What hobby did you pick up as an adult that genuinely surprised you

[Highland Builder]

Started woodworking about three years ago purely on a whim after watching one YouTube video, and it's turned into the thing I actually look forward to most evenings now, genuinely did not see that coming for myself at all

There's something interesting about the hobbies that sneak up on you as an adult versus the ones you actively went looking for, sometimes the accidental ones end up being the ones that actually stick

Curious what people's genuine surprise hobby has turned out to be, the one you'd never have predicted for yourself even a few years back

Started birdwatching during a really boring stretch of remote work and it's become one of my favorite parts of any weekend now, never in a million years would I have predicted that for myself
