Oh the Places We'll Go. . .

Lee is a multi-faceted man of mystery and many know of him, but few truly “know” him.  When not onboard, Lee has a massage practice in Santa Cruz, California and values his fierce independence and unique, alternative lifestyle.  A veteran of numerous Human Awareness Institute workshops, Lee challenges himself and others to be transparently honest and authentic.  Often found enjoying his morning coffee or indulging his inner nerd on the computer following the stock market, Lee’s personality, goals and interests are as diverse as the company he keeps. Busy making friends and creating community in Santa Cruz, Lee enjoys weekly beach volleyball games, riding his mountain or road bicycle and lounging with friends at a local nude beach.

Lee’s first cruise with Bare Necessities was in February of 1994 on the Crown Dynasty when he was lucky enough to secure a place on the general staff as a replacement for his brother.  After completing massage certification in California a couple of years later and growing his hair halfway down his back, (who remembers that?), Lee was added to the popular massage staff in 1998 and then took on the role of head massage therapist starting with the Millennium cruise.  He hasn’t missed a cruise since.  A nudist since adolescence, loving the art of massage and enjoying travel, this really is a dream job for Lee.  Grateful for and gratified by the wonderfully loving friendships that have flourished through his connection with Bare Necessities in the last 14 years, Lee says “I have developed a second family through Bare Necessities and we get to have reunions in exotic places around the world and it’s all clothing optional.  How lucky are we?”
