Haha, that probably applies to those who don't have a motorhome 🙂 .
It must also mean that people have more money to spend, because it can't be that cheap to go to Mexico, Cape Verde and the Dominican Republic, or am I "sailing"?

Maggan and Ingemar, no, but of course you are right and not everyone has the opportunity to go that far. But considering how many Swedes go to Thailand every year, one can perhaps imagine that some of them have dared to change their destination...?

I can only agree. When you read about travel and search for yourself, it goes in the direction mentioned above.
Was in Berlin just a few weeks ago and I really came to love that city. Great that one of my best friends is now moving there in December!

Interesting! And I really agree that you should spread out your holiday a bit more and not leave Sweden in July when the weather is at its best 🙂 .

Ellinor, we've been wanting to go to Berlin too! But we haven't been there... yet.
Sara, yes, this year we have also done that and spread out the holiday. For example, we went to Iceland for a week in September - nice to have some holiday left when autumn comes!
