    It's so nice to swim naked in a wild lake. The top of the top: hicking naked. Nothing is more freeing. Everybody (I should write every body) should try it.

    Hello Alexandra.
    I’m surprised you don’t have more comments for this wonderful video. The whole video is only grace and delicacy. It reminded me of my childhood when we went swimming in the river or lake in my area. The water is cold at first but as you say, there is something liberating in wild swimming. You always put a lot of poetry in your relationship with nature and in life, the simplest moments are the most intense.
    Stayed healthy
