“After his wife died in 1977, Tomas moved in with us. Shortly after his arrival, he packed his bags again to go abroad for the first time. All his life he had dreamt of travelling.”
Costa Bravo Holiday Paradise is a picture-biography made from the travel albums of Norwegian rural farmer and small-scale miner, Tomas Mølland, who at the ripe age of 75 set out to explore the world beyond his village. The story of Tomas’ feats is recounted by his maternal grandson Terje Abusdal, some three decades after his passing.
The book is a standalone sequel to Terje Abusdal's sold out Radius 500 Metres from 2015, where the photos were taken by his paternal grandfather Åsmund Abusdal.
