Just as we were thinking about a possible topic for this blog post, an email came in. After a short introduction about who she was, where she was from, and what tickled her interest in social nudity, came the question: “Where do I start?”. It seems so easy, and if she had asked us several years ago, we would have replied: “Try to find a naturist club or resort in your area, if these … Read more
If you’ve been following our YouTube channel, you might have seen that we made a significant change in our lives. After more than seven years of living out of a backpack, we now have a campervan with ample storage space. Wanting more than we need is probably very human and extra space appeared to be very easy to fill it up. That’s why, the next time we pass through Belgium, we plan to leave behind … Read more
It always surprises us when we’re talking to people on a nude beach, how few of them have ever visited a naturist resort or campground. For a variety of reasons. Sometimes it’s about misconceptions like a fear that you will be asked to be naked when you don’t really want to (which is almost never the case). Or it’s because they really love beaches. Quite some others just don’t feel much for a whole multi-day … Read more
In November 2020, we wrote a blog post about what naturist vacations could look like in 2021. It’s funny to re-read this because it was only the first year of the COVID pandemic and we seemed positive or ignorant enough to think that only a few months later we would wake up in an – although very much changed – free world. We were wrong about the two basics of that post really… 2021 … Read more
Why does one become a naturist? Some people will tell you that this question is irrelevant. You were born naked and in the first years of your life, clothes may have felt more of a burden than it does to the average adult naturist. Being naked is our natural state and being clothed is nothing but learned behaviour. Those are very valid statements, of course, which we can’t argue with. But later in your … Read more
During the height of the COVID pandemic, nude vacations have seen significant growth. The reason was pretty obvious. People were looking for safe spaces to travel to, preferably somewhere in nature, where social distancing can easily be practiced, and where you can bring your own accommodation, food, and utensils. This is pretty much the definition of an everyday naturist campground. The fact that they would also have to leave the bathing suit at home was … Read more
Throughout our travels, we got the chance to talk with many people who enjoy some sort of social nudity. It could be just at home or in the garden with close family members, or at meetups with friends. Some go to nude events, nude yoga classes, or nude beaches. But we’re always surprised how only a small percentage of these people have ever been to a clothes-free resort. The number one reason why not, … Read more
If you’re following us on YouTube on our Nick and Lins channel and especially our Destination Clothes Free channel, you may have noticed that we’ve been spending a lot of time on nude beaches recently. It wasn’t always like that. For much of our naturist-history, we have been prioritising nude resorts. Mostly because the variety of things to do is just so much bigger than on a nude beach. Only after visiting some spectacular … Read more
The other day, an ignorant friend asked if we found any nudist colonies in Ibiza. He didn’t mean any harm, but literally every hair in both our necks went straight up. If there is one term we have detested ever since we’ve taken our first steps into social nudity, it was “nudist colony”. We know the word “colony” mostly from history class and immediately link it to imperialism, oppression and slavery. Pretty much the opposite … Read more
Is the end of naturism showing up on the horizon? Are we all becoming more prude than ever before? Are drones, smartphones, TikTok, and Instagram forcing our youth to put on another layer of clothing rather than take one off? Will new technology make sure that soon babies are born wearing pyjamas? Well, it is according to this article (except for the pyjama baby, we just made that up) and it’s the biggest bullshit we … Read more
