‘Do Nothing at Nowhere’: Stay in an Off-the-Grid Former Fisherman’s Shack in Tasmania

September 18, 2024

Check, check, check, check, and check. For your consideration, Camp Nowhere, an off-the-grid former fisherman’s shack in Tasmania with the winning motto: “Do nothing at nowhere.” (P.S. We’re calling it: Tasmania is the next travel hotspot.)
