Thanks!
Thanks Robert! Appreciate the Super Thanks
Thanks for being actually informative as opposed to a lot of narcissistic travel vlogs
Nice place
It's a beautiful island but too cold for me. I'll probably freeze to death in that place.
🤣🤣
Narcissistic travel vlogs. That's the right word I was looking for. Lol
Why are travel vlogs narcissistic?
Woop woop that's my parents cottage in the end... Hope you had good stay there 😊
It was brilliant!
I love it
How is the currency exchange? USD to Krun?

@@ThatGuy-wm3rj Thanks
I don't comment on CZcams 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 CZcams 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
"showing everything it has to offer"...
in the end he said that it is only a short introduction and there s much more to do there. every island has so much more to offer. but i never see anything but the basics in all these videos...
Oh god 🙄 here we go again 👆👆👆
.....there’s always one in the crowd
what do you mean? if you re trying to take this personally, that s your decision. i didnt mean it like that though
Take what personal? I was just giving this guy a compliment on his video & there you go raining on the parade lol
In a respectful way: If u got nothing positive to say, just keep your comments to yourself
ok, seems like we have different tastes in videos. this is a vid like any other about the islands. if that s enough for you, that s ok. it s not enough for me though and i hope for the guy that he experienced more than what he showed. oh, well.. maybe i just have a different taste in travelling.
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.
way to much money is spent looking for lost tourists.
I completely agree. Also to many tourist go wonder off a trail and ruin all of the landscape that the sheep need.
Brutal Frog yes
Hey Andras eg eri eisini frá føroyun
Stop the whale slaughter.
there are about twice as many sheep as people.
Andras Petersen dont know about that...
Not more any more . . .
Is there any dominos KFC or McDonald?
Sidharth Sharma no, but it has burger king
Go Guerilla Foto wales has 3 million people, but 10 million sheep
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.
@@Anna_Solbjerg The farmer there loves people that fly drones!.....NOT! lol
Or you could visit another country that actually doesn't brutalize whales as some kind of pathetic ritual
Halle Snopek i live in the faroe island 😍😂
@@sjuukadoesstuff3536 isnt the whale is on the endangered species list? its a different situation with sheeps
John Zolis , they hunt wales not for rituals, but for food. Try living in the middle of the atlantic ocean during long harsh winters, with little means of communication to the rest of the world, and we’ll see if you’d rather go on a hunger strike or eat whatever nature throws at ya. and what does the country itself as a travel destination has to do with traditions and how people earn their food? If you only travel based on ethics then you might as well stay home cos there is no place on earth people don’t do shady and unethical stuff
This has to be the most magical and stunning islands i've ever seen in my entire life.
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.
I'm from Philippines..in I'm business woman..I was single mam.. with I need to go very far away country to having relax..my self..🏵️🏵️🏵️🌺🌺🌺🌹
Are you faroean
Amazing. You're the man. Looks like a legendary, mythological land.
Three to four hiking trips with food and local town bar hopping is all that’s needed🙌🏾. Pricing but priceless experience
Thank you for sharing this with other people! I really enjoyed the shots and your comments! Again thank you!
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.
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!
This is a beautifully prepared travel video, with captivating scenery (still and moving), excellent commentary, and very fitting background music. Thank you for this glimpse into the Faroes!
Thank you Allan - It was a very nice and respectful presentation of most of the things to do in the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴
Fantastic video, Allan. This has made me determined to visit the Faroe Islands as soon as possible. Nice work
My dad is from faroe Islands and i have Been in most of these places and this video made my day😄
Just planning a trip to Faroe Islands and your video helped me so much with all the great places to visit and all the things you need to book and prepare before. Thank you so much!
Absolutely stunning place!!! Love open air as vast as this,just surrounded by nature!!!
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 ;)
That's so great
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.
Your name looks American, did you change your name or did an American name or smth?
Hey, when do the Islands start turning that beautiful green color? We're thinking about going the end of May. Do we need to wait for mid summer to see the green colors that are in the photos?
आप कोन सी country से ए
Very nice 👍👍🙂🙂
@@sdsskyapp June to Julie :)
It's magical. Mountains have a deep direction which i cant resist. 📷🙏🚘🏞️⛰️🔥
your commentary and voice made this trip ever so pleasant. i also appreciate the comments of others who have visited this area who offered their knowledgeable input.
Thank you so much for the guidance! We are just flying there for a week and your video was incredibly useful!
Now we know where next Tolkiens' book will be filmed 😁
8:50 . This scenery and that background music. I would love it. Man what a beauty.
this was lovely! I love all kinds of islands they fascinate me. the nature in faroe islands looks so wonderful, loved the video!
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.
dude i am indian from india too and you perfectly described some of my wanderlust - dark beaches and blue grey seas. standing by the oceans and feeling something visceral
@@mila8252 wish we were born in Scotland. 🙂
@@arunabhawasthi3745 haha i am happy with india and let's hope we both visit scotland one day!
I am from Scotland and it is indeed a beautiful place. If you want the true experience I would recommend going to Inverness and the highlands. If you go to Glasgow and Edinburgh you will get some of the experience but they are like any other city. Inverness and the Highlands are beautiful and majestic and look very similar to the Faroe Islands.
@@phymat1 thanks for the recommendation. 😊 I would also like to visit Shetland, isle of Skye when i am there. BTW, which is the most beautiful lake in Scotland as per you?
Great video, very informative. I fell in love with the Faroe Islands from following a lady on Instagram who lives there. Beautiful place 💚
Amazingly narrated, does justice to the beauty of Faroe Islands
What a beautiful land! Thank you for the video!!! I heard about the Faroe Islands when I was 3, over 40 years ago and have been fascinated by them ever since!
Very well put together Allan. Packed full of useful information. I've been considering a trip to the Faroe Islands for a while now and this has only increased the likelihood that I'll go! Thanks.
Thanks for watching Julian!
Best Faroe Islands video I’ve been able to find!!
Loved this crash course guide on this beautiful and peaceful spot of the world. Found it to be very informative, excellent video, and well narrated with visual maps on locations and sights recommendations on hikes, costs, and weather informations, and interesting restaurants, what better way is there to explore the culture.
Gosh I’m so glad that I stumble upon your channel. I love the cinemato graphic video quality as well as detailing trip information. Hope you can do more of this all around the world so that we can enjoy the beauty of our planet
Last year I’ve been in Klaksvík and it’s amaazing!! ❤️❤️
Beautiful and inspirational!
Very informative and well put together video. Looks like a beautiful place to visit. Well done.
The views are spectacular!! So good to know especially in places you’ve never been always have to be careful! Looks like you had a great time!
This is a fantastic "Rick Steve style" video, only with a much amazing videography and music. I envy that you were able to do this trip and even without the hikes the Islands feel like a place where one can relax and slow down with their thoughts. Thank you for sharing it. :)
great video with lots of information and places to visit,thanks again buddy
Thanks for watching Wallace!
Dude this was incredibly informative and beautifully put together. Some of the scenes you captured were breathtaking!
Great video Allan. Very useful info given by you about Faroe Island

I'm from Greece but i'm planning to live in Norway but definitely one day i will visit faroe islands

Top Video! Thanks for the description of the best-of-places. This island is definetly worth visiting!
Incredibly well put together, and i can see and admire your effort
I will never visit a place so barbaric, what they do to Pilot Whales is absolutely DEMENTED
Anne Michelle FUCK OFF go somewhere else to talk shit about my country

Thank you for this breath taking beautiful scenery!
this is what I call art . thank you for your efforts and hope you had an unforgettable experience .
It might look like my next year's motorcycle travel destination. Thank you for this video!
Thanks for a very well produced video and guide! Strong content!
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words
One of the top places of my bucket list! Thanks for sharing!!
Great 12 minutes informational and inspirational video, everything is perfectly said!
Im from norway and i have a half brother born and living in the faroe islands. i really want to meet him. Found out he lives in klaksvik :D
Very good little city
Chaldur lies
@@everclear6379 im a little confused now.
weird question but whats his name lol? x) would be fun to get you two connected haha
@@dahm2696 its not hard for me to connect with him. I Even got him as a friend on Facebook. Only thing stopping me is travel money. But thanks.
This was incredibly helpful! My boyfriend and I are going to the Faroe Islands later this month, we will be sure to use some of your tips!
Thanks for watching Theodora! Glad you found the video helpful :)
If u drive pls drive fast. We are going insane on the slow ass tourists
If you're there the 29th I recommend going to the St. Olaf day events in Torshavn.
What you choose theodora...iceland or faroe island
YOU MADE AN AMAZING VIDEO & YOU ARE HUMBLE & HELPFUL.WELL APPRECIATED.LOVE Faroe Islands
Wow!what an amazing view.for sure it will be in my bucketlist
I admit that you inspired me to think over visiting this unusual land.
you really have done your research. Even though i'm a local, you seem to know more than me, haha. Very well made video in general. pleasant shots and voice.
Hahaha that is very funny... well, most places i have been in our country, locals themselves dont know much or havent been to touristic places in their neighborhood... 🙂
hey, just generally wondering, since people in your country are so less, don't you get bored? and are there actual movies made? and is wifi good there? i really seem to love this place and i wanna know more about it
Can none locals buy a house?..
Pretty place. Loved that you gave your experience with costs.
I've been feeling a calling to visit the islands for some time, this video might just have done it for me! I'm going to book for next year!
I'm from Norway, but I'm half Faroese so I have been there quite a few times to visit family.. It's so beautiful :))
I love the sheep there cause there were some fenced in near my grandmother's house and they were my best friends that summer
How i wish to go in faroe island
I'm from Philippines.. business woman am single..I need Tobe going relax in hopefully someone else who look in apresieted my beauty.. special I'm godly in honest by fear of God..🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺
it's just an amazing video just on the eve of my trip there. Very useful and professionally done. Thanks a lot to the author !
Thank you Anna! Hope you found the video helpful
@@AllanSu more than helpful. could you please tell how many days u were there?
@@annamatyuhina2277 I was there for around 3 days. It was a little hectic, as I tried to squeeze as many activities as I possibly could into each day. So I would probably recommend 4-5 days for most people
Breathtaking ♥ It has a magical effect..
Thank you so much for this video. I’m planning a trip to The Faroe Islands and this is very helpful.
Man I hope to visit here one day. We went to Ireland and this seems similar but MORE epic. I want to go!!
I'm norwegian and have had for a while a fascination with the Faroe islands (Færøyene in norwegian), for some reason. I think it has to do with the mystique around these little known islands (as compared to the more well known Iceland) and the fact that the language and culture is very similar to my own. Compared to icelandic I find that I can actually read and understand a lot of written faroese! Will probably take the ferry from Denmark when possible!
Great video!
Sir
You covered so many usefull information in this video, really good job.
Much appreciated. Very interesting and motivational guide.
I went about a month ago. The cliffs of Vestmanna were incredible.
yes, very surprised Vestmanna wasn't included in the video
Ahhhhh hettar er tann besta video um føroyan eg havið nakrantíð sæð! Hettar er mega gott fyri fólk sum kanska vilja vitja føroyum men ikki vita hvat man skal hava við ella hvat tey ikki skulla gera! good job!
Dear allen, after seeing so many travel documentaries on youtube i can firmly say that u do one of the best job n it clearly shows ur passion for travel n taking beautiful videos..thanx for sharing it wid all n inspiring us. Love frm india!
You are a gifted cinematographer. I love your photos/clips and narration. You have an excellent eye for detail and are respectful to each country/culture. So many CZcamsrs are arrogant and clueless. You are excellent at doing this work.
Wonderful, I love this nation!!! Hello from Italy!!
Thank you for watching Giuseppe!
@@AllanSu one day , I'll go in your country!!! for me is like a paradise.. :)
@@giuseppeciancia4205 he doesn't live in the faroe Islands
Thank you for recommending safety and for reminding people to use guides when hiking. Very good information in this video and beautiful shots from our beloved islands 🙂
Nice video, thank you for not making this one long selfie as so many other travel videos have done. This was artfully filmed and the information was useful. Thank you!
This is really the most amazing place...a lot of breathtaking views...I love it😊
This was such a beautiful video! I live in Canada, however a large portion of my family is from/lives in the Faroe Islands. I haven't had the chance to visit them, but this video certainly made me want to book a ticket ASAP! 😊
Kristin Haley I hope you get to see them someday soon
I'm hoping to find my true love from Faroe island I love this country so much ❤️
Gehigona Ni ta bia photei debi
Your videos are the best!!! Seriously!!!

Great introduction to these amazing islands!
Oh my god. I just discovered your channel today while randomly researching the Faroe Islands. I've watched a few of your videos now, and your channel is now one of my favorite things to watch. Thank you SO much for making such beautiful videos!
Thanks!
Thank you for the super thanks Carlos. Much appreciated
I hope so that before I die, I can visit this beautiful place. I really love to travel this place😧.
Actually it was quite comprehensive and fun. Really enjoyed it!
words cant describe. just wow. i hope that one day i can go and learn about the history and see all the gorgeous land scape
Love ur Videos 👍🏼
Thank you Jasmine!
I live in Iceland hopefully someday I will visit Faroe islands although the nature seems similar
If you ever go to europe by ferry, you can do a 3 day stop-over and continue with the next ferry.
Eva. Yes it is, both nations kill whales!! I’m not saying you both condone it though. It just hurts that’s all.
Incredible video my friend, thanks for all the tips!!!
My boyfriend and I used your Faroe Islands and Iceland videos to help plan our trip two weeks ago. Awesome overview! Missed the puffins on Mykines. It was a little too early. So beautiful! Also went to Gasadulur, Seal Woman, Kallur lighthouse, Tórshavn, and on the ferry to Mykines we were able to see Drangarnir. Got beautiful photos. Every hike we went on we would say, “Allen and his wife were here too!”
I want to gift this trip to my bf
Hope I can do this by 2020😍😍😍
well, that didnt work out it seems
and if you did make it before the virus i hope you had a good time
Well put together. Thanks for sharing your experience! Faroe Islands is on the docket for next year!
Thanks Wyatt! You definitely won’t regret paying the place a visit. Unreal landscapes
Incredible guide and very informative!! Thank you so much for sharing!! I love you!!
