When someone asked me recently what I'm into I didn't have answers. Existential crisis aside, what are some good hobbies/interests for someone in their mid thirties to pick up?

Really anything can be a hobby, but I’ll be a shill for my own hobbies real fast: playing guitar, hiking, writing, reptiles/snakes, tea, and tabletop games.

I really like this idea both for it's practically (I live next to a large climbing gym) and for it's physical benefits. However, I'm pretty afraid of heights. So it'll depend on how willing I am to confront that fear.

If they have a bouldering section, that can be good way to get used to the movements without really getting high off the ground!

Cooking, Painting, Woodworking, learn an instrument, read more, write more.

Play a lifetime sport like golf or disc golf or softball.

Hike and learn more about nature.Fish, Forage, Hunt or just take up shooting in general.

Craft stuff. Knit, Crochet, Sew.

Build a computer or a virtual pinball machine and play all the amazing games made over the last 30 something years.

Run, Bike, Skate, Row, Swim, move!

Disc golf. Most cities of moderate size have a course somewhere around and most are free to use. Can get started with 1 disc, about 10 to 12 dollars for a putter, all you'd need to start, or get a starter set of 3 discs for about 30 to 40 bucks at most sporting goods stores.

I've been addicted to disc golf for a decade, and while I'm still not very good, I still enjoy every single round so much.

There's so much benefit to squeeze out of the sport:

  • hiking
  • humility
  • healthy competitive spirit
  • self control
  • decision making
  • sight seeing

Disc golf changed my life, and I hope others find their way to it too
