I love the premise of this group but it certainly hasnt been active in the last five years so now that Covid restrictions are easing, what are your plans? Did you go anywhere this year? Are you planning any backpacking next year? Inquiring minds want to know. :-)

Ill start I still wasnt too comfortable going overseas so this summer I went on a three week motorcycle trip through Wisconsin and naturist friends and I rented a great Airbnb in the northern part of the state so that we could play tourist AND sunbathe AND catch up with each other. I know its not quite backpacking but next year Ill go backpacking in Hungary so Ill make up for it then.

RE:Been anywhere lately?

Just back from my birthday escape to Europe. Eighth time in 13 birthdays. Did a 5 nation tour. Finland , Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark

As for nude time. My host and hostess in Tallinn Estonia have an in home sauna. He fired it up one evening and my hostess steamed. Then my host and i spent about an hour between steam, shower , rest repeat. He seemed a bit reluctant to tell me he did it nude, I assured him that in the buff was totally fine with me.
Part of the 3 weeks I was in a small group tour. Just 4 of us guys, Four nights I shared a room with one of the other guys . A 24 yr old British kid. I was casually nude around him. He did not mind and in fact got more casual about baring all around me.
My last two nights I stayed with a Danish couple I met thru here. So it was no surprise to me that I was greeted bare ass at the door
when I showed up at 8am after me early morning flight . Of course my clothes were in a pile in my bedroom for a couple of hours before
getting dressed to explore Copenhagen. And they would come off at the end of the day after sightseeing.
Amazing countries to explore. Support for Ukraine shown everywhere. My favorite at street side sign in Tallinn " Dear Putin, let's just skip to the part where you kill yourself in a bunker" Sums it up well.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Eastern Europe this year. Visited 5 countries and would recommend it to others. In Prague there was a spa next door, with strong notification that it was a nude spa. We had so many places to go that we weren't able to enjoy the spa.

Those both sound like amazing trips My own is finally within sight and I have my flights booked although the rest will come later. Im heading to Ibiza for a music festival at the tail end of April and while I dont expect to have time to hit a beach, stranger things have happened. But after that the main part of my trip starts Im going to Hungary for three weeks and hope to visit at least to Naturist campground and a spa day hosted by a non-landed naturist club. Ill figure out the details but this is the plan for now. Has anyone spent time in Hungary?
