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.

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.
