Creator's Key Takeaways
Camouflage. Yep, that edgy camo hoodie or those cool army print shorts might seem harmless.
An upside down pineapple has become an unofficial signal in the swinger community.
Walking into the buffet soaking wet in a swimsuit. It's not just frowned upon. It can actually get you turned away.
Only pack shoes you've already broken in. If they're uncomfortable at home after 30 minutes, they won't magically get better at sea.
