Faroe is nothing short of spectacular beauty, even wonder, captured through scenic vistas and breath-taking landscapes throughout the islands.

It doesn’t look so lovely, defo nearly a lovely place to get away from the rat race and their way of life and health care system is like top notch. Think they even have the best 4G in the world and it’s more like 5G and there very connected. Can’t wait to visit this year 😀
