We’ve always loved a good nude beach. Sand between our toes and the sun on our skin. Well, at least for an hour or so. Because you see, we’re not really baking-all-day-on-the-beach kind of people. At some point, we want a cold drink, maybe a bite to eat, and definitely a proper chair. But we don’t really want to get dressed for all that. This is where nude beach bars come in, they’re the best … Read more
Has it ever happened to you that you hike for half an hour in the blistering heat, following GPS coordinates to what’s supposed to be a pristine nude beach, and when you round the final rocky outcrop, all you discover is a sea of bathing suits? If it hasn’t, LUCKY YOU! Unfortunately, we’ve found ourselves in this situation quite a few times during the last month. For example, in northern Italy, we visited 7 … Read more
We all make mistakes, that’s what makes us human. Sometimes, they can become a source of great stories for family gatherings. Except when they happened when you were naked, in the wrong place, and with an angry crowd chasing you. Most of the mistakes below are real-life examples, but only a few happened to us personally. Some of these we actually shared at the family dinner table, but we have quite open-minded families. … Read more
Nick got sunburned the other day. Before you start feeling sorry, wait until you hear where it happened… In the Netherlands. We’ve travelled to some of the hottest spots in the world, places like Bali and Thailand, where the equator is so close that you can almost touch it. We were in Mexico and Brazil. We’ve once been naked on an island in Australia for three days. But no, the sun hit us right in … Read more
“Do I have to be completely naked?” “Will people stare at me?” “What if I do something stupid?“ If you’ve ever been curious about visiting a nude spa but held back by these exact questions, you’re not alone. This is precisely what raced through our heads when we were standing in front of the door of the spa centre. This was going to be the first time that someone would see us naked who’s … 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
To be honest, we have been lucky. We visited 6 nude beaches during the last 3 days, and we haven’t seen any abnormal behaviour. Well, there was this one guy popping up and down from the dunes, gazing in the direction of the naked people, but when you frequently visit nude beaches, you’ll probably agree that just one voyeur can be considered quite a success. Maybe it’s just us, after visiting hundreds of nude … Read more
What does utopia look like for naturists? Ask naturists about their ideal world, and many will quickly reply that it’s one where clothes don’t exist. We kinda agree with this, albeit more for the fact that this would also mean that there would be nice warm temperatures year-round. If not, a clothes-free world would rather seem like a living hell. A more reasonable alternative might be a world in which the clothed and … Read more
This blog post has been sponsored by Riva Bella in Corsica, a top-class naturist resort where your wellness is considered the highest value. Over the last several decades, everything related to mental and physical wellness has been trending. Spa retreats, yoga classes, digital detoxes, infrared saunas, green smoothies, dopamine balancing, we don’t know where they came from but suddenly there was no way to avoid them. What this says about the world we’re currently … Read more
The European naturist season is just around the corner. We can feel it in our toes. And in our inbox, where the yearly steady flow of messages asking for vacation advice is going strong again. We like that, though. As kids, we dreamt of being able to fly, become invisible or read people’s minds. Little did we know that one day we would actually get a real superpower: Helping people find great destinations for their … Read more
