In a side road of the main motorway between Pattaya City and Sattahip, you will find the Phoenix Golf Club… Well, that’s pretty interesting if you’re into playing golf, but for us, this was only the sign to look at the other side of the road because according to our map this was where we should find Phuan Naturist Village, the latest addition to the growing list of resorts affiliated with Naturist Association Thailand. … Read more
NOTE: There is a 2023 version available of this blog post HERE. Although we’ve had a wonderful time at Phuan Naturist Village, we can understand that if you want to spend your holidays in the middle of the action ( or in our case, blow a load of money on wine and delicious Belgian food at the amazing restaurant Patrick), you do want to stay in the center of Pattaya City. And that’s exactly … Read more
UPDATE 2024: Unfortunately, after 5 beautiful years we’ve decided to put a hold on this project. It’s been fun, but we have other priorities now and just can’t put the time into NUDE that it deserves. Thanks everyone for your contributions, and, of course, there’s always Naked Wanderings and Destination Clothes Free to research your future travels. During our travels around the world we meet a lot of other nudists and what kind of … Read more
After spending some time with Hector, the amazing Mexican who became president of the national nudist federation, and after hanging out with the great nudist group from Guadalajara (really, you should visit these people sometimes, you’ll love them!), we had to move on. Away from the hills, away from the mainland, and on to the coast. If you Google “nude beach Mexico“, you’ll find a lot of information about that small Mexican part in the … Read more
It was surreal how fast those two months in Mexico had passed by, just like yesterday we had arrived at the house of Hector Martinez in the middle of the night and now we were only a couple of days away from our flight towards our next destination, Canada. But there was one place we still had to explore: Hidden Beach Resort at the Riviera Maya in Mexico. Located near Playa del Carmen and Cancun, … Read more
Sometimes we use the term “naturist resort” or “naturist camp” or “naturist place” or “naturist spot” for places where life is lived at the bare essentials. At least clothing-wise. We prefer not to use “naturist colony” because we feel that it gives a bit of a negative undertone to nude recreation. And sometimes we even use “naturist domain”, a pretty nice term if you ask us but after this blog post, we will, unfortunately, have … Read more
UNFORTUNATE NEWS: The owners of O’Naturel have announced that the restaurant will shut down on February 16th 2019. Because the weather in Canada started to turn cold and grey, our time to move on had come. Less than twelve hours after we boarded the plane in Montreal we touched ground in one of Europe’s most amazing cities. Although a good nap sounded like a great way to get rid of our jet lag, we … Read more
The origin of naturism has been subject to a lot of debate. Many historians who studied the lifestyle will point out a period in the early 20th century when the German Dr Heinrich Scham wrote the book Nacktkultur. Some, however, say it started already during the industrial revolution when a Belgian guy first used the term “naturism”. And others will tell you that it was way earlier, during Roman times when naked sports were more … Read more
Toen we met Naked Wanderings begonnen, hadden we nauwelijks een idee wat het betekende om “bloggers” te zijn. We waren gewoon graag bloot, we ontdekten al die leuke plekken voor naturisten, vol met mensen die onze mening deelden en wilden deze leuke blote levensstijl met zoveel mogelijk anderen delen. We hadden nooit durven denken of dromen dat iets meer dan een jaar later we een effectief boek zouden schrijven. Een ECHT boek! Eentje van … Read more
For the next stop on our little “Tour de France”, we drove further south towards a department called Landes, another popular tourist destination at the Bay of Biscay. We were on our way towards Vielle-Saint-Girons in the south-west corner of the regional park. The colorful ride could have been reason enough to visit the area but of course, we came here to visit naturist camping Arnaoutchot (or shortly: Arna). We had been told that Arna … Read more
