Italy is often considered the world’s capital of Christianity. It’s where Vatican City is located and where the Pope lives. This hasn’t exactly been an advantage when it comes to social nudity. While topless sunbathing on the beach was pretty common in many Western European countries since the sixties or seventies, it has only become legal in Italy in the year 2000. Prior to 2006, full nudity at Italian beaches was prohibited by law and … Read more
During our nude trip through Italy, we discovered a wonderful region in southern Tuscany which hasn’t been overrun by tourists yet. Well, we didn’t actually discover it, Bas and Domenica did about nine years ago. They decided that it was the perfect place to start their own naturist campsite Sasso Corbo. A choice with which we couldn’t agree more. The surroundings provide the perfect place for naturists who want to indulge in nature and history … Read more
A visit to naturist resort Grottamiranda, in the southern tip of Italy, meant quite a large detour from our original travel plan. That’s the thing with Italy, it’s not a particularly big country but it’s long. We decided to add Grottamiranda to our itinerary anyway for two main reasons. First of all, because it’s located in the Puglia region (Apulia in Italian) which is one of Italy’s richest archaeological regions and the birthplace of some … Read more
While naturist vacations in Italy are still somewhat new, Suncave Gardens is certainly the very new kid on the block. Only about a year and a half ago, this first naturist resort in the Lazio region opened its doors. From the first day of our stay, we felt that Suncave was not like most other naturist places we’ve visited before. Yet the atmosphere felt very familiar. Then a memory from EcoParque da Mata in Brazil … Read more
Oh, how much have we been looking forward to this moment? Finally, the Europe part of our nude journey around the world has kicked off! Not that we didn’t like the other continents, certainly not. But Europe is still the place to find the widest variety of naturist options. Which happens to be exactly what we are looking for. The first country on our itinerary, Italy, might not be THAT famous for naturism (yet). However, … Read more
Colombia… The name must certainly ring something but chances are that it’s an alarm bell. Isn’t that the country of which you saw a documentary the other day on Netflix? A country full of drugs and violence and FARC rebels? What got into our minds to search for nudism in Colombia? Luckily, most of what you saw on TV is long history. The Colombians prefer to look towards the future and luckily so does the … Read more
We were planning to spend our last days in Colombia in style. Meanwhile, we had visited Colombia’s only official nude beach and we had enjoyed several great meetups with local nudist groups (more about that next week). The only thing which was missing on our list was a place where we could spend day and night in the nude. Almost by accident, with the help of our growing nudist contact list, we had discovered that … Read more
This is the third and last part of our blog series about nudism and naturism around the world. In previous chapters, we’ve talked about naturism in Europe and nudism in the Americas. These are the regions where naturism and nudism are the most popular and we kept going on and on because the options are plenty. Today will be a bit more difficult so we decided to merge three continents in this last part. … Read more
After spending three months searching for the best nude beaches and naturist resorts in Brazil and visiting more or less all of them, we can tell you that we learned quite a bit about nudism in Brazil. It’s been an interesting journey, that’s the least we can say. We met some wonderful people along the way, engaged in living the nudist lifestyle, and in promoting nudism throughout the country. And we found some differences with … Read more
Our virtual tour around the nudist world continues. Previously in this “Nudism and Naturism around the World” blog post series, we talked about naturism in Europe and now we’re moving our naked butts across the Atlantic ocean. We’re going to check out where to find nudism in the Americas and who the American nudists really are. American nudists, Mexican nudists, and Canadian naturists In the part about naturism in Europe, we already discussed a … Read more
