Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to offer space to stay and to sleep either on my couch or in my room and also to surf couches all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spontaneously hosted two Danish girls (who I met in Bolivia on a trip with friends) when they came to Santiago. Meanwhile I hosted a variety of amazing people and I am happy to continue this experience!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen the Stromboli volcano erupting while I was in a boat on the sea.

Teach, Learn, Share

From my lessons in game theory and behavioral economics: don't bid a second time on ebay, once you have been overbid. Give a single bid with your maximum willingness to pay and don't get fooled by the endowment effect that makes you pay more, once you think you already possesed something for that you have temporarily placed the highest bid :-)
What I would really like to learn is speaking Arabic. I already have some basic knowledge and certain words but no practical experience!
