Mass access to teleportation would be cool, but at the same time it would suck. Those remote exotic locations would lose their charm if they were easy to get to and millions of people around the world decided they wanted to go there. I can picture the peak of Mount Everest having a Planet Hollywood on it with an oxygen bar.
The only way you would be able to find a place where you could get away from it all would be if you chose a barren inhospitable location, like the middle of a flat desert in Nevada.
Things like the "suburbs" and "country" would cease to have meaning if you can instantaneously commute from anywhere. Population density would become evenly distributed instead of being centered around cities. Put another way, there would no longer be rural areas, it would all be one big suburb.
