Collecting leaves, knitting, tennis - almost everyone had a time in their lives where they were intensely into a hobby, or maybe it’s even a lifelong endeavor. The passing year, many people discovered hidden passions or talents during the lockdown, which is one positive thing that came out of this complicated situation.

Some people’s hobbies, however, are a bit more unusual than others. The following photo collection proves just that and includes some of the most eccentric pastimes we ever heard of. At the end of the day, if it makes you feel good and doesn’t hurt anyone else, we definitely encourage practicing what you love!
