Nude Camping & The Stories of a Newfound Nudist (Location: Plakias, Isle of Crete, Greece)

“Never?”

“Uh-uh.”

“Not once?”

“Nope.”

“Okay. So, how about today?”

I smiled.

Where I come from nudity is taboo. It’s labeled as counter-culture; a flower child, a hippie, a youth in the midst of rebellious acts, often a European. Those who dare are easily looked down upon, and just as easily, they’re not. But in all manners, public nudity is universally constrained to a few designated, well fenced-off and signposted locales.

She smiled friskily, sensing my ploy. “That’s right. Not many nude beaches in America.”

Nude Camping & The Nudist
In the foreground with the umbrellas is the nude beach, and under that cypress tree to the far right my tent lies where I come and go. Often waking in the morning, I find a nude couple lounging peacably. They smile. I smile. We're all nude. It's all good.
