Naturism in an Arab Bath in Andalucia

It was a sunny day with not a cloud in the sky when we arrived in the beautiful Andalucian city Granada. Don’t you like it when a blog post starts like that? But wait. It was late January and Granada is in the mountains. A clear sky doesn’t mean much in such a context. This was exactly what we found out when we got off the bus and immediately dove into our luggage to search … Read more

Chambres d'hôtes Naturiste: La Fenouillère in Var, France

Review: Chambres d’hôtes Naturiste: La Fenouillère in Var, France

Every summer roughly 2 million naturists find their way to France for a nude vacation. 2 Million! That’s a lot of people. That’s the population of Slovenia. They’re not all Slovenians though. Naturists from all over the world put France on their nude itinerary. Interestingly, the variety of naturist accommodations in France is not what one would expect. The large majority of places are campings and we’ve met plenty of naturists who didn’t have a … Read more

How naturism helped us to get more out of our travels

How Naturism Helped us to Get More Out of Our Travels

Naked Wanderings originated from the combination of our passion for travel and our passion for naturism. Which is not a weird mix, lots of naturist places around the world are vacation destinations. And many naturists prefer to spend their holidays clothes-free. This was how we felt as well. We wanted to explore the world, but we also wanted to fully enjoy our naturist way of living. It wasn’t all too hard to come up with … Read more

The weird principle of the separate nude beach

The weird principle of the separate nude beach

We have been to some absolutely splendid nude beaches during our travels. An all-time favorite of ours is the free beach of Zipolite. “Free” in the sense that you’re allowed to wear whatever you wish. Bathing suit, batman suit or birthday suit, nobody cares at all. Another one that’s definitely in our Top 3 of amazing nude beaches can be found in Tayrona National Park in Colombia. The hike to the nude beach takes no … Read more

The Different Types of Social Nudity

The Different Types of Social Nudity

When we started with social nudity, “naturism” was the only term we knew. The naked campsites in Belgium are called naturist campings and the clubs organizing naturist events are called naturist clubs. If we want to become a member, we have to ask the naturist federation. Everything was naturist.   Soon also the term “nudist” started to pop up, but almost exclusively in a negative sense. It was either used by naturists to point out … Read more

Musings about the Why in Social Nudity

Musings about the WHY in Social Nudity

Many of our blog posts are inspired by Twitter conversations, and this one isn’t any different. It all started when Hector Martinez asked the question “What are the biggest problems naturism faces in 2021?“, to which we responded that the current terminology of “naturism” and “nudism” (and in some regions “FKK”) doesn’t cover the whole scope of social nudity anymore.   It used to be pretty simple. If you believed in the ethical side of … Read more

The Naturist Talks: Nick from the USA

Naturism is a wonderful lifestyle that we try to enjoy as much as possible. In as many places as possible. Most of the time we share our own views on the different aspects of nudism but once in a while, we like to pass the mic to hear about how someone else’s experiences. Via this Naturist Talks interview series, we listen to naturists from all over the world. They share their experiences, tips and stories … Read more

A New Way of Clothes-Free Camping

A New Way of Clothes-Free Camping

Before we started our Naked Wanderings journey, we once took a gap year to go backpacking around Latin America. Thinking back of it now, the way we used to travel couldn’t have been more different than it is today. And not just because we wore clothes at the time.   Back in the day, we didn’t have apps or international sim cards. When we arrived at a new destination, we had to figure out how … Read more

From Fear to Freedom: How to Overcome the Anxiety of Going Nude

From Fear to Freedom: How to Overcome the Anxiety of Going Nude

When chatting with naturists, nudists, or anyone we meet without clothes, one regret echoes universally: “I wish I had discovered this sooner in my life.” You can see in their eyes how much they wish they could turn back time and spend those previous decades enjoying nude beaches or clothes-free resorts.   Digging deeper into why it took them so long to finally take that first step, we hear the same reasons repeatedly. “I didn’t … Read more
