Have you ever seen a place in a magazine, movie or on your Instagram feed and thought “I have to go there”? Monument Valley was one of those places for me (thanks Forrest Gump). I saw so many photos of long boarders gliding down this very road and I knew I had to see this place in person and of course grab my longboard and ride down this infamous highway. It was surreal, being here, knocking off bucket list items. One thing I’ve learned this year is this; don’t let a job you hate or having no money or your excuses get in the way of doing things you dream of doing. Don’t keep telling yourself that one day you’ll go, because chances are you may never get to again. My life isn’t glamorous..I don’t have a steady job/income right now, I’m excited when I have more than $300 in my bank account (which is rare) and I’m living at home right now...but I wouldn’t trade this life for anything else because the thing is, I’m living my dreams, traveling the world and working my ass off to turn my passion into my career. It’s not always easy but I know it’ll be worth it. And if nothing else, I just hope that my adventures help others find theirs
