In a modern world...

In a modern world, can one find sanctuary? If so where?
According to the short story Metamorphosis I think it is very difficult to find sanctuary. In the story we see Gregor find sanctuary in his room but as a result he is constantly by himself. The sanctuary that he is in, is only because he is different from everyone else; no one wants to have any kind of interaction with him. Because of this he leads a poor existence. To answer the question one can find sanctuary but in doing so they must give up much of their existence.
