Introducing the next great adventure destination: the Faroe Islands. Despite being part of Europe and (loosely) governed by Denmark, many people have never heard of these eighteen islands about halfway between Iceland and Norway. Those who make the journey will be greatly rewarded with deep fjords, pop-up waterfalls, and bright green valleys. A stunning coastline is never more than five kilometers away. Sheep outnumber hikers on wind-blown trails. While Tórshavn is one of the smallest—and cutest—capitals in the world. Go now. Nonstop (seasonal) flights recently took off from New York, so these remote islands won’t remain under the radar for long.
