Everything from Travelogue
Articles within this category are the most basic of all articles on Sandalsand. A travelogue is a story about a journey or trip to a specific destination. Seek them out in the Destinations menu. The travelogue category also works in combination with the decade categories.
A travelogue may be very detailed. Some of them are based on diaries written at the time of travelling. Other travelogues are very basic and relies on photographic material. This is sometimes due to the level of inspiration I had when I wrote the article.
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.
I build the rest of this website on my travels: Pictures, videos, World Heritage Sites and the very specials. You will find these keywords in the menus.
