3. Iceland
Low crime, a high standard of living, free high-quality education (literacy rates in Iceland are at a staggering 99 percent), and low unemployment rates that have already returned to pre-pandemic levels all add to Icelanders’ optimism.
It’s easy to mingle with your friends and family in a tiny country like Iceland, which is a big element in overall happiness. Join an Icelandic family for a handmade supper to experience the close-knit culture, which is easily arranged through many tour organizations. In Reykjavik, Creative Iceland offers a similar package, while Viator offers one in the fishing village of Hofn.
