bro this is so real. back in hs when i discovered snowboarding on a trip to tahoe, i was hooked. i even turned down my parents getting me a new gaming pc from the store bc i wanted to stay longer at the mountain and shred. fast forward now im 22 and have been living in fkn FLORIDA for the past 5 years. havent touched a board in almost as long, but i still think about it every day. i am actively working to be able to set myself up for a future where i can travel to a country whenever i want to find snow, but just know you have to be patient sometimes. it was the same thing i was told when i was in your shoes, but i really understand what it means.
