At least once in their lives everybody has had the idea of going somewhere far, far away, where there is no evil boss, household chores, and where no one will surely "nag" over trifles. We're all looking for a peaceful and quiet place to stay.

The world is full of megacities inhabited by millions of people. However, there are still places on our planet where you can feel truly alone with yourself and take a break from work colleagues, noise, and endless phone calls.

Check out Spuntik's gallery, with houses made for introverts, houses that cannot be easily approached, and what is more, will not be easily found.
