Looking for new hobbies to take up?

It's a new year, and time to find your new passion. A hobby is a common way to improve your work-life balance by providing a goal to focus your energy on other than work. While sports and arts & crafts are some common hobbies there is a multitude of unique pastimes to enjoy.
