The Faeroe Islands, an archipelago of 18 islands with 50 000 inhabitants located between Island and Scotland, are a constituent country of the Kingdom of Denmark, along with Denmark and Greenland. The scope for future for the young Faeroe women seems sometimes limited: an economy based on fishing, a harsh climate… After their studies in Denmark, many of them choose not to return to their country; there are about 2000 “missing” women. Men therefore broaden their horizons to find a companion. Filipino women come to this country so different from theirs, and try to integrate, despite difficulties linked to learning the language and lacking sun. Rosalinda is one of them. With a smile, she shares her thoughts about her life in the Faeroe Islands regulated by her family celebra tions, religious ceremonies, and work in a factory.
