We want to learn why they decided to make the move from Belgium … Read more

Goodbye to the Lost Year, welcome 2021!

Goodbye to the Lost Year, Welcome 2021!

Be careful what you wish for, they said. Maybe we should have listened. If you asked us around this time last year what we hoped for 2020, we probably said something like “unique experiences and meeting interesting people”. And that was exactly what we got. Unfortunately, a global pandemic was not the kind of experience we had in mind. Neither were virologists the kind of people we were looking forward to meeting. At least not … Read more

European naturist campgrounds

Why You don’t like European naturist campgrounds (And why you’re wrong)

The other day, yet another person told us that naturist camping is nothing for her. Not for the obvious reasons though, this wasn’t about body confidence, about prudery, or about cultural differences. This person didn’t have a jealous partner stopping her, didn’t have ultra-religious parents, or wasn’t worried about her colleagues finding out. In fact, she was butt naked when she told us. On a nude beach. Surrounded by other naked people.   We get … Read more

Nude Vacations in Portugal

Nude Vacations in Portugal: A Naturist Road Trip

If there’s one country in Europe that is still off the radar of most naturist travelers, it must be Portugal. How many of you knew that there are any naturist places in Portugal before we started blogging about the country a month ago? Honestly, we didn’t know either. Only when we were contacted by the friendly people of Quinta Do Maral, the country appeared on our map as well. Really? A naturist campsite in Portugal? … Read more

Le Couderc in Dordogne, France: Review

Review: Le Couderc in Dordogne, France

Many naturist campsites are run as family businesses. We’ve heard the story several times before. A couple gets tired of their everyday jobs and starts dreaming about their own tropical paradise. Someplace where they can spend their days in the nude and share the experience with thousands of other naturists. The dream becomes reality. They sell their belongings, make a deal with the bank, buy a property, load their kids in the back of the … Read more

Will Vloggers Inspire the World to Get Naked?

Will Vloggers Inspire the World to Get Naked?

Last week, The Meandering Naturist asked a question that most promotors of naturism are struggling with: Is social media worth the effort in a naturist world? Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and the likes are often seen as the enemy because they have strict censorship rules that demonize the human body in its natural form. Why would we invest time (and let alone money) in something like that?   On the other hand, these are unique tools … Read more

Naturism as a Business Model

Naturism as a Business Model

The other day, we took part in an interesting Twitter conversation (if we had a dollar for every time that happens) about whether or not naturism should become more commercial and whether there is a need for naturist business models. Will it improve naturism as we know it? Or will it backfire and take down the whole non-profit concept on which naturism was initially built? Will fully embracing capitalism be the next step towards normalizing … Read more

Review: Domaine de la Gagère in Burgundy, France

Review: Domaine de la Gagère in Burgundy, France

The shock of moving back from Mexico to Belgium was also temperature-wise. Every time we return to our home country to spend some quality time with friends and family, we’re surprised about how cold it can get. Especially now, in mid-summer. Luckily, we had something to look forward to. Soon we would move on to France, the country that had thrown three heatwaves our way last summer.   That didn’t work out exactly as we … Read more

How much does it cost to visit a naturist resort?

We often hear that some people find naturism rather expensive. Well, it’s not. Taking off your clothes doesn’t cost you a thing, unless you do so in inappropriate places which may result in a ticket from the police. In fact, going naked is cheaper than going clothed, because you obviously can avoid the cost of clothes.   Social nudity is another story, around the world are plenty of public places where you can be naked, … Read more

My Naturism - a survey about nudism

What we learned from 1000 naturists

Lately we’ve been seeing several discussions pop up about what naturism really means and who’s a naturist and who isn’t. We’ve seen them in the comment sections of our blog posts, in Facebook groups and on online fora and we started wondering about this… In the past there was little room for discussion, either you were member of a naturist club and you were a real naturist or otherwise you were just that girl or … Read more
