Snowboarding

A few years ago I learned how to snowboard. Since then, I make plans every winter to go to a ski resort. People at my age are usually afraid of trying something new like snowboarding. They usually tell me that it’s dangerous and it’s too difficult to learn when you’re not young anymore. I think this is bullshit! Learning how to snowboard has changed my life and I cannot even imagine my life without snowboarding every winter now!

It’s also a good opportunity for us to travel with friends. Early this year we spent my birthday’s week in Andorra with a couple of friends from Russia and had a really great time there. In the past two winters, Marília and I also went to Switzerland and France with some friends from Brazil and it was amazing.

Besides all the fun that I have with snowboarding, the whole trip is usually very enjoyable. The mountain views are incredible, the food is usually very good and the whole atmosphere is very energizing. Snowboarding is good not only for our bodies - because it’s a very demanding physical activity - but also for our minds, because we get to spend quality time with friends. Every time that we come back home after a ski trip we are usually very exhausted, but also very satisfied and wishing for more!
