ICELAND & FAROE ISLANDS! Last spot on the Scenic Summer Adventure ๐ฅ๏ธ! A Road Trip across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe`s last Frontiers. [June/July 2025]
๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ข๐๐ฌ! ๐๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ฆฐ My name is Maria and I am looking for adventurers who love the wild, cold, rough, and untouched nature! Let's explore Iceland and Faroe Island on a cool combination summer trip together ๐ ! ๐ฅ๏ธ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๏ธ! ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ I have been to Iceland five times now - but I honestly just stopped counting by now ;-). Thrice on my own, on a JMT trip in September 2023 and November 2024! We will unveil some of the coolest places of South Iceland and explore seven of the major islands of the Faeroes. It has always been a dream of mine to explore the Faeroe Islands at some point as well. Our road trip takes us to places Instagram-able and loved by all photographers and photo amateurs alike, we go on incredible hikes and enjoy many beautiful panoramic vistas and indulge into a yummy skyr cake in a cozy cafe. Along the way, there are unique sights, lagoons and tours planned, such as hiking a UNESCO site between two tectonic plates, sightseeing in real water caves and visiting the famous black beaches of Iceland. We will cover all the stops as seen on the map below and might go some extra mile for more. I try to arrange a bigger van for our group with enough space for people and luggage. But if we have to drive two cars, it would be great if someone else would agree on driving the second car :-).
๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ Iceland is one of my most favourite countries to travel so far: The crystal ice, the rough stone formations of the highlands, the whistling winds in the mountains, and the beauty of the greenish-golden grass๐. Iceland changes with every day and every season. And I always had the dream to travel to the Faroe Islands as well. But what makes joining me so special? And why come along? Because I have many years of experience as a professional travel specialist for China and travelled to more than 41 countries on holidays so far. I love to meticulously plan my trips and make sure that we make the most of our limited time while on a trip. My previous trip mates` reviews speak for themselves. I can guarantee you that you will not regret. Simply join and enjoy ๐ฅฐ! Besides, I have taken care of all the planning and organization, so that you have a good and relaxed time while exploring this beautiful nordic islands together!
๐๏ธ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ On the Faroe Islands and Iceland we spend the nights in either guesthouses or hotels in twin bed rooms. We sleep one night in a four-bed cabin on the ship while passing over from Faroe Islands to Iceland over the Atlantic trait. I always try to make everyone feel comfortable, which is my highest priority. Please let me know if you would like to request a single room and I will see what can be arranged. โ๏ธ๐๐ก๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ: ๐/๐ (๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ฒ ๐ก๐ข๐ค๐๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ง๐๐, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง, ๐ข๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ ๐จ๐๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐๐ค๐ ๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค๐ฌ.) โ๏ธ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ณ๐: ๐ฆ๐๐ฑ. ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ (๐ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ 3 ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐๐ฑ. 1 ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง) โ๏ธ๐๐จ๐ง-๐ฌ๐ฆ๐จ๐ค๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ If you want to ask anything, feel free to message me in the Q&A below.
