10 Things we learned from Naturist Traveling in Northern Europe

10 Things we learned from Clothes-Free Travelling in Northern Europe

Last summer, we spent three months travelling more or less around the Baltic Sea in Northern Europe. Starting from the German North Sea Coast, we made our way into Denmark and from there crossed into Sweden. We followed the Swedish coast from Malmö to Stockholm, from where we took a ferry to Estonia. Then we started following the coast back south, through Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, to eventually end up in Germany again.   After … Read more

Naked vacations in Croatia: Where to go in 2027

Naked vacations in Croatia: Where to go in 2027

There used to be a time, roughly from the late 1960s through the 1980s, when Croatia was the world’s number one destination for clothes-free vacations. The FKK movement was on the rise in German-speaking Europe, and the government of (former)Yugoslavia realised that they were perfectly located to provide refuge to this growing group of naked vacationers.   A lot has changed since then. While wars divided Yugoslavia into seven different states, Spain and France were … Read more

Naked in the Canaries: Which Island Is Right for You?

Naked in the Canaries: Which Island Is Right for You?

Naturist vacation options are plenty in Europe. At least, if you’re happy with travelling between roughly May and mid-October. Outside of that window, the options become a lot fewer. One major exception is the Canary Islands, which can easily be nicknamed Europe’s Naked Winter Capital.   Technically, the islands are a part of Spain. But their location closer to central Morocco than to any part of Europe creates an ideal climate with lots of sun … Read more

The Sauna Culture in Northern Europe Experienced

The Sauna Culture in Northern Europe Experienced

To many, social clothes-free experiences can roughly be divided into three categories. There are the nude beaches, the resorts, and events or activities. In parts of north-eastern Europe, however, there’s a fast-growing fourth category: Sauna and spa centres.   When we were planning our summer travels through northern Europe, we realised quickly that the sauna culture should be an important element of this trip. We wanted to discover how it’s organised, how nude it is, … Read more

The Joys and Sweats of Summer Clothes-Free Travel

The Joys and Sweats of Summer Clothes-Free Travel

Who doesn’t love the summer? The days are long, the sun is high, and naturist resorts are packed with friendly naked people.   But “packed” also means queuing for bread in the morning, praying for an empty lounger next to the pool, and traffic jams. Lots and lots of traffic jams.   During our travels, we have met lots of people who love summer clothes-free travelling and many others who prefer the shoulder seasons instead. … Read more

Social Nudity in the Baltic Countries

Social Nudity in the Baltic Countries

Every winter, at some point, we find ourselves staring at the world map to figure out what our plans for the next summer will be. Since we have a camper van that is stored in Europe, this is usually where our eyes drift first.   There are the usual suspects: France never fails to deliver with over 250 naturist campsites and more than a hundred nude beaches. Then there’s Spain, where every beach is technically … Read more

What's the right naturist campsite for you?

What’s the right naturist campsite for you?

“So… we went to a naturist campsite, but we don’t think it was something for us”. Said no one ever. At least, that’s what we like to believe, but it isn’t always true. Although most just wish they discovered this a few centuries earlier, sometimes we meet people who gave naked camping a try and did not enjoy it.   Inappropriate behaviour can play a big role in this. We have friends who once were … Read more

Naturism and Modern Technology: How to cope with it?

Naturism and Modern Technology: How to cope with it?

These days, if you want to write a blog post that will be picked up by thousands, if not millions of people, you have to write about AI. It’s the buzzword of this time. So welcome to what’s going to be for sure the most viral piece that has ever been published on Naked Wanderings!   Just kidding… Or maybe half at least. AI is everywhere, it’s in our newspapers, on our television, in our … Read more

How to make a Nude Beach Successful? Lessons from Ågesta (Sweden)

How to make a Nude Beach Successful? Lessons from Ågesta (Sweden)

We went to Stockholm with the idea of making a video about all the nude beaches around the city. And there are quite a few. From our research, we learned that 6 were pretty solid on the “you can be naked guaranteed” front, and three others were a bit more uncertain. In the sense that we could find remarks from someone who had gone naked there, but it may have been a while.   The … Read more

What Naturist Campsites in Sweden are Really Like

What Naturist Campsites in Sweden are Really Like

“Naturist clubs” don’t always have such a great reputation among naked travellers. They are often seen as a synonym for complicated booking experiences, tedious registration procedures, endless lists of rules, crappy websites, and facilities that haven’t been updated since the last century.   There are exceptions, obviously, but in this age of commercial naturist centres, many travellers just go for certainty and avoid the clubs altogether. We’re not any different. Of all the naturist places … Read more
