THE FAROE ISLANDS


Enter a mystical world where time stand still and reality seems like a million miles away. Walk into the world of the Faroese.

The universal religion of peace and love resonates off the shores of the Faroe Islands.

The people are happy and music is everywhere.

With a small population of around 46-50, 000, tourism is encouraged with open arms as they welcome music lovers from all over the world and anyone else looking for an escape into a different world.

The Faroese are ancient Viking settlers called the Norse-gaels from the 9th century,who built little villages along the coastline.they made a life out of fishing and animal rearing.

It wasn’t until the 14th century that they came under Denmark politically.

hey are still a part of Danish territory but they are largely self governed.Denmark only handles justice, defense and foreign affairs.

They predominantly speak Faroese,which is a Germanic language descended from old norse.

Yes enter a country surrounded by mystical folklore and norse legends.

Welcome to the Faroe Islands a place that seems like the ultimate fairytale.

a little sneak peak of what to look out for...:)
