Everything from 2010’s
This category include trips in the 2010’s, more precisely from 2010 through 2014. The category works in combination with the travelogue category. Seek them out in the Destinations menu.
There were so many trips during the 2010’s that I felt it necessary to split the decade into two parts. This is the first half. The destinations I sought out, were partly in my own continent, Europe. To a growing degree I sought inspiration also in far-away countries. Sometimes it would be a solo trip, and other times with partner or children.
Travel back in time with Sandalsand. Cut straight to all journeys from the 1980’s, 1990’s, 2000’s, 2010’s, 2015’s and 2020’s.
The publishing dates on all travelogues correspond to the date of the actual trip or day of visit. This usually means that the publishing date is not correct. Also, this means that my oldest trips follow at the bottom of all lists. They are in a reverse chronological order, from the newest to the oldest.
