Hobbies don’t always mean coughing out a little fortune on equipments or to painstakingly buy a collection of anything between coffee mugs to cars. There are many hobbies to try which are very interesting yet costs absolutely nothing or at least very easy on your pocket.
Origami
Origami is the art of folding paper into sculptures. Originally from Japan, origami is still widely popular across generations. There is an ungodly amount of things that you can make with origami – from the simplest of models that almost anyone can make to an elaborate scaled dragon like theRyujin 3.5.Skills with origami routinely make people scratch their head and wonder how this is even possible.For all that, you just need a piece of paper.
For a beginner, it’s easier to buy a book or download a pdf and practice simpler folding and sculpting techniques before moving on into more complex structures. There are a lot of instructional videos which you can find easily online if you want to build more than paper boats.
Geocaching
Geocaching is a real world treasure hunt. There is a huge base of players from all over the world which makes geocaching even more fun. All you need is a pen and a smartphone, and you're basically set. As a player, you will have to find and discover containers placed by other players using the geocache app. Once you have found it, you need to update the logbook and leave it for the next player to find it.
You can choose the level of difficulty of your geocache from something simple like behind some tree near a highway to more difficult adventures that involves climbing and crossing water streams. This is a highly recommend activity for anyone but especially young families. Kids love the hunt and it's a great outdoor, binding activity.
Birding
Bird watching as a hobby can be both relaxing and exciting for you while it is rejuvenating for nature. The best way to start birding as a hobby is to get a book about local birds and try to identify as many as you can in your locality. You can place a birdfeeder in your property and enjoy watching the birds in your backyard. It’s a good start to know which birds comes to visit you every other day and which are your seasonal visitors.
However, while beginning of bird watching is inexpensive, as you get deeper and deeper into it, it will become more expensive. Birders trying to do a Life List or Best Year will put a tremendous pressure on their finance, travelling the world to see that one rare bird.This is true for many other hobbies like photography or playing a musical instrument or even stargazing which ends up being way more expensive than you’d imagine.
