I am Marcin, in English pronounced pretty much like "marching" just without the "g" at the end.
Born in Poland, lived most my life so far in Germany, visited a few countries and now trying to settle for a while in the actual sunshine coast of Western Australia.
I am a huge sport and exercise maniac, which is why my occupations focus around it too. And I have no real particular preference, I like every type of physical activity. My experiences though are: almost 20 years of tennis, 7 years of competetive swimming, 6 years of judo, 3 years of European handball and since I can remember I was skiing with an addition of snowboarding around 12 years ago. Up to date you can add pretty much every beach and water based sport e.g. kiteboarding, surfing, as well as triathlon, cycling and
Other than that, I am a keen movie watcher, dancer, good beer drinker ( and this is absolutely not related to any of my time in Germany) and just like to have a relaxed and good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I usually have to travel to random cities to visit conferences and coaching seminars, because as it happens someone decided to build Perth as a city in one of the most remote, but also most sunny and beautiful, places around.

But, mainly, I experience the best times ever, which includes a group of best friends from highschool, around a multicultural group of people. I just enjoy the company of people from different places around the world a lot, love to exchange experiences, views, opinions and have a fun time together. It was always ridicously good times to be around people like this.

Therefore, I really like the idea of sharing and environmental friendly concept if accommodation and shared experiences!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many different kinds of pancake recipes! I just love them! And there is the golden rule of golden pancakes: When anyone makes pancakes, everybody in direct proximity to the process or anyone consuming them just HAS to have a good time! Other than that, I know some Polish dishes, although they are a little rusty.

If you need any health or fitness tips, I might be able to help you out. But only as long as you do not expect me to be an actual medical doctor. Like you know, the guys with the pills and prescription and yucky diagnostic methods.

And of course, sharing travel stories and experiences!
