Happiness seems to be the one thing that people all over the globe are constantly chasing. After all, if we are happy, then everything else will simply fall into place, right? While happiness is often described as inner peace, many believe that where you live has a massive impact on happiness. Below, we take a look at the top three happiest countries around the world, according to the World Happiness Report.
For the second year in a row, Finland, known as the “Land of a Thousand Lakes”, has taken the top spot in the ranking of the happiest countries around the world. Not only is Finland home to the breathtaking Northern Lights, but it also has more forest and water than anywhere else in Europe. Finland has 188,000 lakes that hold some of the world’s cleanest waters, one of the most vibrant food scenes in Europe and some of the cleanest air in Europe too. It is also one of the safest places in the world! What’s not to love?
Denmark is where the Hygge lifestyle derives from and is the place where the people get that work-life balance just right. From excellent life expectancy to one of the smallest wealth gaps in the world, there’s more than a few reasons why you may want to move to Denmark. With a picturesque countryside, a fairly small population, fantastic job opportunities and a big focus on family, we can’t think of many places we’d rather be.
Norway is often described as the most beautiful country in Europe, and it’s not hard to see why. Norwegians love an active and outdoor lifestyle - from trekking and hiking to camping and fishing, children are encouraged to get out in the fresh air from a young age. Norway is the sixth wealthiest country in the world and citizens are looked after by their government with healthcare, free education at all levels and generous retirement funds. It is also one of the most environmentally friendly nations; around 98% of the country’s energy is supplied by their network of dams.
