What is naturism? It’s one of the questions that popped into our heads when we were watching the sunset one night. We were all alone on an island at the coast of Australia. No phones or computers to distract us. We had snorkelled, sunbathed, and just devoured our one-pan dinner made on our one-pan camping stove. Even though we weren’t at a naturist place, we were naked anyway. There was nobody who could stop … Read more
New Zealand has no official nude beaches. Okay, now that we have the bad news out of the way, here’s the good news: New Zealand is one of the few countries in the world that don’t have specific laws against non-sexual public nudity, making every beach a potential legal nude beach. Of course, this comes with a side note: You are allowed to be naked anywhere as long as your nudity doesn’t offend anyone. … Read more
Sydney has three official nude beaches, and if that isn’t choice enough for you, there are three more that are not officially recognised but nude nonetheless, and then there are another two official nude beaches at about an hour’s drive from the city. Are you confused? Well, we were when we first tried to create our naked itinerary. So for everyone’s convenience, here’s a map: That is a lot of nude beaches for one city. … Read more
Around 10 am, the first guests start arriving. Some still looking sleepy, recovering from yesterday’s night out, others already enjoying their first beer of the day. Most are roughly between the ages of 25 and 50. An Uber arrives to drop off the DJ. Several days earlier, she was still spinning records in Ibiza, but she seemed to have recovered surprisingly well from the jetlag. Or she just got very good at hiding it. … Read more
Back in 2018, we went to Asia for the first time. We had been hearing rumours about naturism really getting a foot on the ground in Thailand and we wanted to know what the fuss was all about. What we found were 5 naturist resorts in Thailand and one in Bali that were running very smoothly. It was obvious that this was just the beginning. A lot has happened since then. The number of … Read more
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 … Read more
Naturists tend to be easy-going people. We love to spend our days without clothes, relaxed, enjoying life in the nude. But if there’s one thing we like to complain about, it’s that we’re always stuck to designated areas. Like a fenced-off resort or a very well hidden nude beach that takes forever to get to, on an often dangerous journey via steep paths. Even in your own garden, which you’ve paid a significant amount of … Read more
Naturism and nature have been going hand in hand since the beginning of our wonderful lifestyle (sorry about the word choice, Dan). Today, the naturist travel industry has expanded to nude bed and breakfasts in the city and all-inclusive clothing-optional resorts in the Caribbean. But still, the very large majority of naturist places around the world can be found in a natural environment. Away from noise and emissions and close to the relaxing effect of … Read more
If we had to describe our lives and what we do, we would call ourselves full-time nudist travelers. Or maybe something more poetic like naked wanderers, nude nomads, clothes-free vagabonds, or bare tramps. If you’d be planning to start a blog about nudist traveling too, those are already some great ideas for your blog’s name. Anyway, that’s what we do. We live a nomadic lifestyle, constantly wandering from one nudist place to another. Well, … Read more
Chances are that an invisible virus has seriously messed up your naturist travel plans for this summer. Maybe you were already on the lookout for a new destination, or for another travel period.
