Hi from Zagreb!

The first Saturday of May marks the celebration of World Naked Gardening Day, which is an occasion to nurture your vegetables, fruits, and flowers without clothes.

Knowing that my family wouldn’t be stripping into birthday suits, I spent the day preparing a birthday cake for my Mom, a raw deliciousness made of nearly a kilogram of nuts, some dates, currants, and blueberries. Patched my own recipe, and was proud about how it turned out. It was rather caloric, but we only unbuttoned our trousers. Happy 74, dear Mom!

While our family celebrated indoors, I can understand the therapeutic effects adventure-prone spirits feel when they explore nature without the burden of clothes. Whether it’s naked hiking in Australia or enjoying summers on nude beaches in Greece, we can reconnect with our planet and improve our wellbeing by simply stripping.

So, I have a prescription for you this summer! If you happen to visit Croatia, I recommend you discover either the island of Rab, where Kandarola Beach represents an important historical reference for the European naturism movement, or head to Central Dalmatia, where you can explore the FKK beaches of Makarska Riviera – prepare your itinerary by consulting this detailed guide!

If you’re a person of visuals rather than words, I have also published a short drone video that displays aerial shots of this coastal beauty stretching under the Biokovo Nature Park.

Now, I’m heading back to my seasonal job hunting. And all of this reminded me that I saw an ad for an Operations Officer in an FKK camp. Well, keeping my options open…

Have an open-minded week,

Ivan Kralj
