Leisure: Traveling. Kristine Chen. NETID: chen205

This is a photo of a small rural railway station in Australia that I took last spring. To me, leisure means traveling and enjoying a different scenary and culture. It means spending time beforehand planning out places to go and sights to see. It means being able to relax and slow down my pace to look at all the things I want to see and not what the world wants me to see. Traveling in my leisure time gives me a new different level of experience and freedom that I won't be able to gain in daily life. Leisure is about doing things your way and making yourself satisfied.

Leisure Definition

This is a picture of people working out at a fitness club. It represents an activity many people do during their leisure time. To me, leisure is enjoying your free time with an activity. Working out is something I personally like to do in my free time because it makes me feel good and productive. It is also very relaxing and is something I try to do whenever I do have free time. I consider it leisure because it is not something I feel like I have to do, it is just something I enjoy doing that makes me feel good.

Dave Kohn's idea of Leisure

Leisure, to me, is a beautiful day by the cove at my summer camp. This picture shows the cove that has water trampolines, sailboats, slides, beach volleyball court, and much more. To me the cove is the best place in the world to participate in leisure because every activity I can do at the cove (even though I am working) is fun and enjoyable. Leisure is an activity that you can completely lose yourself in and enter a better, or more enjoyable, state of mind than before.

This is a photo of an island resort, and it represents a vacation like scenery. Ideally someone resting in the chair in the photo would have been my idea of leisure. Leisure is not necessarily being lazy or always vacationing, it is more so the planning of rest. It represents taking some time off to yourself to enjoy things other than your daily mundane life.
