Iceland maybe if you can go to a family hut in the hinterland. If you're stuck in Reyk or you're anywhere within an hour's drive you will be mobbed by chink tour busses full of Chinamen in full arctic expedition gear that they very clearly just purchased at the airport for at least $1488.

Seriously the dudes show up in full battle rattle like Helly Hansen survival suits so that they can sit on a tourbus and do the golden circle. Better gear than I've ever had in my life for the 6 minutes they spend taking selfies of Gulfoss.

It's a shame Afghanistan is still so unapproachable, because up in the northeast there in the mountains was the most beautiful place I've ever been to. Like crystal blue untouched caldera lakes up at 15000' elevations with not a single hint of civilization in sight, not so much as a goat trail. Absolutely striking. It was there that I saw the night sky in the most vivid detail imaginable in hues of the richest, deepest blues you've ever seen and the milky way like a bank of fog made from light.

More obtainable, you can volunteer to be an unskilled deckhand on a transatlantic crossing for a yacht delivery. Bonus points if you've ever sailed or are willing to learn over the summer. The middle of the ocean is basically the definition of austerity and isolation.

As far as America go, there's lots of parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, North and South Dakota that are incredibly remote and make you feel like you're the last person on earth.

You're a good writer. Tell me more about your travels

i so want to be in the middle of the ocean after reading this

Kars in Turkey.
I'd hate to live there, but I've never been in a "major" city that made me feel so lonely. Very comfy though.

heading to see kluane, Atlin and Dawson city this summer, so damn hyped. I imagine there's gonna be so many damn rv's I'll get stuck behind on the way up there though :(

The Amazon is filled with small villages all over the place. If you really get into the jungle away from any civilization then it's just a bunch of suck.

>>1267995
can you tell me where are the lakes you're talking about?
I think I just gained another dream to live for

I think the "stans" and some areas of Africa are the most "opposite side of the world" for us westerners.

Are there any "remote" villages that are actually livable?

Is there internet in those places, and what do people who live in the middle of nowhere write in "adress" when they ship something from amazon.

>>1268322
Their address, I imagine

>>1268325
ok but how if there are no streets or point of reference
"hello id like to order a pizza"
"sure where"
"the cabin next to that one mountain look here are my geographical cordinates"

Some Island in the middle of the Pacific

>>1268332
sure
they have no roads
no cars
no homes
no buildings at all
In fact, they live in mud pits, self-dug during every heavy rain.
They don't recognize each other, hence they just call everybody Muhhamed
Truly, a strange place where civilisaton have never tresspassed.
So Amazon will be happy once you just write "Muhammed, Afghanistan".
Mind you though they might have no idea what to do with a box they recieve.
Also, Amazon may charge you extra for the unusual order.

>>1268322
An example: if you want to mail something to the government (such as it is) of the Pitcairn Islands, the best you can do is a post office box in New Zealand.

The pic of the village anon posted is French countryside so even if it's isolated from French standarts it's not really the middle of nowhere, it's western Europe so postal services proceed as usual
As far as I know there's internet pretty much everywhere but the speed might be shite

I've been trying to find these sorts of places in otherwise populated areas with mixed success. I just got back from a week in western Siskiyou County, California. Going up 101 had a ton of people, 299 less so, then onto 96 with far less people, past Somes Bar and then took some unnamed roads further into the woods northwest until that ended, then I hiked for half a day and camped there. Never saw, heard or witnessed evidence of another soul until I hiked back out and drove home. I'd imagine there are lots of places like that near western U.S. state borders.

I had a similar experience in Louisiana where I took a boat down the Atchafalaya River, turned into a bayou and kept going until I couldn't see any traces of humanity. Camped out there a few days, but eventually heard a plane overhead and it lost some of it's appeal.

Have had less success in places like Germany, Moldova and Mexico. I tried to go camp out in all three and never found any place that didn't at least have a well established little ranching community in their less traveled areas.

>>1271162
you fucking did it in US, but failed in Moldova?
man, it's either that you were really unlucky or that I know nothing about Moldova

>>1271454
I was probably unlucky. It was my first time in Moldova and I was there on business, just managed to steal away for two days. I went northwest from Chisinau towards some forested hilly areas, but every backroad I took ended with a town or village. My Russian and Romanian weren't good enough that I felt I could push my luck going into some of the forests, besides everything looked like it belonged to someone already.

I guess it's easier in the U.S. because there has been less time for folks to settle the land. I mean flying over most of Europe is depressing to me because it's so visibly tamed by humans; at least in the U.S. there are still miles of nothing and no one interrupted by sprawls of civilization.

>>1271454
>or that I know nothing about Moldova
Yes.

It's one of the most densely populated countries in Europe actually.

>>1267995
I was initially planning on going to Iceland this year but bagged it because of the tourism. It's so sad when a beautiful country is ruined by thousands of idiot tourists who have no respect for nature, the last thing I want to do is contribute to it. I still really want to get my hands on some Icelandic sweaters though.

>The middle of the ocean is basically the definition of austerity and isolation.
Funny you mentioned this because I really want to do exactly that.

>>1271532
Just curious, but what business did you do in moldova? I have been there and it felt like the whole country ran on foreignmoney

*sharts pants

A previously undiscovered tropical island, which you have just been shipwrecked upon

The Cook Islands. No joke, a 400-people atoll with the next one being 500 miles away is pretty much all isolation I've ever been able to handle.

My money would go on Patagonia.

>>1271927
How much money do you need to live there?

>>1271845
Project management for a tech company. Specifically I was there to set up a contract to build out some quality automation pipelines - there are some decent engineers and quality assurance professionals in Moldova and Romania, I had worked with several of them at a video game company years before.

I don't do that work anymore but you are correct about the foreign money injection. There were a lot of Germans who moved to Moldova to build businesses with cheap specialized labor. Most are better than what you get from China and India too.
