If you enjoy collecting things or making collections of certain things then stamp collecting could be the way to go. It is said that stamp collecting is the most complex collecting hobby to have so you through this you could really stretch your mind to lots of different things.
Although you could collect stamps anyway you wish to choose for example you may wish to only collect English stamps or stamps with a specific picture on but whichever you decide you will learn so much from each collection you make. You will find some magnificent history out about each collection and through this you will want to keep collecting many different stamp collections and find the history of each one. Imagine making a scrap book of many different collections full of history to tell and pass down into many different generations to come.
Not only will you learn the history of each stamp collection you make but you will also learn of its value. Yes, stamps do have some worth to them depending on the date, era and specific stamp so you could make your hobby into a little career by collecting and auctioning many different stamps. Some you may not decide you want or need to keep so to sell would be the next best thing.

Once you have decided where you want to start then you need to find out where you can find all the stamps you want to have in your collection. It’s not as easy as going down to the local post office and asking for a specific stamp, dated at a certain time, representing a certain piece of history but you can search the web where not only will you more than likely find the stamp you’re looking for but you will also find the history and value!
