Whenever you’re trying something new, awkward moments are almost inevitable. Of course, it had to be you who farted during that first yoga class. It was you who stepped on the salsa teacher’s toes not once, not twice, but three times during a 4-minute song. Not to mention that hiking trip in Spain when you wanted to ask the gorgeous guide to help untangle your rope and said with a big smile “Quíta la ropa, … Read more
According to data from the World Tourism Organization, Mexico is the world’s 6th most visited country in the world. Unfortunately, there are no statistics about how many of these visitors are planning to spend their vacation without clothes, but we’re certain that this number is rising year after year. While resorts that allow nudity in one form or another can be found in different places in the country, two specific areas stand out as … Read more
The other day we spent an evening with friends and the nudism topic came up. They had just moved to an apartment in Spain in a region that has some splendid nude beaches and although they had never visited one before, their curiosity was tickled. After all these years of visiting nude beaches, we can answer most questions without even giving it much thought. When am I supposed to take off my clothes? What … Read more
People often ask what our favourite places in the world are. It’s one of the toughest questions to answer because experiences are always very personal. It’s not because we love a place that you will love it too and sometimes our opinions are based on just a stay of a couple of days. But if you’ve been following our travels, you may have noticed that now and then we seem to appear in Zipolite. … Read more
We LOVE Mexico. We love everything about it, from tacos to tequila and from mariachi music to the friendly smiles on the faces of the Mexicans. And we love the weather. There’s something mischievously delightful about scrolling through Facebook and seeing our European friends sharing photos of endless rain while we are getting ready for the beach. The downside is that we left our beloved Zipolite behind and are now in a place where … Read more
There are a lot of assumptions about who actually visits clothes-free resorts. Some think that those places are full of models, showcasing their bodies as if they are in a nude photoshoot. Others think the opposite, that it’s all about people who don’t care about their bodies. And then there is also the stereotype of the elderly naked white man with a beer belly. When people ask us who naturists or nudists really are, … Read more
Unlike what some seem to believe, paid naturist content is not something new. For many decades, naturist federations and clubs have been publishing magazines and newsletters that were uniquely for their members. Unless you paid the membership fee, or you had generous friends, you didn’t have access to this content. For the longest time, these organisations had quite a monopoly on such publications. If you wanted to know what was happening in the naturist … Read more
We often hear that some people find naturism rather expensive. Well, it’s not. Taking off your clothes doesn’t cost you a thing, unless you do so in inappropriate places which may result in a ticket from the police. In fact, going naked is cheaper than going clothed, because you obviously can avoid the cost of clothes. Social nudity is another story, around the world are plenty of public places where you can be naked, … Read more
Some European countries, like France and Croatia, are known for their large naturist resorts. There you can spend days in the nude without ever feeling the need to head into the clothed world. We never considered that the Netherlands could also have a spot like this. We always considered the Netherlands a country where naturists travel from, not travel to. Well, until we visited Flevo Natuur. It has to be said that Flevo Natuur … Read more
A question we regularly get about naturism is “What do you do when it’s cold?” We always find this funny because the simplicity of our answer often leaves people speechless. “We just put on some clothes”. There are people who passionately follow the mantra “as nude as possible, as much as possible”, but most naturists we meet actually don’t mind clothes that much. This includes ourselves, by the way. We believe that there’s a … Read more
