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 are1

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.

The land of kangaroos is a country with very low pollution levels, and at the same time, a country with a very high level of community cohesion. Some people joke that Australians show their affection through barbecues. Parks are a popular place for 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.

There is no denying the impact that landscape has on a person’s mood. If you live in a land of rolling mountains and breathtaking wildlife, you will surely feel that life is more beautiful.
