Find a New Hobby You Love After Retirement

Retirement is exciting! You have more time for your own activities and to find new passions you’ll love. 

Trying to find a new hobby? What did you love doing as a child? Have you always wanted to learn how to play the piano or tap dance? Now’s your chance to learn!

Here’s a list of ideas to help you connect with a hobby that you may have never considered:

1. Play Pickleball – Ping-pong and tennis lovers will love this similar-style game. All you need is a paddle, a small plastic ball with holes, and a badminton-sized court.
2. Take up photography – Take quality shots with a professional camera and practice your photography skills. 
3. Travel to historical places- Take time to explore a new city or town with family. Maybe there are some fun places within a short driving distance to discover.
4. Become a master gardener- Have a green thumb? If not, you can find workshops at local botanical gardens to learn the basics. 
5. Bird watch – Get a pair of binoculars and go exploring in your local park or backyard! 
6. Become a road scholar – Dream of traveling? This Road Scholar program geared towards older adults provides opportunities to volunteer and travel the world.
7. Learn a language – Have you always wanted to learn another language? There are great online programs to try like Rosetta Stone and Babbel. 
8. Yoga – This type of exercise can help strengthen your body and help keep it limber especially for aging adults.
