Why does one become a naturist? Some people will tell you that this question is irrelevant. You were born naked and in the first years of your life, clothes may have felt more of a burden than it does to the average adult naturist. Being naked is our natural state and being clothed is nothing but learned behaviour. Those are very valid statements, of course, which we can’t argue with. But later in your … Read more
Being a Muslim country, Indonesia is definitely not the most obvious destination for a naturist vacation. But the island Bali is slightly different. The majority of its population is Hindu, a religion that tends to be a bit more accepting. The island is home to several resorts that allow social nudity. Most of them are male-only, except for Bali Au Naturel, which also caters to naturist couples. Nude beaches are non-existing in Bali and public … Read more
For a long time, digital nomadism was just this new hippie thing for the younger generations that didn’t want to settle down just yet. People who wanted to travel the world, but didn’t really have the savings to do so for a very long period of time. The internet created opportunities, and especially in the ICT sector, it became quite easy to find a job that didn’t require you to come to an office every … Read more
For us, the social aspect of naturism is very important. We believe that naturists and nudists are a community, a group of people that share certain beliefs and habits. This is improved by getting together at naturist venues, clubs, or events. Also the official definition of naturism, by the International Naturist Federation INF-FNI, states that “naturism is characterized by the practice of communal nudity”. It’s what naturists do, we get naked together. During our … Read more
We’ve been talking about how to take the first steps as a male nudist or as a female nudist, but the best way to start with nudism (at least to us because that’s how we started) is as a couple. Most probably one of the two will drop the idea “honey, what about going on a nude vacation this summer?”. The other half will then respond with a “Yay, I want this too” or a … Read more
The idea of being naked among others can be very scary, in fact, it’s the subject of many nightmares. Then why should you do that for something that should be relaxing, for something that should be fun, for those couple of weeks a year when you’re supposed to release all stress, for your holiday? We’ll tell you why! As a reader of this blog, you already know about the joys of feeling the sun … Read more
We’re on an island called Koh Rong Sanloem, off the coast of Cambodia. There’s no naturism here, nor anywhere else in the country. For the last couple of days, we’ve been asking several expats if they think it would be possible to start a naturist resort here. The locals are mostly fishermen or run small shops or restaurants. They don’t care much about us tourists. Although their culture and Buddhist religion isn’t really favourable to … Read more
One of the big advantages of being full-time naturist travel bloggers is that we get the opportunity to visit some of the most famous nudist resorts in the world. Bare Oaks in Canada, CHM Monta in France, Hidden Beach in Mexico, or Oriental Village in Thailand, only to name a few. And all of that in little more than a year. But what we like equally as much (if not more) is when we can … Read more
It’s very hard to have a discussion about nudism in general in the USA. It’s such a large country with lots of cultural and religious differences. States like California and Florida have a florishing nudist nudist culture and several nude beaches and nudist resorts. Other states are less accepting when it comes to social nudity. Similarly, several regions allow topless sunbathing or even top-freedom in all public places. New York, for example allows women to … Read more
The general opinion about naturism is that it’s something social. If you like to hang out in the nude while watching Netflix, you’re often considered “just a nude person”. Only when you frequent nude beaches or visit naturist clubs or resorts, spending time with other nudies, people start considering you a naturist. Before we started Naked Wanderings, we didn’t have a clue about the existence of home naturism. Being nude at our home has … Read more
