What are your hobby(s) / interests aside from internet?

Creativity is so rare that people would pay for it.

I miss that creativity was freely accepted among everyone.

Fresh ideas are such a big deal and not publicized.
 


My best hobbies

Apart from the internet, my interests are:


Cooking: I learnt to cook when my wife went to have our first child and I run out of what to eat. Since then I have enjoyed it and cook once a while for the whole family.
Gardening: There's nothing more beautiful than relaxing among trees, flowers and other plants and listening to animals like birds. It's heartwarming to watch small lives like ants, butterflies and lizards doing their own thing.
Listening to music: I work hard on ly teaching work, writing and blog. So I often need to wind down. Jazz music calms me down like nothing else.
Travelling: I love seeing other places, enjoying other cultures, foods and meeting new people. This enables me to do it.
Going to the beach: I like to watch the waves, the horizon and the small aquatic life like crabs that crawl out of homes and slither all around. Unfortunately our beach is out of bounds now due to the Corona pandemic.
 
When I'm disconnected from the internet, I mostly go to car shows, or go for a drive with absolutely no plans at all. Just driving through the country side or on the twisty roads in the mountains. I drive a turbo diesel wagon which doesn't handle that well and doesn't accelerate particularly quickly, but I just enjoy it's turbo whizzing.
