“Create a traveling nudist resort: Prepare your vehicle so you can travel nude without concern for getting ‘caught’.  Install window and seat coverings, and wear easy to slip on and off clothing when necessary.  Then you can strip down with your traveling companions, drive naked to see local attractions, stop to eat a picnic and take a walk nude, take photos of you and your naked friends standing by a road sign, talk, laugh, and just have some good naked fun in your own car or truck." - Kenfreehiker

“Thinking about nude employment definitely makes me more creative and open to different options.  It’s time I to get serious about making a living nude.  Or perhaps, as I get older, nude part time employment, or even nude retirement.” – Ken

“Square dancing is easy so long as your partner knows what he is doing. . . The four naked men stepped into the center and walked in a circle with their right arms outstretched.  The ladies stepped forward to catch their left palms, and soon the whole group was revolving on an axis.” – Jamie Lauren Keiles, https://www.racked.com/2017/7/25/16005206/nudist-retreat-naturist-society

“I personally feel that the only way naturism will gain general acceptance is if non-naturists have more opportunities to see it and get used to it.  And that means more mixed venues.  I know we worry about losing hard-won nude and C/O beaches due to an influx of textiles.  The solution however is not segregation and isolation, but to develop an army of textiles supportive of the option to be nude, textiles willing to speak up in support when some individual complains, textiles willing to tell a complainer to cool it and be tolerant, textiles ready to vote against intolerant regulations and instead be willing to discuss mutually agreeable modi operandi.  The change is not just for textiles.  We naturists need to be more open, to seek actively and publicly more officially sanctioned C/O spaces, to talk to our neighbors about things like backyard nudity, to be naturist role models that supportive textiles can point out, to sincerely not be bothered if we are seen nude by some colleague, acquaintance, friend or unknown invitee, to engage intolerant people in a patient and friendly way, to work to revise intolerant regulations.  We're simply not going to get textiles to recognize the distinction between ‘indecent exposure’ and ‘decent exposure’ unless they've seen the difference themselves.  We have a wonderful set of values to advocate, that are in tune with mainstream themes like gender-equality, ecology. tolerance and mutual respect.  It is time to let these out the gates of a hidden ‘lifestyle’.  It may seem more comfortable to be safe among certified like-minded naturists, but in the long run we need expand our naturist community to include actively-tolerant textile friends who share our values even if they don't shed their clothes.” - Adge
