people, cultures and life!

NB! I am not on here as an alternative to Tinder.

I'm not looking for a date or some other liason thanks. 😊

Couchsurfing is for sharing travel experiences and people's homes, cultures and environments in a safe and fun way.

Thanks,
Guy
