No matter: with his heavy backpack and his walking sticks, his message forContinue reading “A Nude Revolution Is In The Cards”
Naturist Bed & Breakfast with Winery
When I described my weekend experience to a friend, the response was, “A naturist winery? Two of my favorite things!” I’ll say!

A Naked Assessment
2018 was another great year for me personally as a naturist. Travel: I was able to visit new naturist locales in Spain and in Canada, accompanied by loved ones.
