The opinions about whether or not naturism can flourish in Brazil tend to differ. One side claims that due to the fact that Brazilians are already known to wear as little as possible at the beach it should be easy for them to also leave those last square centimeters of fabric behind. The other side will tell you that it’s just those little patches that make the step so difficult. When you’re only cherishing little, … Read more
We had very little idea about what we were going to find in Uruguay. When we traveled extensively through South America about 6 years ago, we somehow had forgotten about this little country. Lonely Planet doesn’t mention many world-class highlights and at the time we just followed the main sights of Argentina, only to notice that we had skipped Uruguay when we were already enjoying the Brazilian coast. This time we had some nude … Read more
Where can you find the largest naturist resort in the world? YES! You’re right! In Argentina. How did you know this? You didn’t, did you? No worries, we had no clue either until we started researching naturist places in Argentina and stumbled upon a 1200ha (this is not a typo) naturist resort called Yatan Rumi. Naturism in Argentina is not exactly a huge thing (yet), but still, they have the largest place in the world, … Read more
The other day we were looking at our Nakation map and started counting the countries in which we have stayed at naturist camping and resorts (yeah, we do that from time to time and we have to admit that it does fill us with some pride). Thirteen! We have stayed at naturist spots in thirteen different countries, spread over four different continents. Pretty cool, right? And then we noticed a blank spot: Belgium. Our … Read more
Sometimes we use the term “naturist resort” or “naturist camp” or “naturist place” or “naturist spot” for places where life is lived at the bare essentials. At least clothing-wise. We prefer not to use “naturist colony” because we feel that it gives a bit of a negative undertone to nude recreation. And sometimes we even use “naturist domain”, a pretty nice term if you ask us but after this blog post, we will, unfortunately, have … Read more
Just like Belgium, Canada has also a French-speaking part: Quebec. It had been our plan from the beginning to try to divide our bare time between Ontario and Quebec, the two Canadian states with the most opportunities for naturists, and the time had come for us to move on and try to remember our best French. Something that would prove to be not as easy as we initially had thought. All nudist resorts in the … Read more
A lot of what we had heard before about Canada had come true in and around Toronto. This had proven to be the perfect starting point for the Canadian lap of our big journey. We had experienced our first nude cruise and went to the world-famous naturist resort Bare Oaks. But what we were still missing was that great wilderness. The one we used to see on National Geographic. Lakes, forests, snow-capped mountains, and the … Read more
The concerns we had about what Canada would be able to provide us when it comes to naturist opportunities were already blown away when we met Attila, our host for the first days, who showed us what everybody meant with “the Canadian friendliness”. Our second day in the country we already had the opportunity to meet about 50 Canadian nudies during the naked cruise on Lake Ontario and we instantly knew that we were about … Read more
When we walked through the gate of The Oriental Village, the only word that immediately came to mind was: “WOW”. What a beautiful place, something we could have never expected when the taxi driver dropped us off in front of the building at the end of the road. Maybe it was the tropical garden that did the trick or maybe it was the nice row of white cottages, but we felt that it was something … Read more
NOTE: There is a 2023 version available of this blog post HERE. Although we’ve had a wonderful time at Phuan Naturist Village, we can understand that if you want to spend your holidays in the middle of the action ( or in our case, blow a load of money on wine and delicious Belgian food at the amazing restaurant Patrick), you do want to stay in the center of Pattaya City. And that’s exactly … Read more
