Ever wanted to go to Faroe Islands? And imagine, what if the virtual tourists could control the movements of the local in real time? Now you can! 😍
Faroe Islands created a new remote tourism tool, completely unique. Now you can interact with a local Faroese, who will act as your eyes and body on a virtual exploratory tour. 🥳 The local is equipped with a live video camera, allowing you to not only see views from an on-the-spot perspective, but also to control where and how they explore using a joypad to turn, walk, run or even jump!
Try it out! 😍

As all other countries in the world, the Faroe Islands has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sunday short read: HOW TO TRAVEL LIGHT AND WHAT TO TAKE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Many of you have definitely heard about those travelling around with one backpack only. How is it possible? What about my outfits, make-up, cameras, batteries, shoes etc? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😅 It's all about size of backpack. Haha. Well, partly, maybe yes. But you can also travel with a small backpack for weeks, and with the right packing - for months

⭐️ Here are some tips from personal experience⭐️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🛍 You can always buy anything and everywhere. Lost sunglasses, ripped a t-shirt, shampoo finished - you can find those things everywhere. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💄 Take only the essential beauty stuff, other - you can buy on the spot. Saves the place, and those things are the pretty much the same everywhere.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎒Pack ONLY favourite clothes that you will definitely wear. Say no to your jeans from last year that you promised yourself to wear one day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👒 Pack only basics and matching clothes. Dont take a rainbow (unless you like it), but basic colours⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👠 Only comfy shoes and flip-flops. One or two pairs of sneakers for different occasions is enough.
👖Wear the largest items when traveling by a plane. More space in bag, and you have your stuff with you.
🌯 If you take food - get a food bag to store all food there.⠀⠀
📷 Same goes for cameras, chargers etc. - store them in a separate bag, and even better spare a section for these in your backpack.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎁 Dont take a paper book, big headphones, big items in general. Check those tiny travel items, like a hairdryer, and get only a small one if needed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Comment below your tips 👇 on how you travel light, so we can make a perfect tips list to make a traveler's life lighter 😅
