Op tientallen locaties in het land konden belangstellenden rondkijken. At dozens of locations in the country were interested in watching. Het is volgens hem moeilijk een schatting te geven van het totaal aantal bezoekers. It is he difficult to estimate the total number of visitors.

De gemidddelde naturist is hoger dan gemiddeld opgeleid, heeft een navenant inkomen, houdt van genieten en staat kritisch in het leven, zegt Kamerbeek. ,,Het zijn vaak mensen uit de zorg of het onderwijs." The naturist gemidddelde is higher than average education, has a corresponding income, love and enjoy is critical in life, says Brook Room. "They are often people in the care or education."

Het profiel van de gemiddelde naturist is volgens Kamerbeek de afgelopen decennia wel veranderd. The profile of the average naturist is Room Beek recent decades have changed. ,,Vroeger waren het vaak mensen die niet rookten, heel gezond leefden en het naturisme bijna als een religie zagen. "Previously they were often people who do not smoke, very healthy and lived naturism saw almost as a religion. Nu kiezen leden gewoon voor de vrijheid en harmonie die bij naturisme horen." Now just choose members for the freedom and harmony in naturism hear. "

I saw this article in the newspaper! It's so good to read this, and a proof that the average guy likes to enjoy in a pure and natural way! The actual newspaper article involed a very big picture of this couple full frontal (which is, even in Holland, quite unique) a nice weather, a perfect promotion for even more people to step outside  and go enjoy themselves!

I think this shows again naturism is ready for a "new" way of looking at the way people experience or how they want to experience it.
In Holland we also see a huge growing amount of people going to sauna's, you can say its normal now to go to one, no one is ashamed for it (i see no reason for that at all..)
I think the old way of looking at naturism is a good bases, like respect and equality, enjoying nature and nakedness, but it should be more free and open and less a culture ruled by middle-aged bearded biology teachers smoking pipe.  with all the respect offcourse, i like biology teachers

For all the Dutchies, there was a documentary about a Dutch family leaving their lives behind and starting a naturist camping in France. The footage will come online soon, i'll post it as soon as we get it. I love all this promotion.
