Exploring the Faroe Islands: Eysturoy
“A tale of two tourists, illegally hopping a fence and making friends in the process.”
During our two week exploration of the Faroe Islands, we saved the island of Eysturoy for last. We had more interactions with people on this island than we had throughout our entire trip, which made those last two days our most memorable. We also stayed in the most unique lodging — a converted boathouse, complete with composting toilet and a bunker bedroom. Believe it or not, that AirBnb in Lamba was our 2nd favorite lodging of the entire trip. We had floor-to-ceiling windows and a giant wooden hot tub with unspoiled views of the ocean and the most amazing sunrises.

“The remotest place on Earth can sometimes be the most attractive place on Earth especially in times when our belief in humanity is lost!” ~
It has been two months since we returned from the Faroe Islands, and people are still asking me “why did you pick that place?” I keep coming back to the same answer: because it was so remote and so different from anything we’ve ever seen. The last few days of our trip were the most remote of all, as we traveled across the large island of Eysturoy to the smaller northern islands of Borðoy, Viðoy, and Kunoy.
