Ever feel like the universe just won’t give you a break? Kids yelling, emails pinging, the neighbor’s dog barking like it’s auditioning for a horror movie? Maybe it’s time for a little getaway. Well if you are looking for some seclusion, no one will bother at these places. No street vendors hawking “genuine” Rolexes, no tour guides telling you where to stand—just you, some peeling wallpaper, and maybe the distant creak of a door that shouldn’t be moving.
When life gets too loud and chaotic, there’s nothing like a walk through a deserted village or a crumbling, haunted mansion to clear your mind. The silence is so deep you can practically hear your own thoughts echoing back to you. And if you happen to hear someone else’s thoughts? Well, that’s a story for another time.
