If silence and solitude are what your soul craves, you’re hardly going to pick a metropolis for your vacation. Especially when there are so many places out there in the world where nature and human life almost seem to be extensions of each other, where there are homes that look as if they’ve been drawn into a grandiose landscape painting, surrounded by nothing but majestic nature. We’ve all seen, heard, or perhaps even visited places where life seems so harmonious that they make us want to give up the city and civilization for good.
