Size doesn't always matter--just depends on the destination. We do try to keep group size intimates to allow travelers to have balanced interactions with everyone. Some trips can have 10-16 guests but our resort-hosted trip to hedonism can have over 100 beautiful members celebrating BNA and what we stand for.
Embarking on your first naturist trip can be an exciting yet nerve-wracking experience. First, remember that everyone is there for the same reason - to embrace body positivity and freedom. You're not alone in your journey, and the supportive community is there to make you feel comfortable. Secondly, respect is key. Always ask for consent before touching or taking photos, and maintain appropriate eye contact. Understand that nudity is not an invitation for sexual activity. Be sure to pack essentials like sunscreen, towels (for personal hygiene when sitting), and loose clothing for when you want some coverage. Lastly, engage in the planned activities, converse with fellow members, and most importantly, be yourself. Embrace this experience as a liberating opportunity to connect with nature, your body, and the unique community around you.
