Croatia is often considered to be the origin of commercial naturism. The earliest mentions of the country in naturist articles date from the very beginning of the 20th century and by the 1960s more than 100 000 naturists spent their vacations at the Croatian coast year after year. Just off the coast of the town Vrsar on the Istria peninsula lays a small island called Koversada that used to be particularly popular among naturists. … Read more
During the last years, we have stayed at so many different kinds of naturist accommodations. From campsites in the woods to all-inclusive resorts at the beach. From small BnBs to huge naturist villages. Self-catered villas, bungalows, glamping tents, apartments, you name it. But there was one type that still stood shining bright on our bucket list: A ship. We had been naked on a boat before, like the time we went on a half-day … Read more
Belgium counts about 10 naturist resorts. Did you guess that? Don’t worry if you didn’t, even most Belgian naturists don’t know this. Most will come up with about two or three resorts, and there’s a 95% percent chance that the ones they name are the Athena campsites. The Athena club was founded in 1955 by Irène and Robert Lambrechts, who were also co-founders of the Belgian Naturist Federation. Today, Athena is still a family … Read more
If there has been one benefit of the COVID lockdowns, it’s that we suddenly gained a lot of time to think. For many months, traveling from one place to another just wasn’t an option. So we started musing about the future of Naked Wanderings and we started learning new skills. We got interested in video. It’s a completely different way of creativity and one that we could easily include in our Naked Wanderings concept. … Read more
When we travel, we prefer to stay in resorts where we can spend at least some of our time without clothes. Not just because we love to be naked or because we find it more comfortable (and time-saving) not having to stand in front of a closet or backpack picking an outfit. Equally important, because we like naturists. We like the friendly social atmosphere that is so typical at naturist resorts. Spending time at … Read more
The Costa Blanca is one of Spain’s most popular tourist regions. Year after year, many thousands of vacationers find their way to this piece of the Mediterranean coast that is blessed with a lack of rain and agreeable temperatures pretty much year-round. During the last couple of years, the region has also become more and more interesting for the naked traveler. Several naturist resorts have opened up their doors, of which Finca Soñada has been … Read more
In our previous blog post, you could read all about our visions for the future of Naked Wanderings. We have some pretty good ideas to make the whole concept more interesting, of which our new vlogs will definitely be a significant part. And we also want to focus more on what the traveling naturist enjoys. The Costa Blanca region in Spain has been a great place to try out our new concept, but we started … Read more
At the end of November 2020, we traveled to Spain with a plan. Normally, when winter comes to Europe, we tend to move to places a bit closer to the equator, to make sure that we can continue our naked getaways. But because of COVID, those options were off the table. So we looked for a place in Europe that was likely to have agreeable weather even in the winter months. Our eye fell on … Read more
Europe is an expensive place to be. Every time when we have a morning coffee on a French terrace and have to pay a small fortune for it, we hope that we’ll soon awake from this nightmare. Maybe it’s because we’ve been spending lots of time in cheaper parts of the world lately or maybe it’s because our income isn’t exactly comparable to European standards, but in any case, being in Europe is always a … Read more
After three summers of road tripping through France, we can definitely say that we’ve seen a fair share of what the country has to offer to the naturist visiter. But even then, there are still quite a lot of places that we still need to discover. This is the reason why we keep calling France the “Queen of naturism”. There are just so many options to choose from. For us, this is definitely a blessing. … Read more
