As far as skate scene/bars
The northwest has it super going on during the summertime, rad hills, cool shops, decent weather, food is sick, women are cute too, park’s a plenty. Only thing is weed, oh wait it’s legalized there too!
From San Diego & Portland to Vancouver gets my vote for best places along with Colorado and the southwest for ditches parks and rad places to just go outside,
I have found this one thing to be true in any country regardless of language barrier, you go to a skate shop you’ll be be shown the spots and places to go.
