The Naked Traveler: Tweet Dreams are made of This


'Jumping into the ocean in Tenerife . Yes I like swimming naked but I also like tan lines.'

I love images that stimulate, both my visual senses  as well as my imagination.  I also love imagery that makes me dream.  Sure, some of the dreams are about the hot men pictured, but many of the dreams expand beyond the male form.  So many images arouse my creative juices and have me wanting to once again pick up a camera.   Many have me dreaming of concepts that I'd love to create and shoot.

Some of my favorite images have me dreaming of travel, and visiting the many places on my long list of dream destinations.  Although I traveled extensively when I was in my teens and twenties, my trips came to a stand still when I started working full time. I think many of my friends are tired of listening to me talk about travel, I've been taking and dreaming of a long European vacation for years now.

For one reason or another, the pandemic included, I keep putting it off.  I am however, back in the planning stages.  I'm starting with renewing my passport.  My list of destinations is long, but usually begins in the UK.

Last month, I was fortunate to discover the Twitter account of the Naked Traveler.  NT describes himself simply as a guy who travels who on occasion loves to take his clothes off outside.  When I first discovered his page, I immediately started to dream and my desire to travel was once again, intensely sparked.

Most of the images were shot in Europe and Africa and so many of the places captured the NT's images are places I want to visit.  I also love discovering new places, some I'd heard of, but knew little about, some I wasn't familiar with at all. I loved that a few of these images had me Googling, and the locations, ( especially Levanzo and Guadeloupe ) are now added to my long li

In addition to the NT's beautiful body, and incredibly hot tan lines, I was drawn to incredible detail and colors in his images.   Whenever people travel to tropical designations they often comment on the colors.   'The water is so blue' is heard from many people on their first day on vacation.  The blues and the greens the NT captured are stunning and not only captured the locations, but brought them to life.

I could almost hear the ocean rushing in and feel the peace and tranquility of the islands visited. When I asked the NT about featuring his imagery, I was surprised that he wasn't sure they were good enough to share.  These images had me absorbed in every detail and dreaming of visiting each location.  They also had me  looking forward to seeing where he journey's to next.
