    Thanks for being actually informative as opposed to a lot of narcissistic travel vlogs
  • @hansjd
    Woop woop that's my parents cottage in the end... Hope you had good stay there 😊

    I don't comment on Youtube often, but now I have to: I really appreciated this video! Calm, yet fluent and precise narrative. Informative graphics, superb visual representation of the places, still leaving something for people to explore themselves. Nice flow and coverage, but not too exhaustive nor long. Just perfect! Oh, and I don't typically subscribe easily....but now I did.

    Around 7 or 8 years ago I was drinking late at night by myself & was exploring the corners of Google Earth when I ran into this island. I was fascinated by the images I found back then & knew that unless I was very wealthy I would never get a chance to go there. What are the odds that my girl asked me today where is the one place I would like to live in this world & I happen to run into a video that you posted this month showing everything it has to offer. Thanks dude, you gave me a huge peace of mind by seeing this. I’m amazed at how YouTube has allowed people to connect and see things like this (Coming from a man who lives in a small town in south Texas) 👌🧐 great video
  • @ghoulofmetal
    people have been getting lost all the time. Faroese people dont go hiking unless they know the area, so tourists should always have a guide. It can easily go wrong.
  • @yellow-t6074
    This has to be the most magical and stunning islands i've ever seen in my entire life.
  • @hallesnopek6133
    I first found out about the Faroe Islands a little over two years ago, and ever since I’ve wanted to visit there so badly. Hopefully one day I can go.
  • My SO and I spent 6months travelling accross Europe, and the Faroe Islands definitely stole a part of my heart - the views are breathtaking and serene. We hiked along some of the footpaths and encountered sheep all along the way. I recommend for visitors to go to the art gallery (Listasavn Føroya) in Torshavn as well as the National Museum of the Faroe Islands in Hoyvik to see beautiful local art and have a better understanding of the Island's history. We visited by bus when we came in 2018, and it's worth mentionning that the bus schedules are built around locals needs(which is normal), therefore if you take more then one bus to get to your destination and you're heading outside the city when locals are heading in for work, school, etc you may have to wait a little while to catch your second bus - so plan ahead ;)
  • I am from India and i wish to visit and experience this place some day. Its probably the most beautiful place on earth. I am specially fond of dark beaches and deep grey blue seas. Standing on one such beach would feel like standing on the edge of the world. Totally surreal.
  • @chaitya6643
    8:50 . This scenery and that background music. I would love it. Man what a beauty.
  • @sincyfavfan
    Three to four hiking trips with food and local town bar hopping is all that’s needed🙌🏾. Pricing but priceless experience
  • @Kajerman
    Very nicely put together with clear information. Sure, some of those names were butchered but you even showed it on a map with the names so it was always clear what places you were referring to. Great to hear you advise people to have good hiking gear (if they wanna go hiking). Sadly, we've had quite a few people going out hiking without really checking the weather forecast or maybe asking locals for advise and they've gotten lost in the mountains because of fog. This has led to numerous rescue missions, even using a chopper. Some tourists have even died from slipping and going off the edge. Most of whom were experienced hikers from other countries. So to anyone reading this. Please be careful and if you've talked to a local and said you'll be back then please get/give a phone number so you can update that person if anything changes. Just to name an example... Recently there was a tourist that took the bus and told the bus driver that he was going hiking and asked the bus driver to wait for him when he'd be back. When the bus driver came back for him there was no tourist to be seen. The bus driver then called the authorities because he feared the worst. They searched the mountains for this tourist only to find out that he had left with a couple in a car earlier without ever telling the bus driver. So a lot of resources, time and money was used just because that person asked for help but left without letting anyone know that he left with someone else.
  • My dad is from faroe Islands and i have Been in most of these places and this video made my day😄
  • @MonaBW
    Allan! You did such a great job with this video! I come from the Faroe Islands but live in the United States. Always lovely to see such a beautiful representation of my home country.
  • @zishanhasan8540
    From the very first day I saw the pics of Faroe Islands I immediately fell in love with this heaven. I just want to leave everything behind and live here for the rest of my life.
  • @trowerhead56
    It was videos like this that inspired me to visit Iceland in 2013, and it was one of the best trips of my life. Good work!
  • @OmegaSoypreme
    Man, what an absolutely brilliant video! Real professional quality stuff. It's an excellent primer for someone like me. This place has been on my ideas list for a couple of years now. I have tentative plans to get there next year, but we'll see what happens. This video has given me so much to work with to start making plans. So thank you very much.
  • Amazingly narrated, does justice to the beauty of Faroe Islands
