2. "I hate the phone ringing, and I dislike email, but I
have to use them constantly at work. When I get
home I turn off the phone and computer. when I
get away home I turn off phone and computer.
When I get away I bring a phone and laptop, but
only use it in emergencies, It's just the sound of
silence and the wind in my face"
— Natalie, of Campwood, Texas

8. "My wife, Nicole, and I recently spent 3 weeks in
London; Paris, and Switzerland, making the most of
the summer hours, museums, galleries, theatres
and pay-as-you-go bikes (best way to see London).
Art, culture, history, nature (the actual versions)
were a great way to disconnect from technology
and connect with each other and things we are
passionate about. Admittedly we used a GPS to get
around Switzerland but no Facebook, Twitter,
iPhones or email for 3 weeks"
— Michael Thomas of Johannesburg

world as he can while traveling: no MP3 player
and very little digital camera. "Maybe just
once, He says. "[It's] nice to have my own
thoughts without distractions or incoming
updates"

12. "During this trip, I had no access to computers
and I was using a prepaid cellphone. It was bliss
not knowing what was going on with the world
and just enjoying the company of my family...
Sometimes, we all need a little break to unwind
and remove ourselves from this technologically
dependent society. My break is in traveling"
— Chanel Brown is an ESL teacher in South Korea

14. "I like get to get out of cellphone range when I
disconnect. Death Valley is 300 miles from my
house. Sometimes I go to Joshua Tree National
Park (pictured here). The Xterra allows me get
off the paved roads and camp in very remote
places. There is a real sense of freedom to not
be reachable for a short time "
— Bill Hornstein of Los Angeles
