The other day we were looking at our Nakation map and started counting the countries in which we have stayed at naturist camping and resorts (yeah, we do that from time to time and we have to admit that it does fill us with some pride). Thirteen! We have stayed at naturist spots in thirteen different countries, spread over four different continents. Pretty cool, right? And then we noticed a blank spot: Belgium. Our … Read more
The name Jitske Van de Veire will probably not ring too many bells if you’re not from Belgium. She’s the daughter of a Belgian celebrity and has recently gained her own fame by becoming a leading face in the promotion of body positivity. She regularly posts semi-nude pictures on her Instagram account with the goal to show the world that there’s nothing wrong with not qualifying to the “beauty ideals”. The message behind it is … Read more
You probably thought we were crazy when you got the news that we were going to Bali. After spending a month complaining about the lack of nudist opportunities in Sri Lanka, we picked an Island in Muslim Indonesia as our next destinationโฆ Now we don’t have to tell you that in Indonesia nude beaches are nonexisting, so why Bali? Bali isn’t exactly known as a nude vacation destination, but we had a very good … Read more
We visited several clothing-optional resorts lately and were kinda surprised of how many questions we received about this concept. Especially on our Instagram Stories, because that’s where you can follow our travels live (in case you didn’t know this yet). Most people know naturism and/or nudism as these terms have existed for over a century. Clothing-Optional is rather new, from what we read, it only started being used in the eighties or nineties. … Read more
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
The alternative title of this post would have been “Why we all should cast away sometimes”, but we wanted you to know from the very beginning that this is about The Blue Lagoon. And we don’t mean the geothermal spa in Iceland (which is by the way an amazing place and such a shame that they make you wear bathing suits) but about the movie from 1980 starring the young Christopher Atkins and Brooke Shields. … Read more
In some of the first articles on this website we told you howย our first nudist experience and how we accidentally went to a nudist campging. This is pretty much how we rolled into it. At the time we didn’t ask ourselves too many questions about this. It was what it was, we had found an alternative lifestyle, a nude lifestyle, and we enjoyed it. Only later, after talking to several other nudists and after reading … Read more
Spring is in the air in the northern hemisphere. We can see it in our mailbox and on our social media, one after the other naturist campsite in Europe and the USA have started opening their doors for another season of receiving naked guests. Back in the days when we were still having day jobs in Belgium, this was the time of the year when we would head into the basement to find our camping … Read more
We received a message on our YouTube channel today. Someone asked whether “it is okay to wear only boxers when visiting a naturist place“. We explained that it is not. In fact, that the only types of clothing that really are considered a big no-no are underwear and bathing suits. Well, visibly that is, if it’s freezing outside and you’re wearing pants and a jacket, feel free to wear some undies too. But only boxers? … Read more
Spring is about to come to town, which is the perfect timing to start dreaming about the summer. What are your plans for this year? Camping in Croatia? Some beautiful resorts in Greece? Or maybe somewhere a bit further like Bangkok for example? All wonderful ideas and great plans for a great nude summer holiday! But if you want to do something really extraordinary this year, why not visit a nude festival, a great skinny … Read more
