Wonderful natural landscapes, good social security, free education systems... are factors that contribute to creating these happy countries.

The United Nations National Geographic Society has listed the happiest countries in the world. Let's take a look at these 10 wonderful countries and see which ones they are.

1. Sweden

Sweden is a country with a very high level of life satisfaction in the world. Knowing how to enjoy life is what people in this country do after a fixed working time. It can be going for a coffee or chatting with friends. Swedes usually have a 15-minute break to relax after every two hours of work. With this habit of drinking coffee, chatting and resting, it is not surprising that this is one of the countries with the largest coffee consumption in the world.

2. Australia

The land of kangaroos is a country with very low pollution levels, and at the same time, it is a country with a very high community cohesion. Some people joke that Australians express their affection through barbecues. Parks are places chosen by many people to meet and socialize with friends, relatives or simply talk to people. If you come to this beautiful and hospitable country, drink a pint of beer and enjoy traditional Australian meat to strengthen your friendship.

3. New Zealand

There is no denying the impact that landscapes have on a person’s mood. If you live in a land of breathtaking mountain ranges and wildlife, you will probably feel that life is more beautiful. New Zealand is blessed with stunning landscapes, very low pollution levels and a large number of wildlife species, which is probably why its people are some of the happiest in the world.

5. Canada

With the second largest area in the world, Canada is a paradise for those who love to travel. Canadians are proud of having a wonderful country with thousands of beautiful parks, hundreds of majestic mountain ranges and countless open spaces.

A country with dozens of delicious chocolates available cannot but be a happy country, that is a funny definition someone once said.
