Hi, my name is Wenbo.
I’m originally from China and have been living in Japan for the past 7 years.

My life revolves around outdoor sports, cultural exploration, and languages. I’m into surfing, backcountry skiing, and freediving.

I'm also a backcountry ski guide and avalanche rescue coach. Recently, together with a Japanese guide(my mentor), I’ve been putting a lot of energy into building a Hokkaido-based guiding community, which has become an important part of my life.

Outside of the mountains, I volunteer in local forestry and marine conservation projects, which helps me stay connected to both nature and the local Japanese community.

I also play classical guitar — still learning, but I enjoy playing pieces like Lágrimas or Bella Ciao for myself or friends.

I speak native Mandarin, fluent Japanese, English, and I’m currently learning Spanish :P

I’d describe myself as open-minded, respectful, and curious. I enjoy listening to people’s stories, sharing simple meals, or just walking around a neighborhood and seeing where it leads.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing for me is not just about a place to sleep, but about meaningful cultural exchange and building friendships around the world.
