Are you among the 38% of Americans who are unhappy with their lives and considering leaving the country? Instead of moving to Mars, explore some of the world’s best countries in 2023, many of which have fascinating cultures and breathtaking landscapes.
10. Japan
Japan is an archipelago located in East Asia that is home to nearly 125 million people spread over 421 inhabited islands. The country is renowned for its unique blend of traditional and modern cultures, offering visitors a wide range of natural and architectural wonders. From bamboo forests and historic temples in Kyoto to snow-capped volcanoes and idyllic mountain villages, there is an abundance of stunning natural scenery to explore.
9. Netherlands
The Netherlands is a country located in Western Europe, known for its stunning landscapes, vibrant culture, and innovative engineering marvels. With nearly half of its population living in low-lying areas, the country is heavily reliant on its impressive network of dikes, dunes, canals, and pumps, which protect it from the constant threat of flooding. Without these ingenuities, over 65% of the land would be submerged during high tide, and the country would be in dire straits.
8. Finland
Finland has consistently been recognized as the happiest country in the world for an impressive seven years in a row. Its capital city, Helsinki, has also earned the distinction of being the happiest city on a global scale. The nation boasts a wealth of natural beauty, with Lapland being an exceptional destination for witnessing the mesmerizing Aurora Borealis, and a remarkable 85% of the country’s landmass blanketed by unspoiled wilderness.
7. Canada
Despite the fact that a significant portion, approximately one-third, of Canada’s landmass lies near the Arctic Circle and experiences frigid temperatures, the country is undeniably beautiful, boasting expansive landscapes and a rich variety of wildlife. The vast majority of Canadians reside within 150 miles of the United States border, where they enjoy a high quality of life that consistently ranks among the best worldwide. In 2022, Canada ranked third on a global scale, with an annual growth rate of nearly 1.8 percent.
6. Iceland
Iceland is a magical place with breathtaking fjords, mossy canyons, black sand beaches, glacier lagoons, volcanoes, hot springs, geysers, and waterfalls, making it the most otherworldly place on Earth. It has a high quality of life, with a poverty rate of 4.9% and the second-highest average income globally, as well as a top-tier retirement plan, top-notch healthcare, free or low-cost higher education, and fair employment opportunities.
5. Australia
Australia is a land of abundant natural beauty, with 34,000 kilometers of pristine coastline and some of the world’s most stunning beaches. From the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef to the rugged cliffs of the Great Ocean Road, Australia’s coastlines are truly breathtaking. And with an average temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, it’s no wonder that people from all over the world flock to Australia for a warm place to settle.
4. Norway
Norway is a picturesque country with some of the most stunning fjords and islands in the world. Car-free national parks maintain exceptional cleanliness, while coastal cities like Bergen and Oslo boast a blend of old and new architecture that works in harmony with the natural surroundings. Despite being the fifth most expensive country, Norway has the world’s 10th lowest poverty rate at 8.4 percent.
3. Ireland
Ireland has the third highest standard of living, the best education system, and the lowest poverty rate in the world, with 53% of its residents holding a post-secondary degree. Many prominent U.S. technology firms have established European headquarters in Ireland because of its business-friendly tax code. The country has the third-highest GDP per capita in the world at $131,000 and the best job market for Americans looking to relocate. Dublin Airport offers pre-clearance for U.S. travelers departing from the United States.
2. Denmark
Denmark has the world’s happiest people, with almost everyone having someone they can turn to for help in times of need. Denmark has the best healthcare system, the second-best work-life balance, the third-lowest poverty rate, the fourth-best education system, and the fifth-highest annual average wage at $58,400. The top tax rate is 52 percent, but the country’s government is responsive to its people because of the high level of education and political engagement among Danes (84.6 percent voter turnout). The country is often ranked as the best place to live in the world, despite being the coldest and least scenic of the Nordic countries.
