Why are the staff of the naturist resort not naked?

Oh, the shock it must have been… You arrive at this naturist resort, ready for a week with not a single piece of clothing in sight. You walk into the reception desk, and the first thing you see is a row of very friendly but also very clothed receptionists. Didn’t the brochure say that nudity was expected throughout the resort whenever the weather permits? Then why does this not apply to the staff?   Especially … Read more

How to avoid the Summer Swimsuit Invasion

How to avoid the Summer Swimsuit Invasion

We love travelling in spring. Nature is still green, you can read the happiness on people’s faces when they have their first nude beach visit of the year, but most of all, we love it because the big crowds still haven’t arrived yet. Several times, we would end up at this remote stretch of beach that’s considered an unofficial nude zone, but of which we’re certain that in just a few weeks, nobody will even … Read more

10 things we wish we knew before going to a naturist campsite in France for the first time

10 Things We Wish We Knew Before Going to a Naturist Campsite in France for the First Time

Our first steps into French naturism almost seem like we took them in a previous life. Meanwhile, we discovered so many resorts, from small club campgrounds with just a handful of spots to huge so-called “naturist villages” that are larger than any of the real villages nearby. And pretty much everything in between.   They all look different. Some are at the coast, others in the mountains or the countryside. Some have lakes or rivers … Read more

How to create safe nude beaches: The Master Plan

How to create safe nude beaches: The Master Plan

We’ve spent the last month in Italy, a country not particularly known for its many naturist options. But the number of resorts has been steadily growing during the last decade or so. Not just foreigners discovering Italy as a pretty cool destination for nude vacations. Also more and more Italians seem to exchange their yearly vacations to Croatia with something closer to home.   Nude beach-wise, the country also has more to offer than what … Read more

Destination Clothes Free

Why “Clothes-Free” and other questions you have about the Destination Clothes Free website

Our new Destination Clothes Free website is getting into shape. It’s been online for roughly a month (if you include the early access on Patreon), and many of you have already taken a few looks. Thanks a lot for that!   Some of you also had a few questions. Very fair ones, because we have made a few choices that are probably not that obvious at first sight. Why are we using the term “clothes-free” … Read more

Work naked: how to find a naked job

What if you could work naked?

“Life is better without clothes”, you may have seen that slogan before. But it’s easier said than done. Sometimes the weather gets in between, or that prude aunt decides to come over for a visit. And then there are groceries, hobbies, and all those other things that you may wish you could do naked, but where your birthday suit isn’t really considered acceptable dress code.   For many of us, a large part of our … Read more

Destination Clothes Free is the only clothes-free travel platform built to inspire people who actually plan naturist trips.

Nick & Lins Proudly Present: The Destination Clothes Free Website

Less than a month after we proudly presented our Clothes-Free safaris, here’s another announcement in what might become a “Proudly Presents” series: The Destination Clothes Free Website.   If you’ve followed us on social media or on Patreon, you’ve probably heard that we stopped travelling for a few months last winter to work on new projects. And the results are now slowly trickling through.   What’s the need for a new website? “Oh no, not … Read more

Nice to meet you, I'm a nudist

Nice to meet you, I’m a Nudist

The other day, we were having lunch with about 10 strangers when someone turned to us and asked: “What do you guys do?” We’ve been in this situation many times before, and meanwhile, we know the drill. We have a quick glimpse at each other, and in not much more than a second and without saying a single word, we come to a unanimous decision on the question “Are we going to tell the truth? … Read more

10 Things You Should Know Before Going to a Nude Beach for the First Time

10 Things You Should Know Before Going to a Nude Beach for the First Time

We still remember our first nude beach experience. The nerves, the overthinking, the wondering if this will all turn into one of those embarrassing stories that keep following you for the rest of your life. Spoiler alert: It didn’t. In fact, within less than half an hour, the whole thing felt surprisingly normal. Which is exactly the point, really.   If you’re considering your first clothes-free beach visit, you’re probably cycling through a familiar pattern … Read more

Body Painting and Naturism: The Symbiose Project

Body Painting and Naturism: The Symbiose Project

Alexis Alexis is the artist behind Symbiose, a project that has spent the last decade exploring the intersection of body art and naturism across France. Alexis treats the human form not as a blank canvas to be “erased,” but as an active collaborator in a dialogue. In this guest post, he reflects on his unique artistic process, the logistical reality of touring naturist resorts, and his commitment to portraying the human body in its most … Read more
