I feel the same way about the Faroe Islands as I did about Iceland a few years ago. Beautiful and majestic, with plenty of landscape love to go around.

Located in the north Atlantic, the 18 islands are what you could call a road less traveled. With a population of less than 50,000 people, the islands aren’t densely populated and there are no where near as many tourists as other locales (hi, Iceland).

I’m daydreaming hard about a long weekend trip here in late summer- envisioning driving around this beautiful country, stopping for hikes along the way and exploring the little villages that dot the islands.

After looking at these pics, can you blame me? All the heart eyes.
