Sleeping Naked in Hostel Dorms when Travelling alone
Since we should be sleeping naked as nudists.
How do you guys prefer sleeping while travelling solo and staying in Hostel dorms. Do you guys sleep naked in hostel dorms? If yes, please share your experiences and give some tips to new nudists like me who might have to travel and stay in such a setting.
I have slept nude in hostel rooms but generally not slipped my shorts off until I am in bed. But when traveling with a small group and get assigned a random roomie, I openly sleep nude from the get go. Rarely had a complaint.
The only hostel experience I had was in Europe in the 70's. No coed sleeping, unless you were married, in which case you had a separate room. The dorms were separated by sex. I saw lots of nude men there. Nobody cared or bothered to cover up. I don't know what the policy is today.
My only hostel experience, Europe in the '80's. I slept naked, as always, undressing by the side of the bed, putting my clothes away, and tucking in. During the night, I noticed the the occasional guy who got up to pee was naked. In the morning, I stayed naked to wash up in the bathroom - I was the only one naked, but got only smiles - and then dressed. My sense is that if you keep it straightforward and casual, and are naked when it's plainly convenient and practical, it's no big deal.
The hostel you're referring to in New Zealand is called Gazebo Backpackers. Always a mixed of nude and clothed. I slept nude in the dorm room there but most people didn't go nude. Anywhere else (other than a clothing optional place) I probably wouldn't sleep nude in a mixed dorm.
