What do you like to do besides urbexing?

[Capulux]

Hey there, I searched abit but didn't find this thread here yet. The title is pretty self-explanatory - what do you like doing besides visiting sketchy, abandoned and derelict places?

I very recently started exploring myself (only handful of buildings visited in my former town) and got interested in this hobby. I currently live in Germany in a city called Dresden. It is quite a historical city, so there is always something to explore. Luckily, there is a lot of information on the internet about the interesting places to visit - I already got something planned out

Now to kick off this thread I'll start myself!

I like bouldering, reading books (fantasy or non-fiction), spending time with my lovely girlfriend and playing my (also lovely) ukulele.

Besides that, I am also trying to do business, which started off as a hobby, but became something I do full time

What about you guys?

Looking forward to your answers!

Hats off to you, sir, for the last hobby

and driving as in enjoying the everyday driving or going go-karting or something?

Hobby electronics, could you elaborate on that? As in repairing them?
You also lost me at "DTP", but we share the love for the metal music What kind of metal, if I might ask?

Hobby Electronics = making projects using circuit diagrams and printed circuit board layouts.DTP = DeskTop Publishing. Creating magazines, leaflets, books, etc. Metal music = mostly 1980s, some late 1970s.

I see, that sounds really interesting.

A year back I was also a bit into publishing. I used kindle direct publishing as my platform and wrote a couple of books about my interests nothing spectacular, but not that shabby either I'd say

As for my metal taste - I am a big metallica fan and I also like to listen to bands like Disturbed, Godsmack, SOAD and so on Melodic metal with nice riffs is my thing.

A curious thread to start for someone who has never posted here before. I guess it's an introduction of sorts.

In my spare time I spend too much time admin'ing internet forums...

Yeah, I admit. Even online I am somehow too shy to introduce myself... So you can say that this is an introduction

How does admining internet forums usually look like?

On top of running a structural steel company & spending time with my girlfriend, hence exploring for me is a grab it while u can gap filler!

Yeah, I know, but it is still funny to hear it said in such a way Banger racing? I need to start googling all these strange hobbies

Guitar? I think I might pick it up later on as well. IT always amazes me how much fuller the sound of the guitar is than of the ukulele. I dont notice it until someone next to me starts playing the guitar

Btw, really nice photos I went through the links in your signature.

ER biking, what kind of biking is that? From your profile pic I can imagine it is going to be the adrenaline-filled kind of biking

I wonder, do you guys ever hide/find caches inside the abandoned buildings or nearby?

Yeah Mountain bike & road bike, have been doing it for 27 yrs!
There is strict ruling with caches that they must be in publically accesable places or private land with permission but yes I have often thought there could be some cracking hides in derelict.
That said there used be one in box mine, but I think that has now been removed!
