What kind of activities do you do in your spare time?

Hi,
I'm doing a research for an university project, it's about sustainable vacations in the future. I focus myself in 65 years old people and over. For my project I'll probably need your help :)

What I need to know is what do you do in your spare time, what kind of activities and if you think that you could share this knowledge with others. An example could be knitting or gardening.

My project consist in create a trading system of services and activities.

Thank you for your help and time!

[size=4][/size]to project 2030..hi from suanne, in my spare time i knit, sew, read, garden, do cross stitch,cook and go to church functions .. what is your project going to achieve? ....suanne

Suanne,

thank you for your answer and your help! The project I'm developing is going to present a new way of doing sustainable Vacations. We are working in cooperation with VEIL (www.ecoinnovationlab.com), trying to develop a social innovation system for the traveling time in a sustainable way.

The reason why i'm asking about the activities you do on your spare time, is because I decided to develop a system where you can trade services with your community, e.g: driving for cooking.



Thank you again and if you have any comments, they are welcome!

I knit / crochet / garden / enjoy nature/ sometimes kayak/ I love to do bush walks--(that is a bit harder now) also would love to do more sailing / I also enjoy to have quite time to myself and read or use the computer / watch some TV--that I have prerecorded--also do a bit of traveling --by car and van / I love leaning new things

I volunteer two mornings a week for a charity. One morning, I go to the warehouse and sort throught the donated goods. The other morning, I go to the charity shop and keep the lending library in order. Apart from that I take my dog to agility training classes, one afternoon a week and play lawn bowls, one afternoon a week. The rest of the time I keep for myself.

I volunteer at the local women's centre, knit sew garden etc. We already have the L.E.T.System around n.s.w.....how would your system differ. Would it be better. Could you improve the lets....?

What is the LET system ?

Thank you to all of you, for helping me with my project.

Witch51 thank you for telling me about the LET System, I reseach for it, but I still don't know how it works. Have you use it? Do you like it, does it work? I saw that you need to download something. My project would work like a social network, kind of facebook but for a smaller community, such as suburb or town where you could exchange services.

I like to listen to talking books as I am visually impaired. I like my computor, with the help of a magnified screen

Music is a joy, be it Classics or rock &roll;,I love it all. My hubby & I walk a lot as we are close to the beach in sunny Queensland. Good luck with the project.

[b][[size=3][/size]]Hmm spare time ?? I'm not sure I can relate to that. I love to read, garden, knit, crochet, tapestry. I also cook for a garden group a few of us started to teach people with mental health problems living in our and surrounding suburbs, organic gardening and show them how to cook the produce. That takes two days of the week. I cook all my own pickles relishes jams cakes etc and bottle &/or freeze them for us and my family.



I also have a statue business, where I make and air brush paint cement statues.



That keeps me busy,off the streets and out of trouble[b][/b]
