I Found Paradise. It Felt Lonely

The Faroe Islands have 18 islands and 50,000 people. I saw maybe twelve of them in five days. Standing on Múlafossur waterfall's edge, watching water crash into the Atlantic while grass-roof houses dotted the valley below—it was everything the photos promised. Dramatic. Untouched. Perfect. But perfect is isolating. No lines to wait in. No crowds to navigate. Just me, the wind, and the uncomfortable realization that 'unspoiled' often means 'empty.' The hiking trails were pristine because I was alone on them. The villages were charming because most were nearly deserted. I'd found the world's most beautiful place. And spent most of it wishing someone else was there to see it too. Sometimes untouched means untouchable. Even for the people visiting it. #Travel #SoloTravelTruth #RemoteTravel
