Let’s not lie to ourselves, technology is everywhere and it’s permeated parts our lives most of us would have assumed we’d keep private. We wake up in the morning, scroll through a few feeds before picking up our double shot espresso latte ordered on the Starbucks app, complain about the line on Twitter, while emailing work about being late. There’s never been a generation so attached to our devices, so dependent on technology to drive our lives. Decompressing now means disconnecting, getting off-the-grid and finding an inspiring pocket of the planet so remote as to remain unfettered by wifi signals and Insta stories so that we can socialize, gather and connect IRL.
We’ve got some pretty darn perfect picks for said off-the-grid trips – remote, sweetly serene yet cutting-edge cool hotspots where we agree, go technology free. So plan your next Instagram-free fete away from your “social” life and instead of engaging online with your followers, engage and socialize with your closest friends offline, just like the old days.
