Everything from 2015’s
This category include trips in the 2015’s, more precisely from 2015 through 2019. 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.
There were so many trips during the 2010’s that I felt it necessary to split the decade into two parts. This, the 2015’s is the second half. The destinations I sought out, were partly in my own continent, Europe. Like in the first half I sought inspiration also in far-away countries. Sometimes it would be a solo trip, and other times with my partner.
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.
