Funningur Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.” – Pico Iyer • • • • • • • • Each time either of us gave up in the middle of a hike or felt remorse about poor weather conditions, a look at our surroundings inspired us to take the next step. That's life lessons right there. And that's what makes us love travel. Has travel taught you something that you apply to your life?

The village of Funningur (on the road to Gjogv) is not only in an epic location, but legend has it that it was where the very first Viking to come to the Faroes settled.
