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. Posts with photo galleries from these years are also included in this category. World Heritage Sites are included if the first visit to it was during this decade, irrespective of it being a world heritage or not at the time.
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.
