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

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

Public Nudity in Denmark: What Can We Learn

Public Nudity in Denmark: What Can We Learn?

There are a few countries in the world where public nudity is not considered an offence and where, as a consequence, you are legally allowed to be naked everywhere. But what does that actually mean? Can you really wander out of your front door and head towards the grocery store on a sunny Saturday morning? Can you take off your clothes to catch some sun in the local park? Or is this more beach-related?   … Read more

How do you Know if a Nude Beach is Still Nude

How do you Know if a Nude Beach is Still Nude

If you’re following our Destination Clothes Free YouTube channel, or our Nick & Lins short videos, you know that we have been visiting A LOT of nude beaches in recent years. We’ve been to some of the world’s most famous ones, we’ve found true hidden gems, there were the popular urban nude beaches and those for which we had to hike for over an hour to get to.   And then… There were also the … Read more

How nude will you go?

How Nude will You Go?

After publishing our Destination Clothes Free video about Euronat a few weeks ago, we received quite a lot of messages, questions, and complaints about the nude/non-nude ratio at the resort. This didn’t really come as a surprise. If you read the reviews about Euronat, the topic of the (semi-)covered guest pops up quite a lot.   It’s not just the case for Euronat, by the way. If you wander around any other clothes-free resort that … Read more

Why are the staff of the naturist resort not naked?

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
