Not as remote as you might think it is Coupled with the stunning beauty are the warm and friendly Faroese, which makes these islands a special place to visit.

What was originally planned to be a 1-day/2-night stopover, turned out to be a 6-night stay, and what a great place to be for 5 full days.

So it is not surprising that there are many new and tasty food adventures on the other side of the Hudson. Blanca… tucked behind the … Read More
