Visiting Senior Travel Writer PJW, Las Vegas NV: Manila is the beautiful capital city of the Philippines, with historic architecture, parks, restaurants, friendly people and many other attractions. However, while tourism flourishes in Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore, Manila is still virtually ignored by American and other world travelers.

During my World War II Navy time, I spent a year in Manila back in 1945. As the 70th anniversary of the end of the war in the Pacific is celebrated, the city should attract its fair share of American visitors.

The 2012 movie, “Wanderlust”, starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Paul Rudd, may have stirred up renewed interest in nudism. The story is about a couple fed up with the cold, uptight New York social scene, and they join a hip nudist colony in the relaxed, sunny South.

For seniors who may want to emulate the movie couple and experience life in the all-together, consider the bare facts about these naturist locations:

Sea Mountain Ranch Resort and Spa, 66540 San Marcos Road, Palm Springs CA 92240, 877-928-2827, www.seamountaininn.com. From $250 per night. With hot daytime desert temperatures all year round, being nude here is the way to go. It’s very intimate, with adults-only visitors limited to 100 during sunlight, and only 15 rooms for overnighters. There are many activities, including pilate exercises, whirlpool, massage, swimming, volleyball and social dancing.

Cypress Cove Nudist Resort and Spa, 4425 Pleasant Hill Road, Kissimmee, Florida, 34746, 407-933-5870, www.cypresscoveresort.com. Rate from $79 a night, also weekly and monthly villa and RV accommodations. If you think Walt Disney World is the happiest place on Earth, you’ve never been to this bare-it-all paradise just down the highway.

If you’re an uptight senior visiting Berlin, and demand the usual uncool hotel accommodations, these aren’t for you. However, if you still remember your student days, when you prefer fun over fastidiousness, consider four fabulous Berlin accommodations.

Another advantage is that when you check in, you may be surrounded by young backpackers. If mingling with them doesn’t bring back fond memories of your wild youth, nothing can.

Pension Funk, Fasanenstrasse 69, Kurfürstendamm, +49 30 882 7193, hotel-pensionfunk.de, from $80 includes breakfast. The name fits perfectly. This ornate hotel was built 90 years ago as a retreat and secret love nest for Europe’s trendiest Berlin cafe artists and silent film stars.
