5 Days of Fun and Cheap Side Quests (Part 1)

I’m challenging myself to an “Analog Summer”, a movement toward hobbies, real-life connection, and quirky local adventures that don’t cost a fortune. 

I’m Gen X and an expert in analog life, because I lived most of my life in it!!! Here are some budget-friendly summer side quests. These fun and simple activities will make you forget all about your digital life for a while like we’re back in the 80’s and 90’s!

Don’t miss the end where I share some of my 80’s sticker collection. 🌈🦄
