  Description

  I am a 57 years old, friendly wife and mother of 4 grown up children. We also have 3 grandchildren. My husbond and I live on an small populær Island, Nólsoy, in the Faroe Islands. The ship to Tórshavn and back is sailing several times during the day and evning. It takes about 25 min. each way. One daughter still lives with us here. Because of my work as a nurse, I often spend days in the capital in a small rentet appartment. My husband is a fisherman and is often at sea in summertime and a lot home at winthertime.
  We have a dog, BorderCollie and 2 cats, Cornish Rex.
  About Nolsoy: The most popular Island here and there is a lot if social activities here. A lot of tourists visit here and the famous bar is also here. Maggie’s it is called.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  How daily living in the villages is. Knowledge of our Fatoese food and to preper it. We seldom bye dinners, we eat a lot of fish- and sheepmeat. We will catch the fish ourself and preper it the same day.
  Often in the early mornings you can join a quick schwim in the cold sea at the beach Malarendi - and socialise with the Islanders. Also go to the bar in the evnings. And if I find the time, we can do something special fx go up a mountin.
  Learn a bit of the Faroese language and visit other historical pkaces in the Islands.
  If lucky, you can go in the mountin and help getting sll the sheeps home :)
