WHY HOBBIES???

Well, I think hobbies are some kind of time-spending activities that gives pleasure to people when they are being carried out, and everyone should have a hobby to bring some fun and colour into their lives. When you get bored from your monotonous life, hobbies give you the joy of having something different and interesting to do. Sometimes you can even lose yourself as you can't even notice how the time passed when you are engaged with it.
If you don't have a hobby and you want to have one, I hope the ones I will post and give information about can attract your attention and give you an idea so that you can choose one and fit it into your ordinary lives. :)

#3 GEOCACHING: A Hobby Especially for Men

Geocaching is an outdoor sporting activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers called 'geocaches' or caches anywhere in the world.


Here is a short video about what a geocaching is:






A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the day they found it and signs it with their established code name.




 Geocaching is a game of high-tech hide and seek.
Geocaches are currently placed in over 100 countries around the world and on all 7 continents including Antarctica. There are over 1.639.000 active geocaches published on various websites. There are also over 5 million geocachers worldwide.







What do geocachers do?
A geocacher places a waterproof container containing a log book and trade items then record the cache's coordinates. These coordinates and other details are posted on a listing site. Other geocachers obtain the coordinates from that listing site and seek out the cache using their GPS handheld receivers. The finding geocachers record their exploit in the log book and online. Geocachers are free to take objects (except the log book, pencil or stamp) from the cache in exchange for leaving similar or higher value.
