Mar 13th, 2009 at 2:00PM: You'll do anything for a free flight, right? You'll stand at the counter and yell and scream at some gate agent for half an hour while a line that stretches back to the next terminal wait with looks of increasing contempt. You'll get up in the middle of the night to enter every online contest you can find first. But, would you strip to your skin – in the company of 998 other non-professional ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Sep 7th, 2008 at 11:00AM: There are some people who are determined to not wear clothes in the great outdoors. There are the people who do naked rock climbing, people who hang out on a nude beach (or play volleyball in the buff on a beach like those I saw once in Greece), people who sky dive nude, dance in the nude, go on cruises in the nude, and, like this German guy I read about, people who prefer to hike in nothing but a ...Galley Gossip: Naked on a plane - everything you ever wanted to know, and more...
Jul 22nd, 2008 at 10:30AM:
I can't remember the precise destination we were working, but what I do remember was the shocked look on my coworkers face when he came running up to the first class galley and exclaimed, "There's a naked woman in coach!"
"What!" two of us cried in unison.
Needless to say, the breakfast service was now on hold. How could we serve bagels when there was a nekkid lady aboard the flight? Into ...Passenger strips nude, tries to open an emergency exit door mid-flight
Jul 19th, 2008 at 1:30PM: It seems that we have been averaging about one crazy passenger a week lately. And those are just the ones who make it into the press! You typically read about the in-flight drunkards, angry folks, and people with out-of-control children. But I can't remember the last time we had a 'misbehaving nudist' story. The AP reports that an American Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles was diverted to ...Climbing Everest Naked

Oct 11th, 2007 at 7:41AM: It sounds like something I'd be dumb enough to try; scale the top of Everest and strip naked at 29,000 feet to celebrate.
Damn it if someone has already beaten me to it.
Last year a Nepali climber did just that. While it sent some chuckles through the climbing community, others weren't so amused. Everest is, after all, the holiest mountain in the country and local Nepalese were shocked at the ...Glacial Shrinkage: Taking one for the Environment
_thumbnail.jpg)
Aug 18th, 2007 at 3:07PM: What do glaciers and shrinkage have in common?
Two things when you combine glaciers with global warming and naked bodies.
Photographer Spencer Tunick, who has been making quite a name for himself by taking pictures of mass nudes, has recently turned his lens towards a good cause: global warming.
The photographer, who never seems to have a problem drumming up nude models, enlisted the help of ...One for the Road: The Naked Tourist
Jun 30th, 2007 at 10:18AM: I read Lawrence Osborne's The Naked Tourist last year when it was released. I noticed that it's now out in paperback -- just in time for you to throw in the summer beach bag! And since we have not mentioned it yet here at Gadling...no better time than now: Subtitled, In Search of Adventure And Beauty in the Age of the Airport Mall, the book is a fascinating read, although dry at certain points. ...Best Nude Beaches
Jun 22nd, 2007 at 8:30AM: I visited one nude beach, once. Cape Town's secluded Sandy Bay is a wind-protected cove that our friend told us was great for letting it all hang out. After spending a few days at the gorgeous, trendy, topless-friendly (but ridiculously overcrowded) Clifton Beach, we decided to mix things up and head farther afield. Sandy Bay was, as promised, remote, quiet, and pristine. It was also filled with ...Do You Feel A Breeze? Yup, We're Skydiving In the Nude.
Jun 19th, 2007 at 5:46PM: Unless your goal is to get others to laugh at you, I can't possibly imagine what thrill there could be in nude skydiving. Nevertheless, there appear to be a number of people who are not only into nude skydiving, they actually promote it by posting videos of it online. This short clip is my favorite: there's a very funny thing going on it that red circle. Although the video probably won't get you ...
Naked Sightseeing Not Cool in Germany
Jun 4th, 2007 at 9:27AM: Though everyone knows Germans love getting naked in public, when an American visiting Germany recently stripped to the buff and began traipsing throughout the city, local officials got angry. "We have been having unusually hot weather here lately but, all the same, we can't have this," a spokesman for police said. (Ha ha, he said "butt.")
According to the unnamed 41-year-old traveler, he thought ...Naked Bungy Jumping Gives New Meaning to Term "Free Fall"
Apr 20th, 2007 at 1:20PM: Oops, looks like we missed this one for 2007, but that gives you plenty of time to make it to Vancouver Island, Canada in time for Wild Play's 2008 Naked Bungy Jumping event. Claiming it's a "very old and established tradition," Wild Play only allows naked Bungy Jumps one weekend every February to raise money for the BC Schizophrenia Society. The registration fee for naked bungy jumpers is ...Couple Falls off Cruise Ship, Strips Naked as "Survival Tactic"
Apr 6th, 2007 at 2:12PM: Recently, we mentioned that it was, relatively speaking, rather difficult to fall overboard while on a cruise ship. Hmm... try telling that to the young couple who recently plunged 50 feet off the side of a Grand Princess cruiseliner.
The unmarried couple -- both in their 20s -- fell over the 4-foot-high railing into the Gulf of Mexico. Surviving four hours in "shark-infested waters," the couple ...World Naked Bike Ride Day, 2007
Mar 28th, 2007 at 2:35PM: Giving new meaning to "underground" railroad bicycle route, on March 10th, organizers staged a World Naked Bike Ride to protest against oil dependency and car culture. Missed it? Me, too. Don't fret, though. There are more to come.
On June 9th and 30th, the organizers are staging additional WNBRs all over the world to continue their protests against indecent exposure to automobile emissions and ...What About the Virgins?
May 21st, 2006 at 8:25PM: Karen's recent post on the eruptions of Mount Merapi in Indonesia, which has been rumbling for weeks and throwing off lava streams and gas clouds, the locals there are trying a unique tact to placate the gods in the mountain. They are going naked. Now, I remember the good old days when all you needed to satisfy the gods was a virgin or two. Not today. It seems the gods swing both ways. ...
