We all lead very fast-paced lives. It’s easy, and completely understandable, to get lost in the intricate mesh of work, home, responsibilities, peers, and society. Also, our 24*7 global connectivity, through mobile phones and internet, adds to the whole stress. Usually there is no refuge even on vacations – be it our bosses barking orders, colorful rants of clingy partners or constant check-ins by parents.
Let’s take a look at these 11 remote, yet beautiful, places where we can totally let go. And yeah, don’t forget to NOT carry your phones or laptops. If someone insists, tell them, with a smirk, that these places are, indeed, internet-free. And even if there is any internet, it has bad reception.
