Outdoor Hobbies for Men
The best way to kill time is to do something you love, which gives you immense joy when being a part of that activity. Find out here which hobby speaks more for you in the compiled list of outdoor hobbies for men...
✧ Stargazing |
Invest in a good telescope and choose a grassy or sandy spot in a secluded location, where you can set up your equipment. Hilltops, where the glare from city lights won't interrupt your stargazing time, are the perfect venue. Follow up on news released by NASA's website on visible planet alignments, comet appearances, meteor showers, and the like. It can be quite spellbinding to bear witness to such cosmic phenomena. |
£ Rare/Foreign Currency Collection |
Ever been to a place that always got you hopping on a plane, to visit again? Ever wish to go back to a country, you think you may never step foot in again? Ever dreamed of visiting a foreign country? That's where this hobby comes in - it can serve as a great way of keeping intact the memory of a place, by collecting various coins or notes. You can also look for stores online and otherwise that sell these. How about getting yourself a metal detector and looking about for stray coins that foreign folk may have accidentally dropped? I remember my sister visiting a place on a business trip and stumbling upon a Russian coin in her living quarters - it can be quite intriguing to have in your possession a collection of authentic foreign currency notes/coins. |
✈ Festival/Event Globe Trotting |
If you're the adventurous sort who loves to travel or gets a chance to hop, skip and jump frequently from one state/country to another - then this hobby should be plenty of fun. Get yourself a high-resolution digital or SLR camera, to capture your moments amidst a festival/event buzz. Trace festivals and carnivals worldwide right from Mardi Gras and Octoberfest, to tattoo festivals where tattooists come together from around the world, to demonstrate their talent. Keep an online blog of your encounters and share it with people on the internet. Make friends with like-minded people and plan trips together over the holidays. |
✿ Nature Photography |
Get yourself a dependable camera that can capture the best of what nature and all its glory can offer. You can go trekking, jogging in the park, or strolling down a deserted highway, to capture photogenic subjects. Learn tips and tricks on how to become a photographer by signing up for a class, and record all your moments on social networking portals, like Flickr, Instagram, and Tumblr. You'd be surprised at how many people will take a liking to your work, especially when they're artistic or out of the box. |
☼ Outdoor Sports/Activities |
Have you always wanted to play golf, basketball, perfect your tennis skills, go snorkeling or deep-sea dive? Well now you can, once you put your mind and heart into it of course. Combine two loves like taking up a sport or activity and combining it with say, underwater/sport photography? Or taking mini videos of your first time or in the middle of learning a sport/activity? To take up something with fervor is the way to go, rather than whiling away time doing something you're not wholly committed to. |
