Camping in the Faroe Islands must be a special experience! I lived in the Faroe Islands for two months in the late 90s, and interned at the hospital there. The Faroe Islands are a fascinating society: just under 50,000 people on 18 islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The islands' cliffs are steep, the grass is green and the fog is often thick. So what would it be like to camp in the Faroe Islands?

ShareOur trip to the Faroe Islands
Me and my classmate Eva-Lena, from the occupational therapy programme, spent two months in the Faroe Islands during our internship. Of course, we took the opportunity to look around too! We rented a car at one point and travelled around the two largest islands, Streymoy and Eysturoy.
On another occasion, we took a helicopter ride. We also hitchhiked around some of the islands. Wherever we went, we were met by friendly people. In one place they even opened up a restaurant, which was actually closed for the season, just for us.
Tips on camping in the Faroe Islands
We have never tried camping in the Faroe Islands, but many others have! Arnbjørn Johannesen has told us that camping in the Faroe Islands is great. General information can be found at Official tourism site of the Faroe Islands. Information on the ferry can be found at Smyril Lines website.
My own pictures from the Faroe Islands are old and sitting in photo albums, so I've borrowed these great pictures from Hans Flügge's websitefrom a trip he made to the Faroe Islands in 2010. Photos: Hans Flügge

PS: Maybe it's time to start scanning the pictures from the albums?

Ama de casa, that's nice! And yes, I have thought lots of times about scanning pictures! But we do not have a scanner at home, so it feels a bit complicated ...

My mum has insisted several times that she wants us to come with her to the Faroe Islands. I have been a bit half interested until I saw this post and went to the other links. It looks absolutely fantasticT
Loved both Iceland and Lofoten, so I don't really understand why I've been lukewarm.

Ladies Abroad, glad we could inspire you to the Faroe Islands! If you liked Iceland and Lofoten, you will surely like the Faroe Islands! Beautiful and slightly exotic, in a Nordic way.
