Hi, I am Kento. I grew up in Japan and spent most of my life there. In 2020, I moved to Germany to study Data Science, and I am still here doing a PhD in psychometrics (statistics applied to psychology). Since my childhood, one of my main passions has been baseball (both playing and watching). Besides, I like deep conversation (possibly with a cup of nice coffee).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on CS in order to get to know people, as research work can be often lonely and isolating. Great thing about the CS platform is that I can access to local events near my house and where I travel. Last year I took advantage of both and got to know some great people.
