KENT, ENGLAND – Some people go to clubs. Some into the woods. Some unfurl a beach towel and let the sun cauterise their wounds. There are meditation retreats and spa packages, movies and music. Escaping reality is a billion-dollar business.

In 2025, however, I try to recharge differently. Enough of paying a premium for silence; I want to do nothing, for nothing. As it turns out, such an option does indeed exist. And it does not have to cost an arm and a leg.
