romi Gondova
Gypsy queen of our Hokkaido Vibe team.
I was born in Czech Republic, raised in a family of cross-country skiers and nature lovers. My love of nature has guided me my whole life. I love being a ski instructor and thrive being out there in the mountains every day. I love it every single day. Skiing is my life passion and I enjoy sharing it with others.
Thanks to skiing, I have gotten to live in various countries throughout Europe and in New Zealand. I also spent a season ski bumming in South America. Finally, my love for sliding on a white fluffy happiness brought me to the snowiest place in the world- to Japan. I feel grateful to call Japan my second home.
In the summer you can spot me either surfing by the ocean, hiking in the mountains or foraging wild plants and mushrooms. When I am at home (sometimes home can be a van or even a little k-van) I enjoy practicing yoga, listening to music, cooking some yummy food or just chilling with a cup of tea.
If life brings you to Japan, you are searching for a professional ski instructor… and there’s something from my lifestyle that resonates with you, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I am happy to share my passion, improve your skiing, guide you through some crazy deep pow, hit the road and go for a multiple day road trip or just cruise around, share my knowledge of great local restaurants and dip into an onsen after. Let’s have fun. I wanna see a big smile on your face!
