9 Tips for the First Time Naturist Men

Last week we’ve written this whole article about the first steps into nudism for women. With the whole cultural background thing it is a fact that these steps are often considered more difficult to make if you’re a woman, but men have their issues too. Yes, in highschool we did shower together with twenty of other teenagers, but those days are long gone. For years and years we’ve rarely seen another human being naked if … Read more

Improve your body acceptance by going nude

You’re probably thinking “they must be joking” right? All your life you’ve been spending thousands of hours and dollars picking clothes that make you look thinner, hats that make you look larger, make-up to hide the wrinkles and jewellery to distract the attention from all the rest. Who knows, maybe you’ve even been to a doctor to have this or that corrected. And now Nick and Lins are telling you to leave all that behind… … Read more

The Importance of Naturist Events

The Importance of Naturist Events

Ever since the start of naturism as we know it in the early 20th century, the focus has been on the social aspect. As with many other things in life, also naturism is better when it’s shared. There are many ways to do this. We meet other naturists at nude beaches and naturist resorts. We enjoy the warmth of the sun or the heath of the sauna together. At any naturist swimming pool, you’ll find … 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

Living in a nudist community

Living in a Nudist Community

When we traveled to Spain, several months ago, our initial plan was to arrive in Alicante and start traveling south from there. One of the places we definitely wanted to visit was Vera Playa, a so-called “naturist village” in the north of the Andalucia region. That was the place where we had hoped to write this blog post because people are actually living there and spend their lives (when the weather permits it) pretty much … Read more

The Pressure of Going Naked

The Pressure of Going Naked

A couple of years ago, we’ve been front row spectators of one of the saddest scenes that we ever encountered on our naturist travels, and we’ve seen quite a lot. Remember, we’ve been to Cap d’Agde once. This had nothing to do with sex though. We were lazing away in the sun beds of a very genuine naturist resort and in the corner of our eye, we saw a new couple arriving from the reception … Read more

Why we use censorship on Naked Wanderings

Why we use censorship on Naked Wanderings

This is probably the number one question that we are being asked (with “How do you make money?” as a close second, but that’s for another blog post). Some propose their own opinions. Are we prudes? Are we not really naturists? Are we posers who are just looking for quick fame on the internet? Are we keeping the juicy stuff to put behind a paywall?   Truth to be said, as Naked Wanderings evolved over … Read more

5 Naturist YouTube Channels You Really want to Follow in 2020

5 Naturist YouTube Channels You Really want to Follow in 2020

Remember the times when the magazines and websites of naturist federations were the only available source of information about naturism? On one hand it did make things pretty easy. Whatever they said, was the one and only truth. Their definitions, rules, and etiquette defined naturism. Period. Of course, not every naturist had the same opinion, but there wasn’t really a platform available to share other visions about naturism.   This was one of the main … Read more

Can naturist resorts be successful while maintaining its values?

Can a naturist resort be successful while maintaining its values?

More than often when we visit a nudist resort we are asked for our opinion about how they can attract more young people, or at least more people our age. We always try to give them some tips, but unfortunately we don’t carry all the wisdom either. If that would be the case, we would start our own perfect resort and become millionaires. But clearly we haven’t gotten to that point… yet. One thing we’ve … Read more

Monetisation of naturist content explained

The monetisation of naturist content explained

Unlike what some seem to believe, paid naturist content is not something new. For many decades, naturist federations and clubs have been publishing magazines and newsletters that were uniquely for their members. Unless you paid the membership fee, or you had generous friends, you didn’t have access to this content.   For the longest time, these organisations had quite a monopoly on such publications. If you wanted to know what was happening in the naturist … Read more
