Hard to land on one but I would choose hiking! Though with the current weather in Vancouver, I may need a new hobby 🤣

 


Sleeping would be my forever hobby 🤣


That may be a wise choice @deanhowell 😆


Cartography. As nerdy as it seems, I love making maps and often will spend hours on the weekend putting a map together for no better reason than its fun (like the one below). If I wasn’t doing that, I’d be wandering around a virtual nuclear wasteland shooting things.

Oh, and travel… but then I’d come home and make a map of where I’d been so…..


That is indeed a difficult question, but if I have to choose, I would choose sailing.


I have to agree with Danielle here and pick hiking! I love all kinds of outdoor activities, but hiking kind of ties them all together. It is a great activity in itself but it also is the glue between camping, traveling, sightseeing, birding, climbing..

Kind of reminds me of some kind of integration software..


I guess running would be my one and only hobby then!


Oh travel is a good one! @marcust 


Haha I love the comparison to data integration @joepk!


Ohh it is a  very easy answer:

 

Soccer!


I would play video games with my favorite companion!

 


Nice of you to bring the FME Lizard along! @philippeb 


Tough one, because I have several hobbies that I could easily see myself doing for a long time. I think I'd have to pick cycling though. For me that is a great stress-reliever and a great way to explore places and stay healthy.


Probably backpacking, even if the trip is only a single overnight.


Since I make my own boards, can I count both woodworking and chess please?

Bonus points to anyone who recognises the opening!


I didn’t know you make your own boards, very cool! @mark2atsafe

That is really nice looking, very impressive.


Sicilian Defense ?

 

I would like to use FME to win a chess game.

 

Wonderful! Do you use Canadian wood?


I would have to say trail running. You can do it alone or with a group, it’s an escape from the stresses of the busy urban areas and you get to see places and sights that are truly unique.


I love it too for those reasons! @milo89
