OK, just to get things straight: I've started this profile for myself, but since I coupled with my girlfriend we rarely go apart.

So,
I'm Marek, I grew up in the city of Gdansk, Poland, a place I would advise anyone to visit. Mariana is Portuguese, from Podence, a village that's about to gain UNESCO patrimony!!! We come from quite apart and there is some differences between us but altogether we make a good couple.

We have traveled good amount together and hosted few people in our place. And couchsurfing is a rather good idea, but as it is with ideas, it needs work to make it happen.

If you want to send us a request I'd advise you read this profile before. We're usually rather busy and often it's been a problem to host.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We often look for hosts or locals while traveling, but also willing to host people visiting the astonishing city of Southampton, UK ;)

Interests

Food!!! We can cook few nice things using some simple ingredients.

Travelling of course, why else bother?

Personally I do enjoy good music any time of the day... or night.

Books, although we feel we've been rather behind in the subject recently... :\

Music, Movies, and Books

music: I could go on forever - the doors, massive attack, jaga jazzist, manu chao, mars volta, queens of the stone age, miles davis, james brown, and so and so and so... even fado!

movies: too many to list
