RV Friendly Hobbies to Start in the New Year

The New Year is here! Some of the most common New Year’s resolutions have to do with finding hobbies to learn and throw yourself into. In this month’s blog we will go over some of the fun and creative hobbies you can be apart of while traveling in your RV.

Crocheting, Knitting, and Embroidery

While enjoying the freedom of RV travel, many enthusiasts find solace in the art of crocheting, knitting, and embroidery. Whether parked at a campground by a tranquil lake or nestled in a cozy mountain retreat, these handicrafts offer the perfect opportunity for travelers to unwind and express their creativity. With the compact nature of these activities, they easily fit in the limited space of an RV, allowing enthusiasts to indulge in their passion no matter where the road takes them. The repetitive nature of crocheting and knitting can be particularly calming, while embroidery offers a chance to add personal flair to clothing or décor. As the sun sets on a day of adventure, many RV travelers find joy in embracing these traditional crafts, creating beautiful and unique pieces along their journey.

Reading

Reading while RV traveling is a wonderful way to unwind and escape into different worlds while on the road. Whether lounging inside the cozy confines of the RV or relaxing under the shade of a canopy outside, the simple act of turning the pages of a book can transform any journey into an adventure. With the ever-changing scenery outside the window providing the perfect backdrop, reading becomes a cherished pastime that adds to the overall joy of RV travel. From gripping novels to captivating travel guides, immersing oneself in a good read while RV traveling offers a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of the road, allowing for moments of tranquility and personal enrichment.

Animals/Bird Watching

Traveling is not only an opportunity to explore new places and experience diverse cultures, but it is also a chance to indulge in the joy of animal and bird watching. As you journey through different landscapes, keep an eye out for native wildlife, from majestic eagles soaring through the sky to elusive deer gracefully traversing the forests. Whether you're navigating through verdant national parks, strolling along tranquil lakeshores, or parking your RV in a picturesque campground, there are countless opportunities to witness the beauty of nature. Take pleasure in observing a colorful array of birds flitting among the trees or spy a family of curious raccoons foraging for food. Embrace the serenity of the natural world while on the road and create unforgettable memories of encountering wildlife in their natural habitats.

Kindness Rocks

While walking around town you may have stumbled across a rock that was painted with a pretty picture of a fun saying. These rocks were not put here by mistake. These are called Kindness Rocks. This trend started in 2015 when a woman wrote “You got this” on a rock and left it on a public beach for others to find. When people saw this rock, they started to leave their own painted rocks of their own in other places for people to find. Now Kindness Rocks have taken the world by storm. You can find rocks that are native to the state or town that you are visiting and write positive and uplifting sayings or pretty paintings and leave them to brighten up another’s day. This is a fun unique way to leave your mark on not only the places you visit but also the strangers who discover these rocks.

Drawing and Painting

Drawing and painting in an RV provides an opportunity to capture the essence of the ever-changing landscapes encountered on the road. The compact setting of an RV challenges artists to work efficiently and creatively, utilizing limited space and materials. Whether setting up an impromptu plain air studio in the great outdoors or creating pieces inspired by the cozy interior of the RV, artists can find inspiration in the unique experiences and scenic vistas that come with RV travel. The flexibility of an RV allows artists to chase inspiration wherever it may lead, providing a dynamic and ever-changing canvas for their work.

Photography

Photography is an essential part of the RV traveling experience, allowing enthusiasts to capture the breathtaking landscapes, charming small towns, and memorable moments along the way. Whether it's the majestic mountains of the Rockies, the serene beaches of the West Coast, or the vibrant fall foliage in New England, there's always something picture-worthy to capture. The flexibility of RV travel provides unique opportunities for photographers to explore off-the-beaten-path locations and discover hidden gems, resulting in stunning and authentic images. From sunrise to sunset and everything in between, photography adds an extra layer of enjoyment and creativity to the RV lifestyle, preserving cherished memories for years to come.

Blog Posts

Hitting the open road in an RV while crafting blog posts is a truly invigorating experience. The ever-changing scenery and new environments provide endless inspiration for fresh and engaging content. Whether parked beneath the towering redwoods or overlooking a tranquil lakeside, the setting often becomes a central character in the writing process, infusing each post with a unique sense of place. Embracing the nomadic lifestyle, navigating through different destinations, and immersing in varied cultures all contribute to a rich tapestry of stories and insights to share with readers. Additionally, the flexibility of RV living allows for a customized work environment, whether it's creating content amidst the serene natural surroundings or within the cozy confines of the RV itself, fostering a seamless blend of work and adventure.
