Do you mean jobs that don't involve computers and are outside? Many geeky jobs will probably involve some sort of writing utensils, how is it different from computer?

I work as a software development freelancer and often work outside with a laptop or just pencil and piece of paper.

I don't have anything against computers, but it seems using them to code usually involves being sedentary. Sometimes I feel kind of imprisoned and think I should be moving about more.

Maybe it is only about balance, so a job that involves lot's of field work (eg for data collection) and some "home" work (data processing) might be good.
