Imagine arriving on a quiet Mediterranean island… only to realise that everyone around you is naked. That was my experience when I finally agreed to join a university friend on a naturist island in France.In this episode of English and Beyond: Intermediate Edition, I share:My awkward first moments on the islandThe surprising rules (sarongs in the streets if you want, but nudity required on the beaches and hiking trails)The surreal details, like ordering bread at the boulangerie from a topless waitressA short history of naturism in France and Germany, and how it never really caught on in the UKWhat I learned from speaking to other visitors - including one man who overcame body-image fears and found freedom in naturismAnd why it took me a whole week to truly relaxThis is NOT a story about scandal. It’s a cultural exploration of naturism as a lifestyle, told from the perspective of someone who remains very much happier with clothes on.Perfect for English learners:Clear, natural British EnglishEngaging storytelling with real vocabulary in context📖 Want to improve your English even more?
