We are not danish. We are 1300 kilometers away from Denmark. We speak Faroese. Not danish. We CAN speak danish, but it’s not our first language. The books you thought were in danish were not. They were in Faroese. It’s not an island, but islands(plural). 18 islands. It IS a country. We have our own parliament and make our own policies. Our parliament ‘lögtingið’, is the oldest parliament in the world as it was formed in the start of the 800s during the viking age. The Faroe Islands are however within the danish kingdom, as we share a monarch. Denmark only controls military and airspace. Faroese is a very special language as it is very close to Old Norse, because of the isolation of these islands. Just wanted to clear those things up! Very interesting video! ps: your pronounciation of Tórshavn(Thor’s Harbour) and Norðragøtu were terrible 😂

😂😂😂 I told my husband (after yelling at my screen) "someone better let them know Faroe is its own country!" I could not figure out what "noro ragato" was either! Port of Noro is in the Solomon Islands which would be REALLY impressive for a 90yo guy to get to alone 😂

An interesting little explore. I knew as soon as you walked in he was like me. No cleaning lady nor wife in his life. He'd lived a simple, but fruitful life actually thriving well. I too wish to live in a place and community like that, but can't for it's not my home. I saw a video recently where Faroe Islands had China build a new bridge for them so they don't have to drive nor use boats as much saving time. They're really rich today and very safe. I'd love to have been from a nice place with a solid family and community. That is the dream we can't have nor achieve unless one is born into such scenario. They don't have to worry about war, homelessness, and poverty for sure.

Story is bulls**t, house is not abandoned but owned by an inheritor, Mikkjal was not a fisherman but a radio mecanic etc. So either someone has been feeding these guys BS or they are just making s**t up. Do hope they got permission or paid handsomely to film inside someones private home. And also you need a permit to do drone shots like these in the Faroe Islands. You have to keep the drone away from main traffic points and are not allowed to film inside peoples gardens - which they do. So they are breaking quite a few rules in the air as well… local drone operators respect these rules but tourists like these just come in and do as they please - so wonderful guests of our country these guys.

Real estate in the Faroe Islands is extremely expensive. A house of that size costs around 500.000 Euro in Tórshavn, but because of the location of that house, central part of Tórshavn, near the old part of the city, Reyni, the price could easily be double that, despite one had to invest the same amount of more to update/modernize the house to current standards Everything is super expensive on the islands
