Hobbies for nomads

When living nomadically, the types of hobbies that work well are different from those which you can do when living conventionally. Having hobbies can help alleviate boredom and loneliness.

Off-road travel

Getting far away from it all usually involves getting off the beaten path. Learning how to go "overland" is a great way to explore.

Nomad art

Whether painting your van, decorating your space, or creating art or music to sell or give away, many nomads enjoy expressing themselves with creative works.

Gardening

Many cities have community gardens which are free to use.

Cooking

Despite having a small kitchen, many nomads enjoy cooking on the road. Access to local ingredients as you travel is a big plus.

Photography

Spending more time living out of the van means more opportunities to create photos or videos of your travels.

Other hobbies

Try sewing, geocaching, reading, or writing.
