The age of internet is a wonderful thing. The convenience of online shopping, long-distance video calls with loved ones, and endless content to scroll through on social media– who does not enjoy these simple comforts? But of course, every coin has a flip side. The constant stream of content on social media is flaring up anxiety, and deflating self-esteem, and now there always seems to be a bucket load of texts to respond to. If the internet is sapping away at your energy, you might need a break from the gift that never stops giving. Some time away from the digital world, connecting with nature and yourself might be just the right thing.
Move away from the constant pings on your phone, and check out these destinations with less network.
