A bread machine, online yoga classes, endless walks and of course that new furry roommate. North Holland embraced many new hobbies during the pandemic, but which of them stuck? NH News went to investigate.
A short survey by NH Nieuws shows that corona hobbies are generally the ‘old trusted’ hobbies. For example, dogs were adopted and the camera was picked up. And if possible, several activities are combined. “I started photographing more,” says a hiker. “You go for a lot of walks, you’re going to figure that out on foot. And now, since we got a dog, we do that even more.”
Not everyone likes the explosion of corona hobbies. According to forest ranger John Didderen, some activities, such as group sports or cycling trips in nature reserves, are not equally appreciated by everyone.
