Why I prefer remote places

I’ve traveled to vibrant cities, historic capitals, iconic hotels, and destinations that appear on every list. I love culture, architecture, gastronomy, and the energy you feel in places where the world gathers.

But if I’m completely honest, there is something that makes me feel happier than all of that.

Remote places.

There is a pleasure that is difficult to explain in being somewhere where the human presence barely exists. Where there is no constant noise, no rush, no screens. Where the landscape was not designed — it simply exists. Pure. Untamed. Perfect in its own way.

When I am surrounded by mountains, deserts, jungles, or endless oceans, I feel something very clear: the profound beauty and magic that our own planet has to offer us. It is not a beauty created to impress. It is a beauty that simply is.

In those moments, the ego becomes small. Worries lower their volume. The body breathes differently.

I love the feeling of standing alone in front of a masterpiece not created by man. A silent sunrise. An endless road. The wind moving through tall grass. The sound of water flowing without an audience.

I have traveled through all kinds of environments — urban, social, sophisticated, cultural. I appreciate each one for different reasons. But the space where I feel most like myself, most present, most alive, is where nature takes the lead and the human being is simply a quiet visitor.

It is not isolation. It is connection.

Connection with the landscape. With natural rhythm. With simplicity. And also with myself.

Perhaps that is why, when I design journeys, I always try to includ

e moments where the environment has room to speak. Not everything needs an agenda. Not everything needs to be an activity. Sometimes the most transformative thing is simply to be.

I prefer remote places because they remind me that the world is immense, that beauty does not need a stage, and that there are still corners where magic has not been interrupted.

And every time I return from one of those places, I come back different. Lighter. Clearer. More grateful.

Maybe not everyone seeks that kind of experience. But if you also feel that deep peace when standing alone in nature, then you know exactly what I mean.
