The Faroe Islands

A few years ago I came across and fell in love with a beautiful little country in the north Atlantic called the Faroe Islands.  Whenever I mention this place to people they either already know about it and love it, or have never heard of the island nation before.  I feel bad for the latter.  I hope we get to travel there and to Iceland within the next few years.

I thought it would be fun to give you guys a taste of this beautiful location.  I'm in utter awe that this place exists.

I'll leave that bit of eye candy with you today.  Pretty, right?  I'm currently on the hunt for a penpal from the Faroe Islands, but no luck yet. :(

Laters!

I think Ryan and I are planning a trip to Iceland sometime in the near future as well. He's got a big landmark birthday coming up this year so...maybe sooner rather than later if I can make it happen.

I've heard of the Faroe Islands before but had no idea that's where they are.

I have 2 friends from the Faroe islands!! They are beautiful blonde, blue eyed, pale people :)
Something they told me that in the Faroes there is not boxed mix for cake or brownies, so they loved easy made desserts in the US! haha!

They really are gorgeous but all I can think about is their yearly whaling festival where they murder so many whales for sport the blood runs red :-/ TOTALLY A DEBBIE DOWNER I KNOW but I'm a sucker for whales.

That said, it would be pretty cool to visit and/or find a penpal there. I love kind of "off the beaten path" places that no one knows about.

I belong to the latter group! I'd never heard about this place, it looks amazing! It reminded me of Malvinas, an island that's all the way to the south. They used to belong to Argentina, my home country, but the British claimed they were theirs, war broke out in 1982 and of course, we lost. They call the islands Falklands and Argentineans are forbidden to travel there. I've always wanted to go!

Looks amazing! Before I got to the map I was thinking that has got to be part of the British isles. Not far off!
