What are some activities which are free or inexpensive that I can do to entertain myself / keep good mental health while searching for a better paid job? (sh.itjust.works)

I recently moved to a new city and don’t know anybody here yet.

I want to try out some things and meet new people and avoid sitting at home all day (but sometimes is ok)

My ideas are hiking, volunteering and reading. What would you recommend? Any good ideas?

I make money off survey apps in my free time. I know you're looking for activities outside of the Internet, but while it's a grind, I've made 5K off survey apps over a couple of years, and haven't paid for anything on Amazon in three years. I am happy to tell you all about it. I imagine the money would be welcome.

How's that work? I'm curious myself.

Sorry I missed this comment; there are survey apps for your phone where you can do surveys and they pay you. The best ones are HeyPiggy, Five Surveys,Qmee, and Leger Opinion.

Oh! You mean like you take surveys. My bad. I thought you meant that you do surveys, like surveying the land. Idk why I thought that...
