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
During the last decade, Asia has been the next continent where naturism has really been getting a foot on the ground. First in Thailand and Bali, but now also in the Philippines, naturist resorts have been opening their doors. A blessing for local naturists, who now don’t have to cross the globe anymore for their naturist vacations. But also great for foreign travelers. Next to the Caribbean, there is definitely another great region with perfect … Read more
December is an interesting month to visit Spain’s Alicante region. Mass tourism has largely left and the cities and towns return to the relaxed atmosphere that’s so typical for the Mediterranean coastal regions. The weather at this time of the year loses its “perfect for sunbathing and ideal for skinny dipping” status and becomes a bit unpredictable. During the ten December days that we’ve already spent in the region, we’ve seen warm and sunny, windy … Read more
The winter months are typically not the best time of the year for naked vacations. Many naturist resorts in the northern hemisphere have closed their doors and the options are limited to indoor naturism. Like the spa and sauna centers in western Europe, for example. Although we definitely agree that there’s nothing better than skinny dipping at a naturist paradise with the summer sun warming up our bare bodies, there is something about being … Read more
For many European naturists, including ourselves, a visit to the spa was the first experience of social nudity. This isn’t a coincidence. The step to try a nude spa is just a lot smaller than a visit to a naturist club or resort. While the latter encourage nudity, bathrobes and sarongs are embraced at the spa. Nudity is only obligatory inside the pool, the jacuzzi, and the other facilities. If you prefer some covering when … Read more
Naked Wanderings originated from the combination of our passion for travel and our passion for naturism. Which is not a weird mix, lots of naturist places around the world are vacation destinations. And many naturists prefer to spend their holidays clothes-free. This was how we felt as well. We wanted to explore the world, but we also wanted to fully enjoy our naturist way of living. It wasn’t all too hard to come up with … Read more
As you may remember, we have spent the last three months on our Epic nude road trip through France. We had been to naturist campsites in France before, but then we mostly stayed in rental accommodations. This year, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to get back to basic and bring our own tent and our own gear. It definitely was epic. We discovered so many great naturist campgrounds in France, we … Read more
When it comes to tourism, the French Limousin region sometimes lays a bit in the shadow of its southern neighbor Dordogne or the western Atlantic coastline. You’ll rarely find the region in lists of top tourist destinations in France, that much is sure. A shame, if you ask us. Spectacular beauty may not be waiting for you behind every corner, as is the case in the Alps, Provence, or Dordogne. But if you take the … Read more
For us, the social aspect of naturism is very important. We believe that naturists and nudists are a community, a group of people that share certain beliefs and habits. This is improved by getting together at naturist venues, clubs, or events. Also the official definition of naturism, by the International Naturist Federation INF-FNI, states that “naturism is characterized by the practice of communal nudity”. It’s what naturists do, we get naked together. During our … Read more
