Justin Walter - Your Bucket List Guide is with Carson Zone and Justin Walter at Zipolite Oaxaca.

2 weeks ago

Welcome to Zipolite — Mexico’s first and only legal nude beach town 🇲🇽 One of my new favorite places to travel free (in every sense of the word).This off-the-beaten-path destination welcomes visitors with a long, wild stretch of beach, barefoot cobblestone streets, and an adorable little town. Add in an incredibly LGBTQ+ friendly, expressive, come-as-you-are energy, and it’s easy to see why people fall in love with this place.What I love most about nude beaches and resorts around the world is how effortlessly travel turns strangers into friends—whether you arrive solo or with a group. It’s ironic how when clothing becomes optional, the barriers often come down too.If you’re curious, check out my past Orbitz article (last slide), where I debunk some of the biggest myths about nude beaches and what these destinations are really like.Would you visit a destination like this? ...

Justin Walter - Your Bucket List Guide is in Illinois.

3 weeks ago

Home for the holidays, but still traveling 🎄Proof you don’t have to go far to feel like you’re on a trip.Spent the day bopping around @westmontchamber, Illinois—an adorable small town near where I grew up—treating my hometown like a destination, with my parents as my travel companions.Candle making, bowling, spa moments, a homemade Sicilian meal, and pit-smoked BBQ—all from the sweetest family-owned small businesses. A reminder that traveling like a local sometimes means going back to where it all started.#HomeForTheHolidays #TravelLikeALocal #HometownAdventures #WestmontIL #FamilyMemories ... See MoreSee Less
