- Finding Love in the Faroe Islands: Confronted with a shortage of women, men in the Faroe Islands are increasingly seeking wives from Southeast Asia. But what's it like for the women who swap the tropics for this windswept archipelago?

“I think Faroe Islands is the last paradise on this earth.” Grace is one among hundreds of Southeast Asian women who have moved to the Faroe Islands in the past decade. Seeking love, opportunity and prosperity, these women also plug an urgent demographic gap in the North Atlantic archipelago, where there is a significant shortage of women. Mary Joy moved from the Philippines when she was just twenty after marrying a Faroese man. Despite steep adjustments to the language and climate, she is now happily married with three children and a fourth on the way. ”My life is all as I planned.”

As a Filipina myself, I can confirm that there are a large amount of Filipina who seeks for foreigners to get a better life or in short to get hold of their 'green card' mainly because to support their family or something like that (Filipinos are family oriented) but who I am to judge them because I've never experienced poverty, I should be grateful for what I have.
Yeah. My wife is Filipina and she confirms this 100%
Yes i agree that filipinos are 100% family oriented people. I dont support filipinas using older white guys to have a better life and in the end cheated em and rob their money. I have a white husband i marry him because i love him not for the money. Plus hes not old. 🙂
as long as you do not call it LOVE.
I m Indian I worked in Kuwait 5 years n i fallen in love with one filipina she was single mother of 2 kids 5 years i had been in relationship with her.. she was a housemaid in Kuwait only 1 time we met in real n i always stand behind her that time n I took care her kids also as a real father n took care whole family even i wanted to marry her but she always replied Mahal still i m not ready in 2019 i cancelled my visa of Kuwait that time she back to the Philippines n living there .. then next year she went to the Taiwan n she had a relationship with her local man n went with him n break relationship she cheat me i suggest all the foreigners never trust filipina... Dhe ruined my whole life i will never forgive her even i will die...

Most of the commenters here don't understand that Filipino culture is very indirect and more feelings-based rather than appearance-based. "Love" is not equated with physicality but the willingness to sacrifice and give your family (including your husband/wife) a good life. Also, it's a usual thing in our culture to say "living with someone for 20 years is not enough to really know him/her". Saying that "my husband is just okay" or "I have no choice but to like him/her" is just standard Filipino humor, self-deprecating and indirect as opposed to European directness.
I marry the lady. I didn't marry her family.
@@nightowl7261 in many cultures, that's how it works. It is used to keep the foundation of the family strong and united. Closed-mindedness like the one you displayed in your comment is the reason many people are reluctant to marry others from different cultural backgrounds. You are probably from the West.
@@SilvaArmour3000
Like I said.
I marry the lady. I didn't marry the family.
@@nightowl7261 Once again, thanks for proving my point smh
@@SilvaArmour3000
Once again.
I marry the lady. I *did* *not* marry the family. Smh
my brother married a filipino and she wanted to sponsor her nephew, after a few months he realized her nephew was really her lover, so if you marry one and they ask to bring family over, dont, he tried to get her deported saying the marriage was a scam, but he failed
wow, that is heartbreaking just goes to show that you should really not just accept any woman
Brutal
I am Indonesian and living in the Netherlands. I like Faroe Island......very peaceful. I hope those Asian women are happy there. 🙏
This situation is neither good nor bad, its simply human. Both parties want something, some people give more and some take more. My experience is that when two giving people meet they can have a very rewarding relationship. Takers can never be satisfied and will be unlikely to have a happy and durable bond.
Amshaz Mohammed Bingo. This is also why I've sworn off western women.
True
Can see this situation in many places, many young girls/women from Japan and Sth. Korea, Europe, Australia etc., go to the beaches on Bali searching for their gorgeous hot beautifil body Bali beach boy. These boys (from 16 years old up) parade themselves up and down the beach wearing tiny boy bikinis or tiny G string bikinis. Most can speak good to excellent English, many have read some magazines on how to win/pamper a lady. Many of these boy strike it rich. And there's often a Balinese wife and kids at home getting the benefits of daddy being a hot gigolo. I was sitting on one of these beaches waiting for my son to finish his surfing lesson. A slow day for beachgoers, didn't take long for 2 Bali beach boys to offer their services to me. Always polite and pleasant, very clean, always well groomed. This is life.
"love is sacrifice" - true words.
that lady who uttered these golden words obviously spoke from experience. she sacrificed a chance for love in order to give her children a better life. beautiful.
In 2017, Muhammad replaced William in the top 10 most popular boys' names in England and Wales. The research concluded that name has risen 35 places in the last decade and was at the eighth spot in 2017, with just taking two more years to become the most popular name in the UK.
@@stephennicholas1590sooner your country will be under sharia law ...islam will devour you alive with their crooked religion
Yes and no, isn't it? The children watch--what do they actually learn? That Mom "sacrificed"? Maybe, but IF she married for money and stability ONLY, do they also learn she sold herself? Is THAT a good thing to learn? Again, yes/no.
It is so indeed!
I think what she meant with sacrifice, was she left her country and relatives and friends in the PH to be with her husband.
I’m an Indian seafarer with a Filipina wife. About 23 years back I visited the Faeroe Islands on a small Reefer ship. I have just two things to say, if you marry the right Filipina, you are so so lucky, and the Faeroe Islands are among the most beautiful places on earth, with the most friendly people!
@Ron Dale I had not thought about that, but seriously - im sure that there are enough Nordic women around, and if they are not you should be focusing on encouraging them to stay in the Faeroes!
@Ron Dale I doubt a few Filipinas integrating into the population will change the Nordic ethnicity of the Faeroes. You have a shrinking population skewed towards the elderly, this might just make the difference in giving you a younger more vibrant mix.
A big shortage of native women is a big tragedy for a society. And it is so in many outlying places here in Scandinavia. And not all of us scandinavian men are only happy because we must get a wife from a poor country in South East Asia who are darker than us and with another culture. But the alternative is to live single all our lifetime. And without women no life. Sad but true. The word is brutal. I love my filippina wife and our two eurasian children but I still think is sad that our future in outlying places never will be a pure scandinavian culture in the future. But we figth for our oulying places and we want they shall live also in the future.
@@drdal Change is the one thing that is constant in this crazy world. I think that with the way things are going no place can live in isolation. However it is up to you as parents to instill the Scandinavian culture, regardless of the mixed ethnicity - and you have the mix of the fun part of the Filipino culture - so I still consider you lucky!
OK then, what ode the "right Filipina" look like, does she have a label or tag? :-)
Would have liked for them to talk to the native women as well. A first hand perspective from the native women would have been excellent as to why they are leaving and how they feel about things in general
Lovely story - my mother was from the Faroe Islands but landed in mainland Denmark and fell in love with my Danish father. That was before Faroese was considered a recognized Danish language. She loved it when the Faroese got their own WRITTEN language and received letters from home with her own language which she had to adjust to. She loved it!
I visited my family first time when I was 11 in 1956. The nicest family you could only imagine! I loved her temper - when she was angry she stamped the floor, never blamed us kids :-)
I magine that coming from Asia like here must have been more than difficult. But my mother was very satisfied, although missed her family in the Faroe Islands.The first time for you from Asia to Faroe Islands must have been enormeously difficult - EVERYTHING new. (No written Danish until later Faroese)
The Faroese are the most caring you can imagine! My brother and I LOVED it when she was angry stamping on the floor - they have a temper - and the most caring you will ever know! Now I am 77 - she taught us so much love!
The women saying they want a less patriarchal husband, the men saying they want a woman who's more of a traditional woman. Funny that.
I think that was a prepared speech in case somebody asked that question. But in reality, they do have a patriarchal setup.
yrs the ONLY reasonably INTELIGENT Comment The women saying they want a less patriarchal husband, the men saying they want a woman who's more of a traditional woman. Funny that.
DIScuss that with me please
i would like that
well to be fair, they didint say they wanted none patriarchal or fully traditional, but less and more, aka in the middle. but it does at first glance looks ironic and complete opposites of what they want lol.
At the end they all get what they wanted, for islanders can't be that patriarchal as the men back at their home.
The "less patriarchal" woman was married to the nerd guy. The swinging bachelor was the one saying he wanted a more traditional woman.
I have never heard that island before and got interested to know more about that island and the people. It’s more laid back there and peaceful. I myself a Filipino living here in California who wants a quiet life. After this I will google Faroe Island and check
Islandssssss, it’s an archipelago 😉
Google the Phillipines and check
It's very casual here. Most people don't even lock their doors. Even if they go abroad on holiday
Leaving poverty to start a new life with opportunities that are not available is wise. Everyone wins in this scenario. The Filipino definition of love is not the same as the western definition of love. True love is not a fleeting emotion like westerners think. True love is a commitment, a word that western women ignore and despise. People that criticize her choice are just selfish. She is happy, why can't you be happy for her and with her? She would do it all over again in a heart beat. That is love. She appreciates her husband and respects him. She is far wiser than the people here that criticize this story.
you get it
Keep telling yourself that
Correct. This is family. Live together, improve each other's lives, enjoy your days. This comment section could be a phycology thesis paper. My guess is that people in longer-term healthy relationships all agree with her decision. Single people looking for "love" or people jaded and possibly in a bad relationship think she sold out for money.
jajaja jajaja she was a gold digger
Honey, what you describe nothing about love! It is cartel agreement!
I married an intelligent independent professional woman who was from China. She was never in need of being saved, by me or by anyone else. Yet that assumption persists sometimes in the eyes of strangers.
It’s a tiresome cliche.
Sadly there are people that do and instead of being nasty and judging we should try to help to avoid such things.
Ms Grace, Do not destroy the image of your country where you had your roots. Just because you are now in a place you call paradise. Be considerate enough to the people who love to stay here in the Philippines and proud to embrace the Filipino culture. Maybe you came from a place that wasn't conducive for a healthy and peaceful family life for you. IT is not dangerous in the entire Philippines( with 7, 107islands)We live here in harmony and peace with the authorities .We are not deprived of the basics things in life and that makes us contented. I love my native land my Philippines 🇵🇭

Same comment. Napunta lang sa Faroe, nilait na ang Pinas.
@@tonyp2601 Inggit lang kayo.
It's very hard to learn a foreign language, but the fact that she made an effort to be fluent with Faroese's mother tongue to have a better communication with the people around there is enough proof that she's well dedicated and passionate not only to the island and its language, but also to her husband.
The girl who married at age 20? She's been there for almost 2 decades already, of course speaking the local language has become 2nd nature to her as well
@@fredtacang3624 their language is one of the hardest in the world mind you
@@ladyramen7655
2 decades is not even enough to learn it?
@@fredtacang3624 did the guy Filipino then?
@@mjcortez2460
Are you asking if the husband learned the filipino language? Do they live in phl to begin with?
Many foreigners who settled in phl and can speak the local languages (tagalog, bisaya etc). You can even check some of their vlogs on yt lol
Thats the key context there, where they settled determines their spoken languages as well
As a Filipina, I am embarassed of many Filipina women who forever stained our reputation as women - relying on a foreign man for economic salvation, bad mouthing our country - I am a proud Filipina, earned everything I had and enjoyed in my life. And no, I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth and worked my butt out to prove to other cultures that we can and we are not less than anyone else. I hope everyone can do the same.

I don’t understand your high and mighty attitude about these people who seem obviously happy. He snagged a bride and she was happy to be bought. Be it for “love” or “survival” they made it work. She has a beautiful family and they appear to be happy. The only person bothered is you.
What’s interesting is your attitude about something that you as a Filipino knows is common practice. Men from all over the world go to asia for marriage and sex and you know it. So stop acting like this isn’t common practice in the Philippines. Please 🙄

I just watched another one of these videos, and one of the ladies dead ass said when she was dating her husband he told her where he was from and she thought she was gonna live in the pyramids 🤣.
I feel sad when they said.. PHILIPPINE IS A DANGEROUS COUNTRY.. Our country is not dangerous maam... We have beautiful places and beaches...
Yes it is..
Almost everyday you can hear news of all sorts of crime.
Children being raped and murdered, snatchers, all sorts of scam, noisy neighbors, drunkards etc..
Journalists being murdered and politicians trying to kill each other during election time.
Home is where the heart is. Faroe Islands is pure delight and soooooo pleasing to the eyes and ultimately heart. I have applied to the Voluntourism and sincerely/hopefully will be selected, leading to ultimately visit this awesome self-governed country.
Hello, Melinda,
How are you doing today?
It's a beautiful island. It's slow pace, peaceful, very zen. The scenery is picturesque.
Beautiful video! I admire our fellow Filipinos who live there for their courage and sacrifice. 😍🇵🇭

I just want to mention that my first love was a Filipina. She and I spent 7 year's in a relationship that can be summarized in one word, awstounding. Filipinas really value the idea of love. We had our bad times too, but we always ended up the arguments with a truce. She was loyal and faithful. Unfortunately, due to family circumstances, we were unable to wed. She and I separated because she felt that the relationship has no value any more, especially since we were unable to have a wedding. She still talks to me occasionally, and I always remember our says together. Of course not all Filipina are masterful lovers, some are not. The majority however are good women, and the culture plus upbringing makes them really good companions.
Thank you for that kind words towards Filipina
Filipinas in general are family-oriented. If you're aiming to raise a family of your own, filipinas are a good partner for that
@@tiborzkarate1
Woman's status and looks matter as well. Otherwise, there will be compatibility issues, and the marriage will not last long
They also love $$$

I can say that you interview very well. I really enjoy the way you communicate with out judgement. Life has many turns. Thank you for your show
Very true. a fair kind of interview and video. And this video shows immediately THE INDIFFERENCE and how some people can
give a slur, so fast with their subjective comments, showing more of WHIO THE COMMENTORS ARE . More blessing to you , kind people.
what a great people the Faroe islanders are, my hat off to them they are tolerant n welcoming honest n kind so this makes a lot of sense for Philippino women to be happy there as Philippino women are hard working n family orientated Great to see 2 people from a different culture been happy together n i would imagine crime is almost non existent in the Faroe Islands n that is priceless best wishes o them ALL
Please LISTEN to the video well before judging, and try to be optimistic, Filipina women going there, most of them have jobs, some, real good jobs, plus they take care of their kids and houses, and satisfied with the simple life, Those are good qualities, men in Faroe are thankful for.
Wow😮! I've never heard of this place before. It is breathtaking and beautiful❣!!! I'm gonna visit there! Thanks for the EXCELLENT journalism piece!
Thanks for sharing. It's an amazing place. I'd be happy to see the place myself!!
Salute to these women, I swear I would die in that Island if I were one of them, I hate the cold weather it's so depressing to me, but everything else looks nice specially the place and the people.
At the time of my watching this, the Journeyman Pictures TH-cam channel has 1.55M subscribers. That last 5 represents a number of people equal to the entire population of the Faroe Islands.
Great story. Enjoyed it. Happy for all those people who founded love and enjoyment. Plus the people who made a life for themselves.
This is such a light-hearted story. Candid and hilarious. Thanks for sharing.
After reading through the other comments, I just need to say this to counter all the negativity. I don't think Filipinas who marry foreigners are ignorant of the prying eyes around them and the judgment thrown at them. But I admire them for standing by their man. And what's wrong with marrying to have a comfortable life? Isn't that what most people do? It's just bonus for some because they also get to marry people who fit their description of a dream spouse. Marrying for convenience is not a moral issue. Marriage after all is a contract. Both couples try their best to keep their ends. And the man whether he benefits less or more, made a decision. He consented to it. And the only moral decision he has to make is whether to honor his decision or not.
All the judgments thrown at these women, if you can't provide them a good life then you have no right to judge them.
Also do not impose your morals on them. Your circumstances in life are probably different from what they have. And our lives will be very bland if we all live the same lives. So all who are judging them, I bet you have such boring lives that you even found time to come here and spew negativity.
Finally, I just want to tell the Faroese men thank you for taking good care of the Filipinas who became your wife. Never mind all the invective thrown at you. Just remain committed to your wives and raise your families well.
If there are any signs of abuse, that is the only time we have the right to make any kind of intervention. But adult women who consent to these kind of marriages do not need any intervention from us and certainly not any moral judgment from us.
I think arranged marriages actually succeed more than those for "love".
Marriage out of love does not always guarantee a happy marriage...but marriage without financial stability is far worse..not being materialistic but reality bites in when marriage produce children that couple needs to provide their needs, most of divorces and separation comes from the lack of financial stability (aside from infidelity of course), if you can have both worlds then there is no need to be bitter
tama..give and take naman kasi yan kaya d na rin lugi yung mga Faroese..pabayaan nalang natin sila maging masaya,yung mga nega jan na naiingit mind your own life nalang

Apart from being smaller in stature, Southeast Asians look a lot younger than the westerners.
@@mackman6602 maybe they look like older because of the weather 😁
@@mindastaana5696 There are various reasons for why Asians relative look younger than White people. Diet, culture (asians protect their skin more to sun, because of culture perception of skin color) and especially higher level of Melanin that protects against skin photoaging (wrinkles and discoloration).
Life looks very simple here. It has a beautiful scenery.
Hello, Angelica,
How are you doing today?
imagine yourself, you live in a environment, that is unsafe in your life and you live in poverty, and you don't see any bright in your future. but then comes an individual who will offer you compassion, support, sympathy, respect and empathy. whether it is love or economic stability and so on. one thing is for certain, that all these women are very thankful, happy and they see a bright future ahead of them... If you were in there shoes, you would do the same thing
Also the environment is Northern European, we know what that means: safe, clean and not crawling with people. Dishonesty about love does not mean we are deluded; the woman is simply not in love with the dump known as SE Asia.
@@leomarkaable1 Southeast Asia is not a dump.Have you been there?Please do not say anything on a place you have not even been.
And that's how you got into abusive relationships, power dynamics are in advantage of these men. Western men exploited these Filipino and Thai women and took advantage of their desperation to escape poverty in their countries, convincing these women into having relationships with them so they can have a good life in a "rich Western country". While there are men who genuinely loved and respected their wives, many of these men are abusive and these poor women had no one to turn to as they are in a stranger foreign land.
You sound like a racist. No people is perfect. In the past couple of centuries, European countries were ethic cleansing (genocide) on many non-European people, sometimes in the name of the Church. Took native people's land and forced them into reservations. Then moved their own people into the stolen land (form of population relief). Then they introduced African slaves or indentured servants to work on the harsh land. Don't sit there on your high chair. You are falling off. If the European did not kill or take other peoples land, they might live in land that resemble the unsafe, overpopulated places you described. Remember the 10 commandments: Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods and others.
@@Noriko1919 Because he is a racist and ignorant. He probably never left his own country and never been to Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan South Korea, Philippines, Thailand, and other places that are clean and safe (in relative term). Put a blanket statement on a whole continent (Asia) is foolish and biased.
I am a Nepali citizen. One thing that we have in common is that Philipines and Nepali people are very honest and dedicated to the family.
Sheilla what a bad way of thinking yeah?I am a filipino by origin but I dont agree of what you are saying to Nepal people. You are very nasty saying those words. 😈
@@sheillajeptum2509 Your words show where the stupidity is. Read ur bible and love everyone as they are! God Bless
+Chyakhurs - People who think anyone of any other race or ethnicity, as somehow less honest, faithful, and "....dedicated to the family" are ignorant discriminatory racists. It's as simple as that. Human beings are essentially all the same the world over (and despite cultural or socioeconomic differences between nations). I could tell you horror stories about Filipinas (or other Asian women in my personal life, but I will spare you). At the same time I could tell you of positive stories of honest honorable Asian women (or women of any culture, race, ethnicity, etc.). People are people. You can't generalize entire races, ethnicities, religions, cultures, etc. When people do that (and we are all guilty of it), it shows their ignorance.
@@aaaza7953- What she is saying is probably true (in her experience). And in my experience I will agree, including Indians, Sri Lankans, Bangladeshis, etc. (of course it's a generalization). I had an Indian family living in an apartment below me, and they literally (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), produced the nastiest smells, that literally had me going to the ER from Asthma attacks. Does that mean that all these people are bad people? Of course not. I have known and worked with these people in the tech industry, and socialized outside of the working environment, and they are good people in general.
Sheilla, there may be a few of them like what you have said. You are such a jerk , selfish and disgusting .
Wow, what a wonderful life, Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks for report/documentary.
Awesome piece of journalism..... well done.
It’s ok to judge them, just remember to be perfect for the rest of your life. ( borrowed somewhere)
Wonderful, love this story. Much happiness.
Beautiful people. all welcome here, I wish you all the happiness in the world! AND we're lucky to have you!
An excellent coverage!
to experience hardship will endure what ever obstacle in front! What a beautiful family, god bless you all.
Wow, what a beautiful place, I wish I get a chance to visit... It's so wonderful... really a paradise
So enjoyed watching this!
To everyone criticizing -- this is just the "old arrangement." Notions of romantic love are really pretty new and very western. In lots of places on this planet, young girls marry old men. Sometimes the parents sell them. These women coming to the Faroe Islands are at least more in charge of their own destiny. Its a tough gamble, both ways, but each participant has a specific problem to solve. Does it work? That's the question.
maybe there's no barrier if two people were in love that's destiny for them good luck and God bless you all there.
not love exactly...more like economic stability.
@stephen cooke Hello Stephen, if you think that these woman is more on economic stability, HOW ABOUT YOU? You are more SEX STABILITY AM I RIGHT? 🤣🤣 You have an Asian family but you underestimated filipinos. Thai woman is more economic stability than filipinas, i think you know that. Again YOU! NOT LOVE EXACTLY...MORE LIKE SEX OMLY STABILITY 😊
It's a win win situation. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not all asian girls phillipinos girl may sound good coz they run behind any white man not for love though..
stephen cooke
Haters gonna Hate.
I guess it depends on what you call love...
Beautiful is in the eye of the beholder!
Their perspective. Glad they shared. Interesting!
Modern Day Marriage:
Wife: Im not attracted to you at all but my life is shiite in the Phillipines so lets go to Faroe; Husband: Women in my country wont talk to me because i am not attractive, they dont want to live here, or both so I will travel halfway across the world and bring a person from a totally different culture to my country knowing it is better than where she was from so maybe she will stay for awhile.
Modern? I got news for you, this type of marriage is more common in history than the current fashion of marrying for love only. Its only been for the past 50 or 60 years that hypergamy isnt widely practiced.
@@shanchan8247 Right? i have bo doubt some people we think of as noble were doin the same shit 🤣
I was once married to a Dane. He was gentlest kindest man I have ever met. But our love was swallowed by alcoholism. I loved the climate and the culture..i loved the richness of history but one can't live with these when you are nursing a broken heart. 💔 i still miss 🇩🇰. Hvil I fred skat
Denmark is beautiful and great country
But way different then these islands - landscape, language, culture, personality, daily life
It is breathtaking, looks peaceful and calm I could live like this place forever.
The woman with the failed relationship has an amazing face, worth watching the whole show.
This is such a beautiful video
wow i am so impressed this island i am very interested to visit.....the view is like in switzerland......i am here where i am today happily married....thank you for this aljazeera program....thanks from the holyland.
Beautiful country. So peaceful and relaxing.
Those women are not attractive.....at all
Wow! What a beautiful documentary ... in my 60 something years, I'd never heard of this place before, not until tonight when a post popped up on my fb page about 'Breathtaking History Photos That Will Give You The Chills' the Faroe Islands were mentioned with a cation saying "An aerial view of the Faroe Islands" I so had to google map it and youtube it :) Just stunning! with a beautiful community also :)
Very intriguing film. A better life for all concerned.
Just read about the Faroes. Only 200 miles north of Scotland. A Danish territory with a great deal of autonomy. Not that cold in the winter due to ocean currents (41 is the average temp). And just gorgeous…
I’m in love just looking at the scenery😻
Right? Like a grassy Yosemite
11:57 that bird was amazing ... lol 🤣
I honestly think she is a nice person but i Honestly believe she chose an "easier" way out.
People at times are willing to let love grow depending on the situation..
But the situation will determine how fast it grows and how much growth there will be.
goodluck,may you live a happy and prosperous life out there.
In 2017, Muhammad replaced William in the top 10 most popular boys' names in England and Wales. The research concluded that name has risen 35 places in the last decade and was at the eighth spot in 2017, with just taking two more years to become the most popular name in the UK.
@@stephennicholas1590 Lol
My cousin brother married Philipino.Like any other marriage couple,there’s ups and downs.Past 21 years and they had 7 grown up kids.The agenda,motives or so called the trade keep going on.To look for love by Yourself,through agency and website.So many love stories just like a fairy tales happily ever after,while some are not.My Uncle married Israel girl has two grown up kids in Canada,My cousin married Netherland guy has three grown up kids,a friend married Danish guy has one kids live in Denmark,another friend of mine married American guy they met when both served in Saudi now live in the United States.Where else another Cousin married British guy has one son live in Montreal Canada and Auntie married English guy has two grown up childrens live here in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.I am very proud to be Indigenous Tribe raised and born in Asia 🇲🇾 where my hearts belong 🙏
Hello, Juliana,
How are you doing today?
Watching from SWITZERLAND-Philippines
I like the honesty of the thai women.she speaks from her heart.very sincere.
It's a marriage of convenience purely financial gains and stability.western men over the age of 45 are the prime source of this trend a win win situation. Though I give a credit to these lovely asian women resilience of adopting this kinda of life and environment.
@d puski I find women in general get a kick out of race mixing. I garauntee you that if each race of minority women fucked their men and only their men, the world would have less thirsty men who will then improve society at large.
@PAT123717 sad but true those Asian women get European citizenship after marriage 2 year wait I think
Well, it’s for sure more stability than you can give them! 🤣
This is why you men get used by women..all you focus on is looks.
They don't want to live in an over-populated trash heap crawling with people like them.
To each its own. Be happy in your relationship, We all deserve to give and be loved. I believe Bob Marley said it best . One Love.... One Heart... Let's get together and feel alright!!!

@@stephennicholas1590 😖🤦♂️🤮
@@stephennicholas1590 Yes I know, at least in London it is like that. The same in Stockholm (Sweden). I'm an older man from Finland. Check also my other writings here ...
This is a very good documentarie, it is honest and confronting (what is love, etc.)
But most of all, i find the comments too good to be true ;)
Nice coverage
I am married to a Filipina, I have lived in the Philippines for years, and been around many Filipinas. The one thing I can tell you for sure is that most of those Filipinas are not happy in their marriage. They are there for convenience. Because those men provide a good stable life for them. These are conservative women so they will not tell you they do not love their husbands on camera but I am sure the rest of those women know privately. Their conservative values (commitment) keeps them in those marriages. It saddens me because I would love to see everyone in a happy marriage like I have. Nine years and still we are like newlyweds.
I think your type of marriage is utopia, and through ages at least 50% of marriages are lacking "real" love even from the begininng of the marriage. Some years ago I read a discussion about Thailand. There was a sentence: If a Thai husband doesn't start using the services of pr.s after one year of his wedding day, he is really a rare exceptional case. I'm a man who has been married 29 years to my own countries woman in 🇫🇮.
Don't be judgemental. Faroese man are very good husband. It might in their first years of marriage they don't love fheir husband but eventually they learned to love their husband because if their kindness. Kindness makes you the most handsome. Especially Faroese are handsome and tall.
I love the journalists personality 11.46
He always asks me Do you 💕 me then I say to him No choice, very funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
I wonder how to go there,, i really wanted a life like this, very simple and far from city lights.. Wish i could bring my family like this one day.
I'm in total love with that island. Stunning place and people.
Have you been there?
A lot of Faroese men have left the Islands to other parts of Europe ( mostly Denmark). Most Island cultures die or radically change. My close Faroese friend is now married to a American Norwegian and growing a family.He can’t stand the idea of going back.
late response but i can imagine that, especially up there where there is not many people and a shortage of women
It's interesting seeing documentaries on our country, and people moving here. Sadly the resources to help learn the language are still very lacking, but it is slowly getting better. I'm grateful more people are moving here, and diversifying our gene pool, and adding more general diversity
I'm in love with the narrator !
I"m a Filipina, yes as i watched this video i feel more interested to visit this place, i think this is nice to live,you feel safe and comfortable.
U would hear my Filipino wife. She is a beautiful lady with a wonderful personality that is a licensed criminology and has law degree and people just are attracted to her and she loves to talk. There are many like her here one just has to look. God Bless
Wow! The Island is so beautiful.
Nice video. I never notice this island.
Most of them married to 3 times older man than their own age. Ridiculous. The first person I spoke with was a Philipines lady when I first visited Denmark. And she was with her grandpa like husband. I was shocked
It surprises me too, but it's a thing, apparently.
Three times you say? That sounds perfect; sign me up.
you know why , right? it's a long con. the old white man will die, she gains inheritance, be with a Filipino man her age/the one she really loves with the new wealth or repeat the process and find an old white man. that's really the secret
It's a money thing - an arrangement. Love has nothing to do with it. Guy gets sex, woman sends money back to her kids and family.
Because the old man already divorced with previous wife, so they look for Asian lady to remarry
The place is like heaven. Beautiful
Hello dear how are you. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 to India 🇮🇳. I hope you are safe from covid. It’s a good video. Best wishes for a lovely week 😊🙏 Michael
I'm from the Philippines but I can sleep with my doors and windows open. I don't know where they lived in the Philippines. Come visit my place. I hope that they DON'T generalize everything. I hope that the viewers won't think that all Filipinos are desperate...
Me too .in my province. I sleep wirh open windows and doors.
Paradigm fuse pop. The Filipino girl spoke English with a Faroese accent. Adorable. And my grand father had Filipino neighbor over 30 years ago, so this girl is far from the first.
Second language in the Philippines is English. So some, can speak English, it depends on what level of their education, I guess. Most Filipina women married to any international men are most successful. FILIPINA WOMEN ARE FAMILY ORIENTED AND VERY LOVING AND 99% ARE RESPONSIBLY taking care of their love ones. 90% are successfully, happily married to them but never mistreat ‘em for regretfully on your part.
Nikko Johnston I agree
So lucky are these people who marries Filipina Women, how so lovely they are FILIPINA's neat and clean, so humble and in humility they are, but its so sickening when I heard and see them crying, due of jealousies that are happenings ill treatment by their husbands, sometimes I have heard they were sent into prostitution for its husband's needs, hitting and kicking their southeast asian partners, Am so proud of my KABABAYAN WOMEN, I so dedicate them in behalf of my wife whom my wife treated me well like a King, even my daughter to her husband,,,
M a Filipina n all u said is a fact..agreed to that..we r not perfect human beings its only by luck n destiny..bad n good r everywhere..even our 3rd language we r using is spanish language some filipinos r fluent in it...thats y we r very in demand working worldwide in any types of fields or work.
Nikko Johnston. Most can speak it. Everyone there that i talk to can speak English. They are too humble because they don't think they can talk English correctly. I tell them I'm old and they speak better English then I do. You know what is surprising? They actually pronounce the words correctly. Not slang like we Americans do. And here's the best one for all of you. They are over 8,000 miles away and most talk English. Latin America is just a few thousand miles and some are right on our doorstep and they don't speak or want to speak English. They feel we owe them for taking their Country.
What is Most Beautiful about Women from the Philippines is how much they Love GOD , and No Marriage will make without ALMIGHTY GOD as the base of it .
I love to see the place someday. It looks like you can live so peacefully, seems no pollution, a wonderful place to live in.
If you’re a city person, that place is a good vacation spot. I wouldn’t survive there for longer than 2 weeks. It is so remote, and the nights are longer in wintertime. I am happy where I am right now, thank God.
I think this is where the story of a movie called Faraway Land on Netflix comes from... The place is so breathtaking!!
Nah, if you've been to one of the Scandinavian countries like Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland or Norway, more likely Faroe Islands is similar to the those countries I've mentioned. Nothing new. Even their flags are the same. Only the color combinations set them apart.
Nice video. Cool!
Beautiful place #1 I want to visit.❤
Every answer to her questions are "Yeah" and smile, Yeah, and smile...I find it hard to believe she is really happy.
Sometimes a Filipina isn't as talkative or a bit shy or apprehensive to speak specialy if speaking not in mother tongue. Sometimes also its not good to judge by one instance as it takes time to really get to know a person. In short, don't be quick to judge.
english is not her native language. at least she's able to express herself. besides the video has already been edited who knows whether that's all she did and said.
how about if you talk to our native filipino language can you do it? she may stammers but it does'nt mean she's not
happy.
@@juliusdagondon4931 Every answer to her questions are "Yeah" and smile, Yeah, and smile...I find it hard to believe she is really happy.
you don't have to believe. she has nothing to prove to you!!!
Another win for JBW. What I also noticed is that a lot of the Chinese sports teams practice on Northern lands. Want a cute little Stacy-Tzu Björn? Go get her.
It suprising that this Asian lady know Faroe Island exist. I mean, it's an isolated island in the middle of nowhere
