Hi there, my name is Bret, I am based in Zlin, Czech Republic. I am a music tech student, currently on erasmus in Ireland. I love music, culture and arts! I play the piano and cello, I love all music from early music to contemporary. I also love gardening, yoga and cooking vegan meals. I do not mind helping with housework and stuff like that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and exploring new places.
