Not all hobbies are created equal. Some are easy, relaxing, and challenging, while others are simply weird!
If you have grown out of your comic book-collecting days and want to try your hand at something new, give one of these new-age hobbies a shot. Here is a collection of some of the wackiest and unusual hobbies. Let’s get started!
Toy Voyaging
Some hobbies are stranger than others and toy voyaging is one of them. You can register online to send your toy on a vacation to another part of the world, to have wacky wonderful adventures on its own. You can also host someone else’s toy if you like. People take this hobby incredibly seriously, giving their toy life missions they wish to fulfill, while hosts take photographs and complete travel journals of the toy enjoying its vacation.
Soap Carving
Soap carving may not be as intense as toy voyaging, but this artistic hobby is much more suited to calm creative individuals. It is about carving intricate and artistic designs into soap. The use of special techniques and tools is needed to create something stunning out of bars and blocks of soap. A lot of people share their creation videos on social media or share their skills on YouTube.
Element Collecting
As unusual hobbies go, one that might entice and appeal to chemistry students, in particular, is Element Collecting. This hobby involves the attempt of collecting elements from the periodic table. You might find a use for the element that you have collected, or simply collect them without any practical use. There are several ways of approaching this hobby with some enthusiasts opting for a specific group or row rather than the entire table.
News Raiding
News raiding or news bombing is the most bizarre hobby that people partake in around the world. This is where people find locations of live news reports and make it in the shot as a bystander. One of the most prolific news raiders is Paul Yarrow from the UK who has appeared in the background of hundreds of television broadcasts always wearing his signature beige sweater. To make this a hobby, you have to be consistent and diligent in searching where the reports are happening, and making your way into the background.
Geocaching
You can go on a real-life treasure hunt with Geocaching. This hobby uses satellites to locate trinkets and small boxes of treasures that can be swapped. There is a logbook to sign inside each one, and it is an amazing way to stay fit.
So, if you were to try one hobby from the above list, which one would you opt for?
