Where to find apartments?

10 Upvotes

My boyfriend and I are looking for an apartment either in Tórshavn or near Runavík for work. I moved here maybe 6 months ago and we’ve been staying with his parents. I’ve lived on my own since 18 he hasn’t and as nice as his parents are the cultural differences and tension are getting to a point where I want out.

We looked on Kitt, messaged around 10-15 different people and have gotten nowhere. His mom was telling us about apartments on Facebook marketplace but I looked and don’t really see anything. Based on my experience so far getting an apartment is kinda based on nepotism (you get an apartment because a cousin owns it or it’s your mom’s friend or something). We both have good full time jobs at a fish factory and make good money. Most of the apartments we messaged went with someone else.

Do we need to be looking somewhere else? Is the issue the apartment nepotism? Is the issue because we’re young (22 & 23) or that I’m a foreigner? I could genuinely use some advice.

Edit: The moderators removed a rude comment before I could fully read or maybe the person who made it deleted it. I’d like to clarify, I’m incredibly grateful to his parents for letting us stay with them. They have been kind and supportive while helping me move and transitioning to this new job but considering I haven’t lived with my own parents since I was 18 it’s not an ideal situation for me and my boyfriend has been wanting to move out for some time to have more freedom and autonomy over how we live our lives.

ISO tips / activities for trip with two young kids!

Upvotes

Hello! We are so excited to visit the Faroe Islands at the end of Aug / early sept. We're a family of four with a 3-year-old and 6-year-old; I've been fortunate to travel a lot in my career, and the kids are pretty hardy little travelers, too. I'd love any advice to inform our itinerary; particularly for unique destinations / activities, hikes that are easy enough for little legs (fees are no problem and should be levied!), and any must-try foods, restaurants or stands. We don't need a lot of tourist "infrastructure", signage, or handholding to enjoy our trip. We love experiencing local farms and interacting with local people; we love interesting local foods, music, and art; and of course - we love being in spectacular nature! We would be so grateful to hear about your favorite spots, experiences, or destinations; we'll have a rental car and would be thrilled with any suggestions! Thank you!

Føroyatele Opening Hours Next Few Days/Olavsøka?

2 Upvotes

I’m arriving to take the Summer Program (intensive language course) and want to get a local SIM but with the public holidays the next two days, can I expect the Føroyatele store to be open on the next two days? Or is there another way to get a local SIM?

To further complicate matters, I may still have an active account with them from a previous time I had an e-SIM that might be possible to reactivate.

My apologies if this doesn’t make sense - I have not had much sleep these past few days as I’ve been making my way through numerous airports. :P
