“There are two main preconceptions,” says Nick. The aim, the couple says, was to debunk some of the myths surrounding naturism. We went there again and again, and after several times, we started exploring other options – with social nudity, with naturism – and that’s how we discovered naturist clubs, naturist campgrounds, activities, events, and just rolled more and more into naturism,” Nick tells CNN Travel.Ī few years on, they started their blog. “We went there, it was a great experience. The couple went to a spa center in Belgium, where nudity was compulsory. “Quite soon after, we discovered naturism, it was pretty much by coincidence,” says Nick. The De Cortes are both from the city of Ghent in Belgium, where they met and got together about 12 years ago. Since then, they’ve been traveling around France – “because the options are so big in France, there are so many naturist places.” They’ve scuba-dived sans-clothes off the island of Utila, in Honduras, drunk beers in the buff in Portugal and hiked nude through the Amazon rainforest.Īfter three months stuck in the stunning surrounds of Zipolite, Oaxaca, the couple made it back to Europe in July. They travel the world unclothed wherever possible, documenting their adventures on their blog, Naked Wanderings, and a corresponding Instagram account. Thirty-something Belgian couple Nick and Lins are naturists. “But it wasn’t that bad,” says his partner Lins.
“We were three months in, I would say, semi-lockdown,” recalls Nick. At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, Nick and Lins De Corte were stuck in Mexico, unable to get flights back to Europe as borders closed and travel restrictions heightened.
