Remote Destinations around the World

A serial entrepreneur, Jonathan David has been creating and building businesses since the age of 18. Currently leading Tapstone Holdings, LLC, as CEO, he is responsible for developing the company’s overall strategy and overseeing its daily operations. When he’s not busy running Tapstone Holdings, Jonathan “Jon” David enjoys traveling to remote destinations.

Visiting remote destinations gives travelers a break from modern luxuries while exposing them to sights largely untouched by tourists. Here are a few of the world’s most intriguing remote locations:

- Sakhalin Island: Located off the eastern coast of Russia, Sakhalin Island is largely uninhabited. The island, which has only been open to visitors since 1990, is populated by the Nivkh people, who enjoy sharing their traditions and customs with visitors.

- Deception Island: For those travelers who can brave the cold air, Deception Island in Antarctica is an active volcano’s semi-submerged caldera. It has been a safe harbor for several years and features geothermally heated water, an old whaling station, and the continent’s largest cemetery.

- Urumqi: Although this city in China is served by several airlines, it is regarded as one of the more remote cities in the country. Urumqi rests more than 1,500 miles from the nearest coast and is a great spot for horseback riding, hiking, and enjoying the Alps-like views.
