Travel Dates: 5 -20 August 2023
Faroe Islands.
Adrift in the whirling rhythmic North Atlantic Sea, a different world lingers. A place like no other on earth.
An idyllic escape, peacefully set among lush green valleys, imposing basalt cliffs and waterfalls plunging directly into the wind whipped ocean. The 18 jagged volcanic islands resemble a handful of rocks scattered haphazardly in the deep-sea ocean. Home to mountains of myth, hobbit-like turf-roofed houses and grazing shaggy sheep, these islands make up the perfect playground for the senses.
Located in the Northeast Atlantic, the Faroe Islands comprise 18 small islands, characterised by steep cliffs, tall mountains, narrow fjords – and a population of 50,000.
The Faroese language derives from Old Norse, which was spoken by the Norsemen who settled the islands 1200 years ago.

Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.
Norway.
The exceptional mixture of awe-inspiring landscapes and testing terrain that Norway possesses makes it an ideal place to go trekking.
There is an abundance of hiking opportunities throughout the country, from the gorgeous fjords in the south to the uninhabited landscapes in the north.
Norway will win your heart with its unique nature that can only be seen on foot, whether you're scrambling up ludicrously sheer rock walls as dawn lights up the fjords, climbing Alpine peaks on a hut-to-hut trek in a national park where wild reindeer roam, or putting your strength and stamina to the ultimate test on a long-distance hike in the arctic.

Copenhagen
Copenhagen's name comes from Kopmannahafn, which means "merchant's port." Absalon, the church father of Denmark in the 12th century, built the Copenhagen castle as a fief. Havn (port) was originally a Viking fishing settlement. The town prospered and eventually developed into a commerce hub, acquiring its current name. Its ancient downtown is brimming with attractions, perhaps too numerous to be included in a single city guide. To see the most colorful of them, take a guided introduction walk with AU and appreciate the scenery |

Bergen A World Heritage City The city of Bergen is situated on Norway's western coast, right in the middle of the fjords. The region of Bergen, which includes the city of Bergen, is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage City and as a European City of Culture.
