Try something new!

Do you also feel the urge, not only around New Year's Eve, but during the summer, as well to try something new? Now, that the days are so hot and long, I decided to look for some inspiration for trying new things to spice up my lazy summer days.

That's when I came across the website www.trysomethingnew.com. It looks very much like The Idea Swap, where you don't see a database of ideas, but get a simple page with a simple form that you have to fill out, then hit the Get idea! button and there you are!

You can search for new things to try according to location, or if you're looking for not-location specific ideas, you can pick a category from the drop down menu.

Here are a few I tried:

Making Money: (of course!)

Join an investment club! If you have no idea what's that, read the Wikipedia article!

Creative Endeavour:

Wood carving

Mental Fitness:

Play cribbage! No, I have no idea what that is. I've never been good at card games. But it says: "Cribbage is a great card game for two players. The rules are fairly easy to pick up [...] it combines fun and mental exercise."

However, they have nothing for girls, which is kind of sad.

Well, I suggest girls read the book First Comes Love by Katie Kacvinsky and take lots of inspiration from Dylan!

For Guys:

Play a game of darts! Haha! Hmm.

Do you have a favourite experience related to trying new things? Something that was fun or interesting and everyone should try it, too? Have you read a book that inspired you to try out something you read about in it? Let me know in the Comments below. (Mind you, I set all comments to moderate, so it may take a while to appear.)
