The archive

The archive presents all articles on this international edition of Sandalsand, 24 at a time. They are sorted in a chronological order.

Use the arrows at the bottom to browse four decades of travels in near and faraway countries. That may be time consuming, even though you can make large jumps. Use the search field here instead, if there is something in particular you are curious about.

Many would prefer to use the menus to find destinations of their choice, special stories about the world, or World Heritage Sites.

This image is from a beach in Norway, but it could have been almost anywhere in the world. By the way, if you want to read stories from Norway, in Norwegian, head for the parallel archive page at Sandalsand Norge.

There is nothing so good for the human soul as the discovery that there are ancient and flourishing civilized societies which have somehow managed to exist for many centuries and are still in being though they have had no help from the traveler in solving their problems. (Walter Lippmann)

A man of ordinary talent will always be ordinary, whether he travels or not; but a man of superior talent will go to pieces if he remains forever in the same place…. (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)
