Burning Man is known as the festival lover's festival and it has developed a bit of a reputation since its launch more than 30 years ago. Dubbed the ultimate hippy event by fans and critics, each year thousands of people head to Black Rock Desert in Nevada, US, to 'baptise themselves in dust' and join in the frivolities.
It's a very communal event where money is useless and 'what you take you give back', as goods can be traded for nothing more than a hug or a fistbump, and each festival goer must provide something that's wanted by other attendees. But besides the music stages, there's a range of activities for the more free-spirited - including the ' Orgy Dome ', a 'BDSM dungeon', and a 'human car wash'.
