Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I-Hart Radio.

Good morning. This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's tip is to take a hobby-themed vacation. Rather than

starting with where, sometimes it's fun to start with what you'll be doing and use some of your

time off to go deep on something you really love. So on the blog, Cup of Joe, a recent

post described a cookbook vacation, dreamed up by two friends. Both of them loved to cook,

so they rented an Airbnb and planned to cook their way through some famous cookbooks.

Unfortunately, the pandemic derailed their plans, but I still think that this is a really neat idea.

People who ski or dive or golf might take hobby vacations. But many folks with other sorts of hobbies don't really

think about how those might work in a holiday context. And yet, if we love our hobbies and generally

enjoy our time off, combining the two might make for some really memorable experiences.

So, for instance, if you like to cook, you could take a page from Cup of Joe and plan a vacation or staycation centered around cooking.

Maybe you could cook from a specific cookbook or visit a location known for a particular cuisine to take a cooking class.

You could enroll in a short course at a cooking school.

You could go somewhere with lots of farms and markets and really use the local ingredients.
