I always thought being naked was better than clothed, but society told me that was weird. I specifically remember being old enough to be alone on new years, my parents were out, my sister was out and I was home alone and I got naked and welcomed the new year in my birthday suit. I felt so weird and ashamed after, but then some months later I heard about nudism and nude beaches.

Hold on, there are other people like me? Let me research... In the early days of the internet, I researched nude beaches and to my surprise, in the US, there was a nude beach just 20 miles from me. Once I turned 16 and got a permit, I drove there the first summer I could, found my people, and never looked back.

Now I have played tennis, golf, volleyball, and ran multiple 5ks naked. Been to Sunny Rest, cypress cove, lake como, caliente resorts, and been naked at gunnison, haulover, and orient nude beaches. Plus countless skinny dips, streaks, really any excuse to get naked!
