Real Talk:
Despite our attempt at keeping our documentaries as authentic as possible, you are still watching a highlight reel. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting video clips. What you don’t see are the moments spent driving through less spectacular landscapes or some of the challenges we faced. Please always keep that in mind when watching!

Grindadráp
An extremely controversial topic that is closely tied to the Faroe Islands is the traditional Grindadráp. In a nutshell, it is a mass killing of pilot whales, a species of dolphins. Every year, around 700 dolphins are killed in these hunts. As everything happens out in the open, with the shore waters literally turning red, these killings get a lot of international (media) attention.

Frankly, it is extremely tough to separate ‚right‘ from ‚wrong‘ here. In the past, this subsistence hunting technique was vital for the survival of the local inhabitants with the meat being equally distributed among all islanders. As such, the Grindadráp always had an important social aspect, as the local community worked jointly together. There is no doubt that the centuries of hardship, living on a remote, wind-tossed island group, have ingrained the advantages of this hunting technique into the collective mind of the Faroese.

From an outside perspective, killing pilot whales in such numbers seems utterly pointless and cruel, especially as, today, there are sufficient alternative food sources. At the same time, one could ask if there is a moral difference between killing pilot whales, a species of least concern, compared to seals, sharks, moose or deer? Or compared to cows, pigs or chickens held in factory farming, which are killed in the millions, away from the public eye.

No person regularly eating meat is in any position to morally judge the actions of the Faroese.

However, one thing that personally bothers us, is that these killings are defended by calling it a ‚tradition‘. In our opinion, traditions are nothing intrinsically positive. Slavery was once a tradition. Burning widows on a pyre was once a tradition. And female genital mutilation is still a horrible tradition today. Therefore, continuing these mass killings simply because they are a ‚tradition‘ is not a good enough reason. Some traditions are not worth keeping.

Faroe Islands: Sandoy, the Sand Island

Sandoy, the Sand Island, Faroe Islands.

Immediately south of Streymoy's southern point, Sandoy is the first of the five southern islands. As it's name suggests, Sandoy is known for its sweeping sandy beaches and, accordingly, this is one of the most gentle of all the islands. But also here there are truly dramatic cliffs, clearly visible in all their majesty approaching the village of Dalur.
The largest population center on the island is the village of Sandur with a population of about 600. Other settlements include Skarvanes, Skopun, Skálavík, Húsavík and Dalur.

Sandoy and Skúvoy 2022

Sandoy (Sand Island) is the first of the five southern islands that make up the Faroe chain, the fifth biggest of all the Faroe Islands, an autonomous region of the Kingdom of Denmark. It also refers to the region that includes this island along with Skúvoy and Stóra Dímun. As of January 2020, the largest population centre on the island is the village of Sandur with a population of 532. Other settlements include Skarvanes, Skopun, Skálavík, Húsavík and Dalur.

Sandoy gets its name from the large beach at Sandur, and the general sandy soil of the island. It is the only island with dunes.

There are similarly named islands, Sanday in the Orkney Islands, Sanday in the Inner Hebrides and Sandøy in Norway.

At present the Sandoyartunnilin is being constructed between the centre of the island and the port of Gamlarætt on Streymoy. Construction started in 2019 and is not expected to be finished before 2023.

Skúvoy /ˈskʉuːwɪ/ or Skúgvoy /ˈskɪkvɪ/ (Danish: Skuø) is an island in the central Faroe Islands, located to the south of Sandoy.

It is named after the large number of great skua present on the island (who have a habit of attacking intruders). There is only one settlement on the island: Skúvoy on the east coast. There are two mountains: Knúkur (392 m) and Heyggjurin Mikli (391 m).

ABOUT FINDING OUR ADVENTURE
We are Jonny & Hannah and we love to travel! After traveling through South East Asia and starting Finding Our Adventure we wanted to explore more of our own country and Europe. That led to a 2 year van obsession, we watched every video on Youtube we could find and spent countless hours designing our own tiny home on wheels. Finally we were able to purchase our Ford Transit and spent 7 months converting it into our very own little campervan.

THE MUSIC WE USE
We use Epidemic sound for all our music in our vlogs, it is easy and fun to use. Click on our referral link to get a free 30 day trial -
