Welcome to my next trip report, which will recount my journey to the magical Faroe Islands, a part of the world so beautiful and distinct from anywhere I have ever been.
Faroe Islands Trip Report
Traveling to the Faroe Islands has been high on my bucket list for several years. A few months ago, I finally decided to make the journey. Autumn may not be the ideal time to visit the Faroe Islands in terms of peak greenery and daylight hours, but the weather was very tolerable and there were very few tourists (which truly added to the charm).
My original plans was to fly SAS in both directions, taking the A350 from Los Angeles and returning on the A321 to Newark, but award space never ended up opening on the A350 so I flew to Zurich via Boston, then spent a couple nights in Zurich, which will be a trip report within this trip report. Every time I visit Zurich I love the city more and I enjoyed a lovely weekend there.
On the Faroe Islands I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn, which was easily the best Garden Inn I’ve ever stayed at. A car rental is a must when visiting the Faroe Islands and I will outline that rather unique process.
Here’s what to expect in terms of installments:
