Are you looking for a unique hobby to spice things up? This post covers the most unique hobbies to try this year that you’re going to love.
I have always been about unique hobbies that most people have never done or know how to do. Having a unique hobby makes you a more interesting person and makes for more insightful conversations with people.
You are going to love this list of unique hobbies to try this year. So let’s get into it.
1. Scuba diving
Believe it or not, I actually took a scuba diving class in college. We watched a few videos, then they suited us up, and we practiced in the deep end of the olympic-sized pool. It was SO cool! It was completely random, but I learned so much!
If you love the water and want to try something very unique and special, definitely give scuba diving a try.
You can make it as serious or not of a hobby as you want to. Just take a couple classes for the experience, or go all in and get your scuba license. With a scuba license, you can make your tropical vacations a lot more interesting!
2. Equestrianism
If you’re more of a land person and love animals, equestrianism would be the perfect hobby for you! It’s every little girl’s dream to ride horses, so why not make it a reality?
Search your area for horseback riding lessons and sign up! Like any hobby, you can do it just for fun, or take it to the next level and ride for sport. Either way, it’s a great hobby to get you in the outdoors connected to nature.
3. Rock climbing
Rock climbing can be extremely difficult, but it has such a special community of like-minded, adventure-seeking people that love to get together and climb rocks! Start off in an indoor rock climbing facility and take lessons, then work your way up to the outdoors!
This is a really great hobby to get you into shape as it takes a lot of strength to be able to rock climb.
4. Belly dancing
Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it! This has been the most surprisingly exhilarating hobbies of all that I’ve ever tried.
I took my first class in 2020 and have never looked back since. To this day I take private classes online once a week with a popular Ukrainian belly dancer.
The misconception is that you have to be a certain size, shape or age in order to belly dance, but that is furthest from the truth! Women of all shapes, sizes and ages can and do perform this dance.
Belly dancing is actually the healthiest and most natural dance form for the female body and has a wealth of health benefits that come along with it too.
Belly dancing really gets you out of your shell and is a great way to overcome insecurity with your body. I have never felt more confident in myself and my body than when I started taking belly dance lessons. It is an incredibly sexy dance, so those of you with husbands, watch out! He will be ALL over you!
If you’re looking for an extra unique and sexy hobby to try, consider belly dance!
5. Learn a language
I cannot recommend this enough. Especially if you have a significant other, family or friends who speak another language. Think about learning that language this year!
In my opinion, the more unique of a language it is, the better!
Learning a language opens your mind to other cultures and leads to so many bonding and friendship opportunities with people who share the same culture or language. It opens your whole world up and makes you a more well-rounded, thoughtful and interesting person.
Language is also really good for your brain and keeping it sharp. This is a really great unique hobby to try this year!
6. Boxing
My aunt took me to a group boxing class and it kicked my butt! But it was awesome!
If you are wanting to get in shape this year, this is the PERFECT hobby for you! It’s fun, fast-paced, and a REALLY good work out! You’ll be dripping sweat by the end of it, but it leaves you with that good feeling you get after you’ve done something really good for your body.
7. Screenwriting
If you’re the creative type, take a couple courses or read some books about screenwriting and write a movie! Save The Cat is one of my favorite books on screenwriting and is a great place to start if you’re interested in it.
How many times have you said “that would make such a great movie”! Well, then write it! Seriously!
If you’re really good, consider entering your screenplay into festivals. You never know, if it gets into the right producer’s hands, you could even get picked up by a production company and build a career around it.
8. Take the Haircare Challenge
It’s a deep rabbit hole you can dive down learning about the healthy and toxic ingredients in your hair products. I know this because I did it!
It’s called the Haircare Challenge at HairQare, and it was incredible what I learned! They even teach you how to make your own natural shampoo.
You don’t have to focus on hair. You can learn how to make natural soaps, body wash, candles, etc. Anything! Become an expert in the beauty product industry and learn the best ingredients and practices for a natural and healthy body.
9. Archery
Another unique and super fun hobby to start up is archery. It is so hardcore and with this skill will come a lot respect.
Think Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games.
Of all the unique hobbies to try, make this year the year you learn how to shoot a bow and arrow.
10. Aerial Silk
How many people do you know do aerial silk?
Well, your answer is probably 0. Which means this would make a perfect unique hobby to try! Aerial silk is such a beautiful and unique skill that’s like dancing in the air! Not to mention, anyone who learns you do this will be instantly impressed.
Aerial silk requires a lot of strength, but don’t let that be something that scares you from taking a class. Everyone there had their first class too. The strength and big impressive moves are something you will build up to over time.
11. Figure skating
Have you seen Ice Princess? Put those ice skates on and take an actual class! Learn the choreography and movements like the figure skaters on TV and gain confidence on the ice.
There’s just something so graceful and mesmerizing about figure skating. Most people don’t think about actually taking a class. So grab those skates and sign up!
This post is all about unique hobbies to try this year.
