*I want joyful togetherness, anarchy, epicurean ideas, multifaceted joy, sensuality, diversion, friendship, justice, tolerance, freedom, sexual freedom, sustainability, peace, free access to information, the arts, a cosmopolitan existence, and a world without borders or discrimination, and everything else that is wonderful but not a reality today.*

~The Hedonist Manifesto

I'm a Chemist in a graduate Environmental Engineering program, realizing more and more every day that fulfilling this desire means not a life full of wealth and material things, but a life of getting as close to the earth and community as I possibly can. I currently have several backyard chickens, volunteer with a local co-op and am trying to turn my brown thumb green.

I have always had the attitude for nudism and over the past 4+ years with my partner have had the opportunity to explore my personal boundaries therein. We have frequently hosted clothing-optional hot tub parties and attended similar events at friends' houses, and vacation each summer at Hedonism resport in Jamaica for an opportunity to spend an entire week on the beach clothing-free.

At the core of my self I have a very low tolerance for children. This, along with my very limited student income and things I have heard and read that do not inspire me to visit, has kept me from exploring the landed AANR clubs. Because my partner will be moving back to Atlanta, I will likely not participate in club activities but am more than happy to attend parties, etc at private locations.

I am a Hedonist at heart, open to play with the right person/people but not identifying in the least with the Swinger community. This said, I have an extremely heightened sensitivity to personal boundaries. I have zero tolerance for anyone, man or woman, overstepping anyone else's comfort level. I acknowledge and highly respect that a person's boundaries may change over the course of a day or in a span of a few minutes, and that is still to be respected by others. Respect and trust are truly the core of any nudist community.
