Hi I'm Sarah, I am from New Zealand. And like many kiwis, I love to travel. Particularly to places a bit more 'off the beaten track'. So the Faroe Islands were my kind of destination. There is something so unique about the culture, the people, and land that made me want to just stay and keep exploring. I am passionate about photography and writing as this is my means of telling my stories. If you have any questions about my adventures in the Faroe Islands, please let me know. And for more stories, you can also check out my instagram page linked below.

The Faroe Islands - Everything I Was Looking For

After a few months of travelling along the typical Euro-trip route, nothing sounded better than escaping the masses. I longed to ‘go bush’ as we would say in New Zealand. In other words, I was seeking a track less beaten. One with fewer tourists, less concrete, and more prevailing culture and nature. I found what I was looking for in the Faroe Islands - except for one minor detail. A land of no trees On arrival I discovered that there was no bush, nor trees for that matter. This is due to the harsh North Atlantic winds. So I guess I wasn’t going to ‘go bush’ after all. But what the Faroe

Guide to the Faroe Islands - In search of serenity

Living and working in New York, moments of silence and solitude are few and far between. Through the beauty of instagram, I’ve had my eyes on the Faroes for quite some time, and this summer I finally pulled the trigger. I was working 7 days a week as a film producer, and my escape needed to remove quite a few layers of stress, and that is why I decided to travel with minimal planning and minimal expectations. There were a bunch of places that I had on my wish list, and I decided to take each day as it came and see whatever my time permitted me. Arriving on a Sunday proved to offer up a few

When exploring the Faroe Islands, whether as a local or a foreigner, it is almost impossible to avoid the lively vibes from the unspoiled nature and the fierce sea surrounding the islands. After stepping out of the airplane, you can immediately feel the incredibly fresh air rushing down your lungs. One of my favourite places to spend time when I travel to the Faroe Islands are in the Northern Islets - Norðuroyggjar. Let me guide you to Kunoy island.

Driving a car in the Faroe Islands

Many people have asked me what driving in the Faroe Islands is like. Being on the road at such a place was one of my strongest experiences so far, and I have prepared a series of posts about it. Sheep on the road on the way to the old historic village Kirkjubøur. Before coming, I was warned about several things – narrow single-track roads, one-lane tunnels, weather conditions and the most entertaining part of the Faroese driving – ANIMALS ON THE ROAD. There's more than 70 000 sheep on the islands and they wander freely wherever they want. When you're on the larger roads, you will usually s

Our Bachelorette Party in the Faroe Islands

Five women from Iceland set out to visit Føroyar for Ólavsøka - the national days in the Faroe Islands. It was supposed to be an unusual hen night and bachelorette party in the Faroe Islands, because the bride to be hates the traditional dick balloons, feathers, drinking games and the bad dress up! She however loves everything authentic and traditional and has been making her own traditional Icelandic costume to wear for the first time at her wedding. The lady who had this idea of inviting her best friend for a long overdue 30th birthday celebrating and an unconventional hen night had visited

Mykines - the island of birds

Colonies of puffins come to the Faroes in the summer months to breed, and afterwards leave to the ocean. Another point of interest is the lighthouse. Three families used to take care of it. In 1970 the lighthouse became fully automated, and the area became uninhabited. The population of Mykines today is only 10 people. And hundreeds of sheep and thousands of puffins. Cars are not allowed on the island. The iconic lighthouse on

Faroe Islands was my best holiday

If you’ve been following my Instagram, you probably won’t be surprised when I tell you my best holiday was the week my fiancé and I spent in the Faroe Islands in September! The Faroe Islands blew me away at every turn and ended up being my favorite destination due to the scenery, the solitude, the accessibility, and the hospitality.
