#12 Hector Hughes: 'Have you ever spent a weekend without your phone?’

Hector Hughes is the co-founder of Unplugged, a company offering off-grid cabin retreats designed to help people disconnect from digital life and reconnect with nature.

After experiencing burnout in the tech industry, Hector went on a silent repreat in the Himalayas and recognised the need for digital detox solutions. Since its inception in 2020, Unplugged has grown rapidly whilst promoting intentional rest in a hyper-connected world.
