All about the Faroe Islands

Oh, I know, I was so bad when it came about writing lately.
I have so many things going on, I wish I could share everything with you, but I've just never managed to sit down, have a cup of tea and write...
Although soon I'll have 24h for me and to spend it the way I want. As I mentioned before, I'm leaving my job and starting my own projects, including writing. Reckless, ehhh, I know! But that's an other story.

Now I'm here to tell you some great news!
First of all, it's all confirmed, I'm travelling to Iceland again this summer.
2nd: my 3 weeks long journey will include 1 whole week on the Faroe Islands.
So I'm all super happy and excited, but have to tell I'm also nervous and stressful a bit.

I though I have plenty of time to organize, but  these days I'm realizing that I'm totally late... Come on, it's only March, and 90% of accommodations are booked!?
Nobody can tell me, I started to organize in the last minute, I have more than 3 months left!

So yeah, I'm in panic and all my thought are about organizing, booking, checking, reading, e-mailing, asking, organizing, organizing, organizing...
As always, I'm very accurate when it's about travelling. I don't want to set every minutes, but a real adventurous, eventful and memorable journey needs a lot of work. And when everything is ready, when you found out where to stay, which part you visit, what are the must do things, then of course you can fully enjoy you journey and you can let spontaneous moments colour the trip.

That means, soon I'm able to write a travel guide of Fare Islands without visiting it actually. :D
Conversations with me can include only travel costs, accommodation booking, why don't get replies from Couchsurfing:P and of course you can ask questions about the characteristics of all the 18 islands'....;)

If you know Faroe Islands by heart, or if you happen to live there, then I guess you won't read any new stuff now.:)
But actually now that I tell to more and more people about my journey, I keep hearing the questions...

Where the hell is it?
The Faroe Islands are located in the North Atlantic Ocean at 62º latitude North and 7º longitude West, approximately 430 kilometres south-east of Iceland, 600 kilometres west of Norway and 300 kilometres north-west from Scotland. (Now you understand why I'm in love with Faroe Islands already)
Population is about 50.000 people and the capital called Tórshavn.
Autonomy within the Kingdom of Denmark.
Total area is app. 1,400 km² .
And as I mentioned before, Faroe Islands comprise 18 islands. (I guess I won't be able to visit all of them, right?!:D)

So... What do you think? Do you feel like having Faroe Islands on your travel list?

Desire and Rain

I can't get an image out of my mind.
It pops up in the mornings when I open my eyes, when I'm daydreaming, when I have bad moments and chaos around me...
I just so clearly see this.

Me on an early morning with a big cup of tea, wearing soft, knitted sweater, looking out the damp window, it's raining outside, but still, it's beautiful and completely calm.
Indescribable. I just now I want to be there, and that place does exist.

And it's not even something that I don't know where to find...

It's so weird, when you have that strong desire for something. And you want that with all your heart. Really. All my life I was looking for this feeling. I've tried and loved and I still love a million things in my life. I'm proud of everything I've done and what I'm doing. But there is one above everything. And it is to see this amazingly mystertios World, to write about it, to capture moments anyway, ANY WAY.
And time to time when I'm tired, I want to go home and look out that window and just listen to the rain.

Let's say when one day I calm down a tiny little bit, and I won't travel every month, (just every oher ;P)  still have that dream there about my castle hotel and wee cafe. Yeah, it's not a question they are in my mind, just as deep that they evolving to come up in the right moment!

 

I know, and I'm the one telling I'm not too romantic.. What are all these plans if not a tiny bit of romanticism?;) But who cares?!
