=== Streymoy ===
'''Streymoy''' is the most populated island in the Faroes. The capital, Tórshavn, is in the southeast of the island, and one of two cities (as far as I know) where you can get (free) public internet access − just go to the library. I can't remember street names, but because of how small all the towns are, it only takes a little common sense to figure out which road you need to wait by for cars. There is a roundabout outside of Kollafjørður (which still is in the municipality of Tórshavn, the way west leads to Vágar, and the way east leads to Eysturoy and beyond. You're very likely to end up here at some point since there is also a harbour in Kollafjørður, so many company cars go here.
 
If hitching out from Torshavn, a good place is on the 52 near the intersection with 10 (the road to Hoyvík). Most drivers leaving the city leave on this road, as it is the starting point for most of Streymoy and for, well, most other islands, such as Vágar, Eysturoy, and Borðoy (the island where Klaksvík is). Shortly after turning from 10 onto 52 there is a side road that goes to the right, a perfect spot for cars to pull over, so stand about halfway between highway 10 and that little spot, as it gives drivers enough time to see you and pull over after passing you.
