MEMBER OF THE WEEK: DAVID NICHOLSON
I work as a lawyer. I have found the beach sauna to be a wonderful release at the end of a long day sitting in front of the computer screen. It's a great way to let go of accumulated stress and tension and just reset. I have particularly enjoyed the community aspect of the beach sauna and have often found it a great place to catch up with friends and enjoy a chat. My partner Tomoko and I have also enjoyed trying out saunas whilst travelling overseas. The photo below is the two of us at a traditional sauna at Lake Hāwea in Wanaka, New Zealand. The sauna was very hot and the Lake was extremely cold! The other photo is of me at Minoo Waterfall near Osaka in Japan. Tomoko and I have particularly loved going to some of the beautiful onsen (hot spring baths) in Japan, which are quite a way of life for the Japanese.
