Hiya, wilderness lover!

The boondocks are remote rural areas far out in the wilderness, where Wi-Fi is spotty and the nearest coffee shop is miles away. Sometimes playfully called "the boonies," the term entered English from the Tagalog word for "mountain." Whether it's a peaceful weekend escape or a way of life, the boondocks offer quiet nights and a slower pace of living.
