Now personally I would never have the guts to try this, but if there are any acrobats out there then why not try free-running. Although please try to be safe at all times because some of the jumps are pretty extreme, do not attempt these unless you have a lot of practice behind you.
6. Learn an Instrument

Musical instruments are so beautiful to listen to, so why not try to learn one. The price of music lessons does vary; you may be able to find very cheap lessons. However, you may find that certain instruments cost more and others cost less, i.e. Piano and Harp lesson normally cost more than Guitar.
5. Snow Boarding
The reason for choosing Snow Boarding and not Skiing is because, although Snow Boarders may disagree, the former is generally viewed as being slightly easier for newcomers. As long as you wrap up warmly and buy all of the correct gear, you should have an amazing experience. Remember that there are dry slopes too, so if you are a beginner you may want to learn on one of them first.
4. Horse Riding

In my opinion there is nothing better than galloping across the open countryside with the wind blowing through your hair, the occasional jump thrown into the mix is a perfect horse riding session. However, for those that are a bit uncertain about this there are horse riding opportunities where you are shown the basics and this is still really enjoyable.
3. Travelling

Travelling is a fantastic hobby to help fill up some spare time but it can be expensive if you do not know how to budget correctly. The reason why this can be so much fun is because you meet loads of new people, experience some fantastic different cultures, eat gorgeous food and also find some time to relax. You will find that if you set a reasonable budget in advance then this hobby will not be as expensive.
2. Salsa Dancing

A great way to burn off some calories and to keep fit, you never know you may even meet an amazing man or woman to whip you off your feet. The good thing is that basic salsa lessons do not normally cost that much money, if you want to become more advanced then you may need to pay more.
