About Me

Hey there! I’m Emir — a cadet pilot who’s just getting started on his aviation journey and enjoying every bit of the learning process.
Flying has always inspired me, but I’m equally curious about the world and the people I meet along the way.

Outside the cockpit, you’ll usually find me at a rock or heavy metal concerts, camping somewhere quiet, or planning my next spontaneous trip. I’ve also played underwater hockey for years — it taught me patience, focus and

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to meet people who enjoy good energy, open conversations, and a bit of humor. For me, Couchsurfing isn’t about a free stay — it’s about connecting with interesting souls around the world, sharing music, culture, and maybe a few unforgettable laughs.

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste usually swings between rock and rap. I listen to a lot of Metallica, Epica, Skillet, Eminem, and Logic — it really depends on the mood. My all-time favorite song is the live concert version of Stairway to Heaven, and when I’m working out, nothing beats Eminem and 50 Cent for motivation.

When it comes to movies, I go for the ones that feel genuine rather than overhyped. I’ve got a pretty good sense of what’s truly worth watching — let’s just say Birdman and The Big Lebowski didn’t quite make my list.

As for books, I’m drawn to fantasy and psychological storytelling. I read whatever catches my eye or comes highly recommended by people I meet, and when I can’t find anything new, I always return to the classics. My favorite author is Stephen King — I love how he turns even the smallest feeling into a story you can truly experience.
And I’ve always had a soft spot for comic books — The Sandman is my all-time favorite series.
