Geocaching
If you would like to do something that is an impressive outdoor activity, then do go geocaching. Geocaching is all about finding a treasure, while exploring different things that you might come across. If you do not know what geocaching is, here is the definition and concept behind it. This hobby is done by a group of people globally who hide containers by using the GPS coordinates. Once the GPS coordinates are shared via an app, such as Geocaching®, people from all around the world can access them and go hunting. The coolest thing about geocaching is that you get to go outside and enjoy the activity, but also keep your mind excited for what you can find. In addition to that, you can also feel as being a part of the community because you will contribute to other people doing geocaching, but also others will hide treasures for you to find.
Outdoor Painting
Are you more interested and skilled in the artsy side? Then for this summer we recommend you try outdoor painting. This activity is also known as plein air painting and like the name suggests, you go outside to paint the surrounding environment. This is a terrific way to connect with nature and by observing a lot of things that you might not have been aware of. So, once you are out and trying to paint the view in front of you, you will be able to see and analyze every detail there is and translate it to artistic expression. Also, on the bright side, you will be getting more fresh air, which might not have been the case if you were painting inside your atelier. We all love some fresh air, don’t we? However, there are also some challenges when it comes to plein air painting such as the light changes or the shadow switching up because of the sun moving. Nevertheless, the whole experience is rather rewarding and an absolutely immersive hobby.
