Why we often compare naturism with veganism

If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you may have noticed that we often use a comparison with veganism as an example to explain certain aspects of naturism. There’s no need to worry, our goal is not to convince every naturist to adopt a vegan lifestyle. Or vice versa. But we noticed that although both are quite distinct, they share a number of similar values.   It appears that the concept of not … Read more

Should you go to an adults-only naturist resort?

Should you go to an adult-only naturist resort?

Naturism has always been promoted as a family-friendly thing, best enjoyed when you take your partner and your kids. For the large majority of naturist resorts around the world, families are still the preferred type of guest. But for a couple of years, we’ve been seeing a rapid increase of resorts that’ll ask you to leave the kids at home.   In the mind of the cautious naturist traveller, this immediately sets off a number … Read more

Where to make naturist friends

Where to make naturist friends

It keeps baffling us how many naturists we know around the world. Every time when we scroll through our phones, we see all these foreign numbers popping up, from places where we have ended up one day or another. We can roughly divide them in two categories: Airbnbs and naturists.   Airbnbs because this is where we spend many of our nights and it’s always a good idea to be able to communicate with the … Read more

Do you have to be a naturist to visit a naturist resort?

Do you have to be a naturist to visit a naturist resort?

We imagine that you’re shouting “YES, of course“, after you’ve just read the title question of this blog post. If you’re not a naturist, why would you want to visit a naturist resort in the first place? There’s nothing for you there, unless you have very un-naturist intentions which make you even less welcome.   Our answer is a bit more complicated, as you probably imagine since we’re about to spend a whole blog post … Read more

How to take better naturist pictures

How to take better naturist pictures

We’ve been publishing blog posts for more than 6 years now, and for the last 2 years, we also dove into creating videos. The one thing that put us in newspapers around the world though were the pictures that we shared on Instagram. We never really considered this, but our concept of self-censorship was exactly what the media loved. Nudity sells, that much is sure, but full-frontal nudity is something for magazines on the top … Read more

Can endemic naturism be the future?

Can endemic naturism be the future?

We are in South Africa, a country that is known – among many other things – for its vibrant mix of cultures. The fact that there are 11 official languages probably says enough, people from many different backgrounds are packed together in the southern tip of the African continent. A lot of this has to do with the country’s strategic position on the historical sailing route of the Dutch East India Company. It was a … Read more

The different types of naturism

Somewhere around late 2008, we had quite some questions about naturism. We had just been naked among complete strangers for the very first time, and we had enjoyed it very much. But the feeling was double. On one hand, we were longing for more, because it had been such a great experience. But on the other hand, there was nobody in our circles who seemed to do this as well. It felt difficult to talk … Read more

How Comfortable are YOU naked?

How Comfortable are YOU naked?

Reddit has always been an excellent source of information and inspiration. It’s definitely not the first time that we mention this at the start of a blog post and we’re pretty sure that it won’t be the last time either. Once again, we stumbled upon a thread on which we want to elaborate so much that we decided to write a blog post about it.   The thread presents the results of a survey conducted … Read more

Travel sustainably, travel naked

Travel sustainably, travel naked

This blog post has been made possible thanks to the sponsorship of France4Naturisme. A group of 6 naturist campsites in France that are living proof that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand.   Is there anyone who still believes that global warming and climate change are nothing but myths? Summer after summer, the newspapers are filled with reports about wildfires. They seem almost unstoppable. This isn’t something particularly new, but it does seem … Read more
