Starting August 2nd, I’m going off the grid.
Fully. No phone, no laptop, no screens.
Just Andrea, the island, the sea, and a whole lot of fyaka.
I’ll be back on August 18th.
But not the same version of me.
Because here’s what people don’t always see –
You don’t just unplug. You prepare to vanish.
It’s not a vacation. It’s a reset.
And resets require planning.
How I prepare for it
A few simple rules help make this possible:
– Scan the calendar and reach out to anyone who might need a heads up.
– Let family know in advance – no surprises if things go quiet.
– Charge up the old Nokia, pop in a local SIM. No apps, no data. Just calls, in case of emergency.
– Reschedule or cancel anything non-essential.
– Wrap up the big stuff early.
But more than logistics, I set one clear intention:
I’m not doing this to come back with more ideas.
I’m doing this to come back with less noise
One Line to Carry With You:
Turns out, the ultimate luxury retreat is no phone and a bad signal.
