I'd like to go someday to see what it's like. I'm one of those people who always wears a towel tied around my waist like a robe, always covering myself up because I come from a religious family. It would definitely be 5 stars, but it's really striking how many nudists pressure you, saying things like, "Relax," "Let go and feel natural," and so on. But isn't nudism actually optional? I think I've made myself clear. It's fine to practice it, but try not to pressure shy people like me who are more conservative about their bodies.

I participated in a theater workshop in Necochea. I'm entering a talent course. I would like to sing 🎤. I work as a workshop operator at the "Todo para ellos" recycling plant. I'm Marcelo Jensen, 48 years old. I'm an actor, and this is the beginning of my artistic journey. I auditioned for the third season of the Margarita series in 2026. I would love to be the one who won me the Zoom interview again right now. My name is Claudio Garofalo.

Great atmosphere. I went to Playa Chica during the off-season, so I can't imagine what it's like during peak season. But above all, I was respectful and the vibe was fantastic.
