If there’s one thing we learned from diving very deep into the naked world for almost 7 years in a row now, it’s that there’s there’s no one-size-fits-all. Or, as we like to say, there are as many naturisms or nudisms as there are naturists or nudists. The other day, we received a message from a couple who had their first clothes-free experience in Resort X and very much disliked it. It came as … Read more
In last week’s blog post, we talked about a lot of new online tools that are helpful for booking and organising vacations, and about how they are often limiting to us, who like to go to places where clothes are not part of the dress code. We received a lot of responses to this post, confirming how it can be hard to find naturist, nudist, or clothing-optional destinations. Especially for first-timers, finding your way … Read more
Before we started our Naked Wanderings journey, we once took a gap year to go backpacking around Latin America. Thinking back of it now, the way we used to travel couldn’t have been more different than it is today. And not just because we wore clothes at the time. Back in the day, we didn’t have apps or international sim cards. When we arrived at a new destination, we had to figure out how … Read more
Portugal hardly ever makes the charts when it comes to naturist vacations. This has a lot to do with its history. When naturism started booming around Western Europe in the sixties and seventies, Portugal was locked in a dictatorship that completely banned nudity. After democracy returned in the mid-seventies, it would take more than another decade before the first Naturist Law was approved by the government and naturism was legalised. By that time, France, … Read more
A few months ago, we introduced you to Remi and Sandra, who dreamt of creating a brand new naturist campground in Italy. Today, this dream is taking huge leaps towards becoming a reality. There is a name, there is a place, and most of all, there is a unique opportunity for everyone to become part of this. So we asked them for an update. Ciao tutti! A lot has happened since our … Read more
Any vacation is better when you can spend some time without clothes, but a honeymoon is a whole other category. It’s the time to celebrate that the two of you became one YOU, and why on earth would you want to do this with clothes on? It’s often said that spending time naked together creates a special bond. Is that not exactly what you want after the rings have been exchanged? With more than … Read more
We took our first steps into social nudity at a wellness centre. For those of you who are not from Belgium, Germany, or The Netherlands, wellness centres are like water parks for grown-ups. They offer a variety of swimming pools, saunas, hammams, hot tubs, cold tubs, massages, and other things that are meant to give you total relaxation. Nudity is the dress code at these places, for reasons that we’ll get to in a moment. … Read more
What is naturism? It’s one of the questions that popped into our heads when we were watching the sunset one night. We were all alone on an island at the coast of Australia. No phones or computers to distract us. We had snorkelled, sunbathed, and just devoured our one-pan dinner made on our one-pan camping stove. Even though we weren’t at a naturist place, we were naked anyway. There was nobody who could stop … Read more
Is it just us, or do you also immediately think about the Amazon when someone says the word “rainforest”? We often seem to forget that there is more than one rainforest. Like the Daintree in northern Queensland, which is 10 million years older than the Amazon, making this the oldest rainforest in the world. In size, Daintree definitely can’t compete with the Amazon, but it can in biodiversity. In fact, it is home to … Read more
After almost 7 years of continuous travelling to naked places around the world, we think that we’ve seen our fair share of what’s on offer. We’ve been to naked cities in France and Spain, visited the largest naturist domain in the world and the busiest nude beach in the USA, went high-end in the Caribbean, on a naked cruise in Croatia, visited clubs, resorts, and nude beaches in pretty much every continent. The list goes … Read more
