What does naturism mean to you? Naturism is a way of life, with different aspects. Nudity is for me the best way to realize body-awareness, self respect, freedom and integration in the world through a heightened sense-awareness. I am nude whenever and wherever possible, alone or with others, according to climatological and legal conditions.Nudity in common gives me a sense of equality and respect of others. To me a nude body is more beautiful than an enveloped body.
An important part of naturism is living in harmony with Nature (of which we humans are a part) which implies also a responsibility for our environment.
Time as Naturist/s Since Birth
Naturist Locations Too many places to list
Club / Federation Membership I'm a member of the French Naturist Federation (and as such also of the International Naturist Federation), the Association pour la promotion du Naturisme en liberté, and will become member of the new French Naturist movement as soon as it statutes are recognized.
How did you become aware of ANW? Through the videos of "a Naturist Family" on Youtube (which I like very much) and the newsletter.

About Me/Us I passed my youth and young adult life in the Netherlands where free nudity and organized naturism were (since 1970) and are well accepted. In France where I live actually, rules are stricter, but I still enjoy the naturist lifestyle at home and wherever possible (for the environmental part, that means everywhere!).
Naturism is an essential part of my life, but I'm also a keen naturalist. I love art in all its forms.
