Who's Marc Babbitt?
Personal Information
I am from Manchester in the U.K, I have been living in Poland since 1996. I came here for a holiday for 2 months and liked it so much that after finishing my studies the following year I decided to come back. I met a girl, got married and had a child. Thrown in the deep end I had to learn Polish quickly (well it took me 3 years) and get a job. Teaching English seemed like a good career. I love Poland its people and culture and look forward to living here for many years to come.
