Before picking a hobby,
let’s first explore what you’re hoping to get out of it.

You can certainly jump right in and try every hobby you come across, on this website and beyond. You’ll have a ton of fun and always be busy. But you’ll quickly learn — there are more hobbies than you’ll ever have time for.

At Not Just a Hobby, we’re focused on helping you find one hobby that best fits your needs and interests, and giving you the tools you need to make it part of your life.

That’s why we’re starting with a bigger question: What are you looking for?

Are you looking to fill your free time with a fun new activity?

To challenge yourself?
