Stuart Hooper

Stuart Hooper is a UK-based naturist who contributes regular features to H&E based on his travels to a wide range of destinations, including Spain, Croatia and Bulgaria.

Our Naturist Life

Based in Canada, Kevin and Corin describe themselves as "a naturist couple who decided being naked was much less scary than wearing bathing suits that never fit right."

Joanna Hawes

Joanna and her husband Trevor are the owners of Emerald Spa in Kraków, Poland.

Colin & Charis Brundle

UK couple Colin and Charis are keen naturists, who have contributed to H&E on a variety of topics, from how to get the most out of naked festivals to the do’s and don’ts of Cap d’Agde.

Brandy Centolanza

US-based Brandy regularly reports from some of her favourite naturist spots in her home country.

Peter Coates

Keen motorhomers Peter and his wife Gill are our ‘travelling naturist’ experts, enjoying life on the road across Europe.

Matt & Megan Sutton

Matt and Megan are the couple behind Nude Beach Maps - a free directory of clothing-optional beaches, resorts and naturist destinations - and its sister project Beach Bums, a members’ space offering extra videos, behind-the-scenes stories, community access and deeper guides to clothing-optional beaches and naturist travel around the world.

H&E Naturist

We’re incredibly lucky to work with a fantastic and growing network of writers, designers, photographers, contributors and opinion-formers from the UK and around the world. They bring different backgrounds, experiences, ideas and perspectives to H&E – and that variety of voices is a huge part of what makes the magazine what it is.

Simon Goss: Designer

Based in the scenic Brecon Beacons, Simon has been running his own design company, SIGGA, for 25 years. As well as turning our wonderful words into attractive and easy-to-read layouts, he works closely with many of our advertisers to help them get their message across in the most effective way. SIGGA also offers a comprehensive design service, so if you’re running a business yourself and could do with a creative helping hand, Simon would be delighted to hear from you. Or how about a nude portrait of yourself, your partner or someone special? Simon has been life drawing for more than 40 years, working in graphite, watercolour, pastels and coloured pencils.

Helen Berriman

Helen is a regular columnist for H&E, British Naturism’s Women’s Officer, and host of the Women in Focus podcast. For H&E, she writes about naturism from a personal and often quite candid perspective, covering everything from her own experiences and travels to the people, places and issues that make up the wider naturist world. Some pieces are serious, some are lighter, but they are always rooted in real experiences and genuine conversations. She says: “The message I keep coming back to is very simple: you do not have to change your body before you are allowed to enjoy it. Naturism taught me that, and I’d love more people to have the chance to discover it for themselves."

Theresa O'Shea

Says Theresa: “I’ve been contributing to H&E for over 25 years. Once a youngish bright thing, I am now an oldish, hopefully still fairly bright thing!” “My news and views column Spanish Eye has been running since 2004, and over the years I’ve also written stand-alone articles based on my many naturist travels and adventures around the world and in Spain, where I’ve lived for well over half of my adult life.” Theresa explains that she never really ‘became’ a naturist. “I just was. At university and in my globetrotting backpacking days, if there were naked people on the beach, I took my clothes off; if skinny-dipping was suggested, I was in there; if the hot springs were clothing optional, it was a no-brainer.”

Julien Claudé-Pénégry

Based in Paris, Julien writes H&E’s monthly Focus On France column, sharing news, insights, travel writing and reflections on the evolution of modern naturism in the country. He also serves as a spokesperson for the movement, authoring books such as Voir la France tout nu (published by Hachette) and the Petit Futé naturist guide, alongside promoting inclusive spaces. Naturism is not about how you look, says Julien, but how you feel. “It is the ultimate path towards self-respect, social harmony and peace with your own body. I hope to inspire others to step out of their comfort zones, shed their clothes and taste this simple, authentic freedom. Give naturism a go: to try it is to love it.”

Naked Wanderings - Nick & Lins

Nick and Lins describe themselves as naturists who love to travel. Or travellers who love to be naked. Either way, since 2017, they have been continuously roaming the world in search of places where clothes are just an option. And for most of that time, they’ve also been contributing an exclusive monthly column to H&E, writing on topics as diverse as making naturism safer for women, what exactly constitutes a nude beach, carbon footprints, naturist villages, and what does ‘clothing-optional’ actually mean in practice. And all of that is in between their entertaining and informative posts on their own website and social media pages on just about every naturist destination you can think of. And several you might not have done yet. It’s a wide and wonderful naturist world. And Nick and Lins have visited most of it…

The Nude & Happy Blogger

Nude and Happy is a website exclusively dedicated to naturism, a unique art of living, promoting self-respect, respect to others and respect to the environment.
