I think she wanted to say that she will be going south and she considers it a big chance.But he instead went on saying "it's a fair shake that I want to go to jonoob[=the south]".when I told her she was incorrect, she told me that she was trying to say it's a big chance that she wants to go to jonoob[=the south

Hi,

I don't understand what you mean here by ' a big chance'. Do you mean 'a good opportunity'.?

Hi,

Sorry, but I really do not understand the intended meanings here.
It doesn't help that terms like he / she / I are all being used.

I think he means this: Is there any chance that you can say "Someone wants to go somewhere"?

Well, my answer is yes, there is! You can say "He wants to go to school." or "She wants to have a little freedom."
