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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, I’m in a happy and stable relationship built on trust and respect. I’m open to hosting female guests, but I value clear boundaries and a friendly, respectful dynamic. I also make sure my girlfriend is aware in advance.

If timing works, I’m sometimes happy to introduce guests to my girlfriend and hang out together — she’s an incredible skier based in Hokkaido, and we often spend time outdoors.

We also go out to the sea on our small boat in Otaru, and if everything aligns, you are also welcome to join.
