Two Gay Expats

It's my birthday (suit)!

I hope you guys don't mind, but I saved the last photo in this series (without my hand!) to post today 😉

Here's to 44! 🥳🍾🥂🙌

Tom's Leather Bar, CDMX

For the ultimate bold and unapologetic night out, head to Tom’s Leather Bar in Mexico City. Just steps from the heart of Zona Rosa, this iconic spot is famed for its dark, edgy vibe, themed nights, and adventurous crowd. Spread across multiple floors with a cruising area, it’s the ideal place to dance, mingle, and explore...

The Imperial, Sydney

✨ Step inside the iconic world of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert! The Imperial Hotel in Sydney isn’t just a bar—it’s a glittering sanctuary of drag, dance, and LGBTQ+ history. This legendary spot, featured in the opening scenes of the beloved film, serves up unforgettable drag performances, vibrant cockt...

Bardo Hotel, Tulum [NSFW]

After our recent post about Una Vida Tulum, we didn't want to leave you hanging for sister property Bardo! If it's in your budget, this is our favorite hotel in town. And if we have to put clothes on in public spaces, Bardo has our favorite pool as well. It's absolutely massive and has the perfect Tulum jungle vibes...

Less is more when it’s your day! 🥳

Unwrapped and loving it—cheers to another trip around the sun!

In honor of Andy's birthday yesterday, we had to share a pic of him in his favorite suit. Do you recognize the scene? Hint: the movie was mainly filmed in Trai's hometown with an annual shrimp festival 🦐

Una Vida, Tulum

Another one of our favorite hotels in Tulum, Mexico. We love the sexy, lush jungle vibe. It's also located right next door to our house, Casa Cangrejo, so we stayed at this property numerous times during our construction phase.

Today, we regularly use the hotel as overflow for guests. In addition to relatively affordabl...

Marshall's Beach, San Francisco

If you're looking for a secluded and scenic spot to soak up the California sun—no bathing suit required—Marshall's Beach in San Francisco is a must-visit. Nestled beneath the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, this gay nudist beach offers stunning views of the bridge and the Pacific Ocean. It's the perfect place to strip down, re...

Lucky Horseshoe, Chicago

One of our favorite gay bars in Boystown, affectionately called the "shoe," offers adult all male entertainment with nightly events like stripper bingo, shower contests, and "Sketchy Saturdays" drink and draw. They recently added a Sunday funday event called "Feeling Lucky?" with go-go dancers, clothes check, dark room and no...

Diego's, Rehoboth Beach

While much of the gay scene is "mixed" in Rehomo—meaning gays and straights enjoy the same venues—Diego's Bar & Nightclub is decidedly different. It's also the friskier of the gay bars, especially late night on weekends where everyone seems to end up. The one exception is the popular Sunday T-Dance which kicks off muc...

Obelisk Beach, Sydney

Known as the friskiest of Sydney's gay nude beaches, Obelisk is a must-visit on any trip down under. It's also typically men-only unlike Lady Jane, another nudist beach on the opposite side of Sydney Harbour, which is decidedly mixed. Lady Jane is also more exposed to the public given its location along a busy walking path. <...

How we met?

It's hard to believe that next month marks 6 years together! We met back in 2018 when I (Trai) quit my finance and accounting job in London to travel the world. I climbed Kilimanjaro in Africa and hiked the Camino de Santiago in Spain before returning to the U.S.

While visiting a friend in San Francisco, a hike through...

Captain's Orders: Clothes off, adventure on!

All hands on deck! Weekend ahead!

With summer coming to a close, we've been busy planning plenty of warm weather destinations for next year's travels. We had our hearts set on our first gay cruise in 2025, and we were rapidly clicking away on our laptops the moment THE CRUISE powered by Brussels-based LA DEMENCE went o...

Island House, Key West

Located at the end of "Gay Guesthouse Row" on Fleming Street, Island House, Key West, is often touted as the "World's Best Gay Resort."

Since 1976, the legendary resort has been welcoming gay men to this tropical paradise. Early residents named Key West "Cayo Hueso," which translates from Spanish to "Island of the Bone...

Pool boy to the rescue—making Hump Day a breeze! 🏖️

From deep end to weekend, who's ready for a pool party? No clothes allowed!

When people ask us why we chose Tulum over super gay Puerto Vallarta, it always comes down to being able to buy a house where we can run around nkd for less than a condo in PV... and the fact that Tulum has of the most beautiful beaches on the p...

Zandvoort—Amsterdam's Gay Nude Beach

Whether you're looking to unwind, connect with like-minded people, or enjoy the scenic coastal vibes, Zandvoort is the perfect city escape. What sets Zandvoort apart is its ideal balance of natural beauty and inclusive culture where visitors can fully be themselves while enjoying the sun, sea, and sand. Like most of the ...

Kruger Shalati, South Africa [NSFW]

Perhaps one of our favorite hotel stays and silliest photo shoots! Kruger Shalati, known as the train on the bridge hotel, is a one-of-a-kind adventure in South Africa's famed Kruger National Park.

Located on the Selati Bridge suspended high above the Sabie River, Kruger Shalati pays homage to its rich history. The trai...

Amsterdam Pride - Canal Parade, Street Festivals & Events

As a compliment to this week's YouTube video, we're excited to share our highlights of Amsterdam Pride. Sponsored by Eagle, Crash aka Fetish at Pride was our favorite of the street festivals. The performances were wild, including sexy dancers, incredible music, and mind blowing fetish displays. The crowd was super diverse and...

Wednesday escape: Tenerife, naturally uncovered 🍑

Hump Day never looked so good—black sand and bare skin in the Canary Islands!

While the nearby island of Gran Canaria is known as one of the best gay travel destinations in Europe, Tenerife also has plenty to offer the gay traveler, especially when it comes to nude beaches. One of the most unique is Playa de las Gavi...

Casa Nudista, Zipolite

If you watched our latest YouTube video highlighting the best gay nude hotels in Mexico, you know Casa Nudista is our favorite in Zipolite. We love that it's nudist mandatory and not just clothing optional. We find the atmosphere friendly, respectful and safe. It's an environment where everyone is equal. There’s no pretense...

Midweek Magic in the South Pacific 🌊

Sailing through Hump Day like a breeze in Tahiti!

My (Trai) nudism journey began back in 2018 when I was sitting at my desk in dreary London dreaming of an escape from the corporate world. I called my good friend in Brisbane, Australia, and asked if he would do a nude cruise with me and 8 other gay men sailing around t...

Monday Blues

A few more of our favorite nkd pics and videos from the rooftop pool at Loba Tulum to start your week! The entire property is clothing optional and the two plunge pools are open 24-7. After events like the weekly after beach parties or the monthly nkd full moon dinner, everyone ends up skinny dipping up here. It's always a go...

Loba Tulum

We love staying at this clothing optional gay men-only boutique hotel in Tulum. When our house is booked on Airbnb, we often stay at Loba. We also enjoy the weekly and monthly gay events from nude dinners to massage circles to after beach pool parties. The affable and sexy hotel manager Gustavo and his team curate wonderful e...

Coffee anyone? ☕

Midweek coffee break to recharge and refocus. How do you take your coffee? ☕ 🐫 #HumpDayBoost #CoffeeLovers

Jet's Nude Beach, Puerto Vallarta

To access the only gay nude beach in PV, join one of Jet's infamous weekend boat trips. They conveniently depart from the Los Muertos Pier in the Romantic Zone after an easy check-in at La ChaChaLaca gay bar.

Multiple panga boats of men race to the secluded beach where everyone, including the sexy crew, strip down. Enj...

Hump Day Hittin' Different 💦

Just a little something to brighten your midweek! Nature in all its glory!

Fun fact: This is the uncensored thumbnail pic used in our first successful YouTube video. Do you know the location?

Club Church, Amsterdam

In honor of Amsterdam Pride this week, it only seems fitting that we highlight our favorite gay club... and not just any gay club. Of all the naturist bars and clubs in Amsterdam—and there are MANY—Club Church takes the proverbial cake and EVERYTHING to a whole new level. It's Amsterdam's most famous gay club after all an...

Gay Paris: Best Gay Bars & Clubs (original unedited)

We had to change this video to unlisted, so it's now an exclusive for our Patreon subscribers! The sexy shower scene, naturist gay bar, and cruise-y bathroom footage perhaps pushed the envelope a bit too much for public consumption 😂

World Nkd Bike Ride Montreal

"Less gas, more ass" is the rallying cry of the nude cyclists on this annual protest ride. To be fair, we thought it was just for fun and to promote nudism! We were enjoying a fantastic brunch at gay-owned Dandy in Old Montreal when we found out about the event. If we had more time to organize a bike, we would have 100% joine...

Hotel Ritual, Torremolinos

The last picture in this series from the nkd rooftop at Hotel Ritual got our Torremolinos YouTube video banned! It was also the catalyst to create our Patreon! We also had the same issue with Instagram for a peach covering Andy's butt at Playa del Muerto in Sitges. You can see that pic in all its glory over in our Sitges Coll...

How did we get into nudism?

This is a great question! We kind of fell into nudism organically, and it's become more front and center for us over the years given the positive experiences we continue to have when naked.

Looking back to when we first met in San Francisco, we hiked to Baker Beach as a day date pretty early on in our relationship. The...
