Name things you believe it's possible that only you enjoy.

I like to collect and read brochures, maps and internet articles on destinations I hope to visit one day. After the trip, I like to keep the material. I obsessively research a destination to the minute details and my hour by hour itinerary includes where I'll sit down for lunch and when the rest times are. This in order to take maximum advantage of the time and money and sites during the trip.

That's what I love doing!!

I actually sometimes enjoy planning the trip as much (if not more) as I enjoy going on the trip. :D

That is a great hobby! Have you tried earth.google.com? Nothing like zooming in and looking at the actual place too.

I don't have any unique hobbies myself. I'm into computer programming and music -- I suppose I'm lucky, in a sense, to have obsessions that I can build a career on (at least, one that is almost strong enough to hold up to the rest of me).

Hi, there! I am an avid collector of vintage magazines..Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, Time, Newsweek, Better Homes and Gardens,usually from the 1930's 40's, and 50's. I spend hours looking over the articles, ads, brain teasers, etc.. No one else has an interest in them as I do, they are my special collection.. :lol:
