How 10 Hours with No Wi-Fi Drove Me Crazy, then Set Me Free

GQ columnist Chris Black finds himself on a plane without Wi-Fi and begins to reconsider his long-term relationship with the internet. How extremely online do we really need to be? Many believe that what we do on the internet ties to our identity, and how productive we are. Black’s experience without the internet made us think: Do we need to balance our online and offline lives better? Are we relying too much on being connected all the time? Is this constant need to be online taking away from other important parts of our lives?

Everything You Need to Know About Thai Food

We love Thai food! We especially love its bold flavors. This sentiment was also echoed by the late chef, author and intrepid traveler Anthony Bourdain. When tasting Thai cooking for the first time, he remarked: “It was like discovering a colour I never knew existed before. A whole new crayon box full of colours.”

We adapted and abridged two articles by TheWingedFork.com that answer what Thai food is all about. Our hope is that it awakens your senses to the colorful world of Thai flavors…

How to Make Digital Detox Part of Your Vacation

Feeling tugged by social media, emails, and the vibrations of digital devices? These days, it can be challenging to live “in the moment.” It’s ironic that we’re talking about digital detox on the internet, but that’s just how it is nowadays: even digital detoxing has to begin digitally. When left unchecked, tech fatigue can insidiously affect our health. It’s even more important to go off the grid when we’re on vacation. Check out this article by TripConcierge.co about combining digital detox with your holidays. “In an age of speed, I began to think, nothing could be more invigorating than going slow,” travel writer Pico Iyer writes in his book The Art of Stillness.

Actual Traveler Pics – Our Trip to Paradise

We just ran a trip in Paradise. It was, in fact, our first Naked Villa trip – we call it “The Naked Paradise Villa”. It was fabulous: exciting, sensual, full of variety, fun – and nude. At the end of the week-long experience, we asked our travelers, “What were some of your personal highlights?” Here’s what some of the guys told us…

– Taking part in a purification ritual under the waterfall –

– Rafting down the jungle river –

– Going up the mountain in a 4-wheel drive open vehicle, for the sunrise over the crater lake –

– Experiencing the multi-course tasting menu, at the underwater restaurant –

– The craft classes – making silver jewelry, and carving dicks from wood –

We always respect photo preferences, so you won’t see all the guys from it here. And also, some things that happened just can’t be shown on this blog. Still, we think you’ll get an idea of some of the fun we had. Enjoy this pictorial spread of The Naked Paradise Villa.

Which Queer Sea Creature Are You?

In the 1990s, marine biologists finally broke through observer bias and societal hush-hush, and came out about what’s really going on under the sea. From little Nemo the clownfish to Free Willy the orca, several species have been observed flipping genders and flopping around with the same sex. These “sea queer-tures” are the real ones making waves with copulation, mutual masturbation, gang banging, courtship, and cuddle time. Things really are better and wetter under the sea.

These are our top 3 favorite sea queer-tures that can all be found in the Coral Triangle – where we run our sailing trips.
