Heðin (Hey’in) Poulsen
CEO & Partner
As a young boy, Heðin recognised that being one of only 50,000 inhabitants is pretty unique, and he became very interested in his tiny little country. At the age of 10, he learned to memorise all 124 settlements. He has been to each one of them and loves to travel around the 18 beautiful islands.
Heðin is a certified guide and got his MBA at Henley Business School in 2012. He has worked in different sectors, mainly service and sales.
“To travel is to live” said H.C.Andersen, and Heðin has travelled around 5 continents. What he loves the most is experiencing authenticity and meeting locals.
Heðin’s favourite destination is Wonderful Vágar.

Rasmus Rosendahl
Co-founder
From a young age, Rasmus was immersed in the Faroese way of life, instilling a deep appreciation for the rugged terrain, pristine waters, and unique culture that define this remote archipelago.
Rasmus’s journey in the world of hospitality began over a decade ago, working in various roles within the Faroese hospitality and tourism industry. He honed his skills in restaurants, bars, and hotels, gaining a profound understanding of the intricacies of delivering exceptional customer experiences.
While pursuing his studies in International Hospitality Management in Copenhagen, Rasmus’s passion for his homeland and his desire to introduce the world to the Faroe Islands led to the creation of REMÓT Travel with Bjarni.

Bjarni Rasmussen
Co-founder
Growing up in the safe cradle of the Faroe Islands, Bjarni longed to venture out into the world. This led him to backpack around the world, climb the tallest mountain peaks across continents, and finally to study and live in the United States. Now, with these experiences in his back pocket and living in New York, Bjarni appreciates his home country more than ever.
“The landscapes are unmatched, the “slow living" in the Faroese villages is endearing, and the intimacy of Faroese hospitality can only truly be appreciated once you experiencing it."
Observing Americans’ curiosity about his home country, combined with a longing to stay in touch with his home while at university, led to the creation of REMÓT Travel together with Rasmus – the two of whom met while working together at a restaurant when younger, Bjarni as a pizza chef and Rasmus a waiter/bartender.
Bjarni’s favourite destination is Eysturoy.
