We have joked a lot about petanque over the years, in our blog posts, and in real life. Through naturist history, the balls have become an essential part of being a naturist (pun intended). Every naturist resort we ever visited had at least one petanque court. Often several more. Petanque tournaments are always on the naturist calendar. It’s what naturists like to do, throw a couple of big balls towards a small ball. We’ve also complained about the naturist…
Meanwhile, we’re almost two weeks far in our Big Nude French Road Trip. The main reason why we decided to go on this naturist camping tour was of course COVID-19. We wanted the flexibility of traveling with our own transportation. Not having to rely on trains or planes, which can get canceled any minute. Camping also seemed like the safest option. We would be able to bring our own gear, sleep in our own tent, and naturist camping spots, in…
Pretty much everyone who had planned a naturist vacation in Europe or is still hoping to plan one, is probably following the news carefully. Every country has meanwhile started its recovery plan, some are taking huge leaps while others keep going in baby steps. Countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece are happily reporting that they will receive tourists this summer. But other questions remain: Which borders will open up? Will my government allow me to leave the country? Will…
When you want to try naturism for the first time, the absolute most important thing to consider is where you’re going to do that. Picking the right place is everything. More than once we’ve heard someone say “Oh you’re a naturist? We have been to Cap d’Agde once and it didn’t seem like something for us“. After which they give us a look that speaks volumes. Unfortunately, we can’t tell you exactly which will be the right place for…
Europe is a paradise for naturist vacations. When we look at NUDE, for example, we notice that the large majority of nude vacation destinations can be found in Europe. In fact, even in just the south-western part of Europe. The continent has much more to offer to its visitors than just an abundance of naturist resorts and nude beaches. Within relatively short distances you can find yourself indulged by amazing art and culture, standing in awe in front of magnificent…
This is one of the questions we often receive from first time nudists. They’ve decided to give social nudity a try, picked out a nudist resort which looks very nice and then start thinking about the most scary part of the whole experience: The point where they will have to undress. When exactly does that happen? From when are you supposed to be naked? Do you undress in the car, the moment you’ve passed the gate? Will they tell you…
Summer is here, the temperatures are going up and the sun is out. You know what time it is. All winter you have been waiting for this moment. It’s time to hit the nude beach! Finally! Maybe you’re still checking out the best travel deals, maybe you have just been browsing through one of our Ultimate Naturist Destination Guides or maybe you’ve already decided on this year’s nude vacation spot. But there’s one thing you better consider before placing your…
This is the third and last part of our blog series about nudism and naturism around the world. In previous chapters, we’ve talked about naturism in Europe and nudism in the Americas. These are the regions where naturism and nudism are the most popular and we kept going on and on because the options are plenty. Today will be a bit more difficult so we decided to merge three continents in this last part. Difficult because the options are…
While diving into all the content of our website for blog posts which we could include in our brand new Extended Versions of our Naturist Guides, we stumbled upon several forgotten ones from the early days. One of the first blog posts we ever published was called “Something about Cultural Differences“ in which we talked about nudism in different cultures around the world. When we were reading that post again we felt that something was missing. Although the information…
Spending your summer holiday at a naturist camping does not always sound like the most fun. Unless you’re way in your eighties or your idea of the perfect getaway is spending days in a row singing songs at a bonfire without having electricity, let alone wifi (the horror!). In many parts of the world, and then we’re pointing specifically towards you, Europe and the United States, above is indeed still the general opinion. We carry the burden of the nudist…
