Is travelling a hobby? 100% it is. The dictionary definition of hobby is 'an activity someone does for pleasure when they are not working'. So if you travel for pleasure whilst you are away from one, you can absolutely consider your travel as a hobby. As a hobby, travelling keeps us busy during leisure; it is the best method to utilise time. Until a person breaks from the dull routine, physically and mentally, he cannot find satisfaction; travelling helps us to achieve this break and rejuvenates us.
