Helen talks to Sarah Mexico Christenson

Sarah 'Mexico' Christenson is a Florida-based social media content creator who has built a following by normalising nudism online without apology. She and Helen met aboard the Bare Necessities Big Nude Boat 2026 cruise earlier this year and discovered they shared many ideas in common. Sarah talks about how a group holiday to a Tampa nudist resort in 2019 sparked her unexpected epiphany, how leaving corporate life gave her the freedom to take her advocacy public, and how naturism helped her unpack a childhood steeped in purity culture and body shame. Together, Helen and Sarah explore the de-sexualising effect of nudity, the surprising ease of connection in clothes-free spaces, the differences in terminology across the Atlantic, and what it actually feels like to spend eleven days on a boat with two thousand naked strangers ... and love every minute of it.

And if you are interested in joining Helen and Sarah on the BN Ladies Only holiday in Vritomartis in Crete for a week from the 1st June, email Helen at Women in Focus for details.
