Hi Travelers,
One of the latest vacation trends comes in the form of “surprise travel.” This is where a travel professional, or your travel partner, plans your vacation where the destination is a surprise until the day you depart. It encourages spontaneity, the spirit of adventurousness and a stepping out of one’s comfort zone.
One recommended form of surprise travel is the Nakation℠ vacation. It’s great for those looking to unplug from cell phones and social media and reconnect with one’s inner persona amid natural surroundings.
A Nakation is a visit to a clothes-free resort, RV park, club or campground affiliated with the American Association for Nude Recreation. Hint: If you are not wearing any clothes then you have nowhere to put your cell phone. And the accommodations are as varied as the destinations. Cabins, hotels, inns, campgrounds, RVs even teepees!
As a reminder from previous posts, a Nakation is also a form of transformational travel where a person takes a journey to appreciate oneself (and others) in a new light and enact a personal transformation. for instance, push yourself to be happier, less stressed, less judgmental, more spontaneous…you name it. Sky's the limit!
Besides body acceptance and personal freedom, non-sexualized nude recreation and Nakationing achieves added relaxation, self-respect, stress-reduction, and acceptance of others for who they are.
When the clothes are shed, so too are the stresses of everyday life. No one at a nudist resort judges others based on their exterior, not whether they are blue collar or white collar, for there's no collar shown. And you'll meet folks from all walks of life, from across the country, with varied interests and backgrounds.
And there’s lots of outdoor recreation to be enjoyed. While swimming and tennis are most often associated with naturism, many clubs offer a variety of leisure activities to accommodate the interest of nudists young and old, active, or passive.
Swimming pools and lakes are sure to be amenities, but visit an AANR club and you’re bound to also find volleyball, pickleball, badminton, bocce ball, shuffleboard, hiking/nature trails, fishing, boating, full-scale exercise rooms, basketball courts, croquet, table tennis, spas and even 9-hole golf courses.
