Naked Travel Plane Reader
Naked Travel! Things to do without clothes
A GoNOMAD ebook for travelers who truly want to travel light. Have you ever wanted to check out a nude beach, or even spend a weekend at a clothing optional inn or a nudist resort? GoNOMAD's writers have done it all, and in this new ebook we share many details and tips on getting out of your clothes and enjoying life around the world in your birthday suit. It's not about sex, it's about freedom, and today's naturists are law abiding citizens just out to have fun.
We begin with an essay profiling a nudist resort in the California desert called DeAnza Springs. We meet many men and women there who have chosen a nudist lifestyle and look forward to each weekend when they come out to the desert and strip off their clothes and their cares, and hang out with fellow nudists. We go hiking in the nude in Washington 's Cascade Mountains, and find a cute country inn nestled in Vermont's Green Mountains where nobody has to wear a stitch of clothing. At night they dance naked in front of a roaring fire.
The chapters also include a visit to Sandy Hook, New Jersey's famous nude beach near New York City, and Haulover Beach, which some consider the country's finest nude beach, located near Miami Florida. The top ten nude beaches in the world are reviewed, along with updated detailed guides to the United State's best nude beaches. The book includes a directory of every clothing optional resort in the US and contact information for anyone who might be interested in the nudist lifestyle.
