What hobbies on overnights? Just a fun convo
So I’ve been in the airlines for 6 years and find myself constantly thinking that I’m wasting my time on overnights (which is well over half the month). I sit in my room, watch tv, occasionally go out with the crew, maybe get a workout in, but other than than that may as well watch the paint dry on the walls..
Just curious what you’re all into when you aren’t working? Anyone bring gaming systems..I remember a guy years ago that did that. Do you have a side job, working on a degree on the side? How do you keep yourself entertained? Can’t wait from 10 years from now when I can go back to day trips.
Just looking for different ideas. I’ve already tried brainstorming😁

You might consider something like this:
The Great Courses Plus Review | A Practical Pursuit
Many of the courses don’t really require video (e.g. the ones on music, philosophy, law, etc.), so you can listen to a lecture on your smartphone while walking around.

I have a gaming laptop, so if all else fails and we’re in a hotel in the middle of nowhere I’ll do that. Brought an Xbox one with me for awhile when red dead redemption 2 came out but it was bulky.
I try to use the time to catch up on volunteer work and other odds and ends stuff. I know some people do web design on the side which is pretty lucrative but more work than I want to put in.
Otherwise I’ll look up where I’m at on Atlas Obscura and see if there is anything odd nearby I can go explore. I try to at least go for a long walk at the non-murdery hotels. I’ve also toyed with the idea of starting an insect collection.

What interests do you have?
Off hand I would recommend reading The intelligent investor by Benjamin Graham. Every one should start educating themselves as early as possible and plan for retirement.
