Florida’s Tampa area is often nicknamed “the nudist capital of the USA”. There are several nudist resorts, clubs, and residential areas pretty much within walking distance, or golf cart distance if you wish, from each other. One of them is Florida’s oldest naturist resort, the lovely Lake Como. How to get to Lake Como If you’re flying in, the nearest airport to the resort is Tampa International Airport, which has plenty of connections … Read more
Once upon a time, The United States was known as “The land of freedom”. The place where everything was possible. A refuge for 19th-century Europeans who felt suffocated or persecuted in their home countries and dreamt of a better life. Everything, even the complete impossible, was possible in America. Today, especially in naturist circles, Europeans like to joke about the USA. Land of freedom… yeah right. Land where you’re likely to get fired or … Read more
We visited several clothing-optional resorts lately and were kinda surprised of how many questions we received about this concept. Especially on our Instagram Stories, because that’s where you can follow our travels live (in case you didn’t know this yet). Most people know naturism and/or nudism as these terms have existed for over a century. Clothing-Optional is rather new, from what we read, it only started being used in the eighties or nineties. … Read more
It had been 5 years since we first tried naturism in the USA. Or should we say “nudism”, the more accepted term in this part of the world? At the time, we needed to choose between Florida, famous as a nudist destination, and California which was more considered the nudist underdog. We chose the latter, because why would anyone want to read about a place that everyone seemed to have already visited, right? Ever … Read more
We know, we’re a bit late with the announcement. If you’ve been following this blog or our social media channels, or if you’ve subscribed to our newsletter, you’ve probably already heard about Destination Clothes Free a while ago. But the other day, we realised that we never officially presented it to you. So we figured that it might be a good idea to give you an introduction to this new concept. The false … Read more
December 12, 2016. To most of you, this date will probably not ring many bells. Neither to us, as a matter of fact, except that this day we published a blog post called “Why are naturists such friendly people“. We had only been blogging for a couple of months and the reason we tackled this topic so early in our journey was because the friendliness of naturists had been one of the cornerstones of our … Read more
Some people said that we were crazy when we told them about our plans to embark on a month-long tent camping trip in Canada. Especially our friends in Mexico, whom we waved goodbye to just before boarding a plane up north. They happened to be Canadians too, but had left their home country more than a decade ago to escape the cold. We had just been enjoying several weeks of warm Mexican weather together in … Read more
In case you haven’t noticed it yet, we’ve been running a kind of “How to find a great” series on Naked Wanderings during the last weeks. We had how to find a great nude beach, a great naturist campsite, a great naturist hotel, a great naturist hiking trail, and today, we’re going to look naturist vacation parks. What’s a naturist vacation park? We figured that this type of resort deserves a separate blog post because … Read more
Maybe it’s wishful thinking, or maybe it’s because we’re meeting so many naturists around the world, but we truly have the feeling that naturism is growing. Within naturism, especially naked hiking seems to become more and more popular. This doesn’t really come as a surprise to us. Many naturists we talk to like to be active, and the options are often a bit limited. Hiking or walking is an activity that can be enjoyed … Read more
Humans are social animals. Since the very beginning of our existence, we’ve been living in tribes and we are known to be at our best wherever our tribe is. As naturist bloggers, obviously our tribe consists of naturists and we should seek for them at naturist places. But one place is not the other. Meanwhile, we’ve gotten used to being recognised when we visit naturist resorts, but at Bare Oaks, it seemed like almost everyone … Read more
