Favourite travel items.
I thought that it would be nice to have a look at our favourite companion and travel items. There are many “Top 10’s” or “must haves” or “Van hip essential” lists out there but this is a purely personal list of some things we find essential or just like. Also in no particular order. Towels If you camp or travel in a van for any period of time and you…

Campervan Awnings
Because of the incredible rise in travel costs and the ongoing world meltdown, we decided to forego our usual multi-trip plans for this year and take a four month pitch at our local Naturist Camp instead. This would give us a permanent residency at the site, and even though it’s only a stones throw from where we live, it would provide a permanent vacation location for us. To live comfortably…

Art and Naturism
Two practices that offer me a meaningful way to connect with the world and have lead me toward a deeper appreciation of nature, are naturism and artistic creation. While they may seem unrelated at first glance – one centered on experiencing the body in its natural state, the other on expressing ideas through creative media – both can share a common purpose: to encourage awareness, observation, and a closer relationship…

Terme Banovci – A strange place.
Easter weekend we drove to Terme Banovci in Slovenia. It’s a place we have wanted to visit for a couple of years now but have been continuously putting it off. Mainly because the website was completely incomprehensible! It was attractive to us as it is a Terme complex with the usual Hotel and spa facilities but it also has both a Textile and Naturist campsite attached. So after countless time…

Southern Austria
An outdoor adventure paradise but also an alternative naturist destination. I have lived in Austria for over 10 years and in that time have come to know the attitude toward naturism and the naturist lifestyle here very well. Its a very strange country to try and make your home with some quite ridiculous bureaucratic obstacles and extreme language difficulties. But if you are planning a naturist vacation, its a truly…

A weekend in the Dolomites
Last weekend we decided on a last minute hiking trip to the Dolomites and a visit to two of its most famous landmarks. The weather forecast was reasonable for what we wanted to achieve and as it was possibly the last opportunity before the ice and snow set in for the winter, we packed the van and headed out on Friday late afternoon. The drive from us to the Dolomites…

Camper Navigation
Kenwood DNR 992RVS Camper Navigation Upgrade We have had our camper for 3 years now and it came with a X-zent F270 Navi pre- installed by the manufacturer with full European maps. I knew nothing of this company or device before, and during the 50.000 km of use there was quite a lot of frustrating km’s. The user interface is mildly complicated, the map updates are incredibly complicated and totally…

Secret Waterfall
Near to my home is a tourist hotspot – The Trögner Klamm. Its basically a small road that follows a gorge up a remote valley. It’s a very nice walk but thats pretty much all it is. You are always on an asphalt street and apart from a few spots where you can get down to the water theres not a lot happening. No great falls or even pools where…

Fkk Camping Ulika – Istria
Ulika camping is the last naturist site that we had not visited in mainland Croatia. There are still two on the islands that are on our list but they are quite a distance and logistically difficult for a short trip so they will have to wait a while longer. Camping Ulika is run by Istra Camping and lies 8 km north of Porec on the Istrian coast. The camp is…

Spring upgrades
Inverter First on the to-do list was to finally install a 200w inverter. We already never use or require an electrical hook-up and only ever take advantage of it when we visit a campsite where the electric is part of the pitch cost, but we do have a couple of things that still only have a 2 pin plug to charge. This being the hand-held vacuum, Leela’s camera charger and…
Not all those who wonder are lost…
