Texas is home to a very eclectic group of people, that's why Texas is a great state with so many different people and walks of life.  Texas's geography is also great from flat lands, to hills to beaches, this state is perfect for anyone.

A few years ago, I shared an article about the best nudist camps in Texas.   I researched places in Texas that were clothing-optional and shared a few details, locations, etc.

However, after the article was published, I received emails from different people that live a naturist lifestyle, some were polite, and others were downright angry because some of the terms I used and the places I shared.  It was offensive to some who opt out of wearing clothing.

One email was from Ronna Krozy, the Public Relations Chair of the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR).  I spent some time talking with her and learning about the nudist/naturist lifestyle.  I wrote a follow-up article sharing the things I learned.

About a year later, I received a phone call from Ronna asking for my address, and a few weeks later I received an award from the AANR for the article.
