Abstract
This paper depicts a reflective narrative of my research journey in the field of serious leisure from 2017 to the present. Serious leisure includes a broad range of indoor and outdoor hobbies, amateurism and volunteer activities that are adequately challenging and sufficiently rewarding (e.g. pottery, woodworking, calligraphy, fishing, rock climbing). Successful involvement in serious leisure usually requires long-term dedication and learning some forms of knowledge, skills or attitudes. It is a multidisciplinary research area, and scholars from various disciplines investigate mental, personal, cultural and social facets of engagement in leisure activities. In my research program, I mainly focus on the informational aspects of serious leisure and investigate how people interact with information sources in this setting. My research findings up to this stage demonstrate that serious leisure is a highly information-rich realm, and the participants are actively engaged in seeking, sharing and producing leisure-related information.
