Hiking & Backpacking
Ian, the writer behind Millennial Hobbies

Hi, I’m Ian.

This website is an ongoing project exploring my hobbies as an early millennial (zillennial technically) and sharing my experiences & views on a wide variety of subjects.

While this all started as an almost trauma-dump for me while dealing with mixed emotions about the future, I am hoping to turn it into more of a focus on the fun things you can do in life despite bad economic circumstances, recessions, plagues, global warming, rising sea levels, depression and more. To put it in simple words, coping with life and trying to make the best out of things or, how to have fun while living with existential dread.

My focus for now is outdoors recreation, prepping, hiking, music & web design/digital marketing. While that might change in the future I am having fun documenting and writing about these topics outside of my two full times jobs instead of scrolling social media, playing video games and hating life.

Speaking of which if you are interested in digital marketing or web design services for small businesses check out the Marketing tab in the menu.

Cheers! ;D
