I stayed in the Faroe Islands.
I stayed in a small turf roof house in the Faroe Islands.
The house was small and had a lot of space.
I didn't want to leave the house because I adapted to the low ceilings and small spaces by the end of the week.
I've traveled to more than 50 countries, but one of my favorites is the Faroe Islands.
I went to show my partner what the hype was about. For months, I'd been telling him about my favorite village, which felt like it was ripped straight from a Grimms' fairy-tale.
We rented a tiny, turf-roofed cottage for a week that cost $187 a night, so we could fully immerse ourselves in this seaside village.
It's hard not to fall in love when you turn the bend leading to this multi-colored village surrounded by waterfalls.
The Waffle Man is one of the reasons why Tjrnuvk is known for its killer surfing waves. He's known for inviting tourists and locals into his home-turned-cafe for his freshly-made waffles, Rhubarb jam, whipped cream, and coffee.
Our home was near a restaurant.
Our tiny home was next to his.
It was a tight squeeze when we entered the house.
All of the pictures in the world can't prepare you for the first time you walk into a tiny house that's over 400 years old.
I was not expecting the ceilings to be so low.
The ceilings and doorways were lower than I expected. They were begging you to hit their heads, which we did many times.
The dining and living area was comfortable.
The galley kitchen and the living and dining room were large and comfortable, even though they were small.
The small kitchen was where we cooked all of our meals.
The steps leading up to the loft bedroom were very steep.
I had to crawl on my hands and knees to get into the bed. If I had to get up in the middle of the night, I sat down and walked slowly down the steps.
I had to crawl.
The turf-roof houses are a local tradition.
Grass or turf roofs used to be used for insulation in older houses around the Faroe Islands.
Traditional and stunning turf-roof houses.
They're mostly for tradition and aesthetic reasons. They cost more to install than a modern-day roof.
I felt like an animal in a zoo with all of the other tourists.
There is grass on the roof of the tiny home.
The village had a lot of tourists.
One of the most popular destinations in the Faroe Islands is Tjrnuvk.
When tour buses or groups of travelers would visit, we closed the shades and people would look directly into our windows.
I quickly learned what it was like to be a local in a tourist destination and developed a new respect for other people.
I hiked along the waterfalls and walked along the beach.
I spent a week in a tiny house.
The living space was large.
I walked around the village, smiling at older locals, watching surfers, and dodging waves on the expansive black-sand beach.
I would take my book and hike to the top of the ridge to see the village, the beach, and the sea stacks. I would jump over the waterfalls and sidestep sheep poop to get a better view of my dream village and the perfect turf-roof house.
The views were amazing.
Although the spaces were smaller than I anticipated, I quickly adapted and didn't notice by the end of our stay.
I'm looking to buy a tiny house.
