Is your soul ready to start packing? Wondering what is the best country to live in?
Here's curated a list of the best countries that you should consider when deciding where you'd like to live next.
To make this list, the criteria included:
If you find any other countries that should be on this list (which there is), please add them below.
Internations does an annual survey among their expat community and Taiwan is the favorite among them. Expats love the food, healthcare, convenience stores around the corner, public transport, the weather, nightlife, and (off-course) the stunning scenery.
Denmark ranks number 1 by taking into account safety, prosperity, and overall quality of life. Denmark is well-known for more than just Copenhagen, bikes, and Carlsberg beer. From food to alternative culture and don't forget the Vikings!
The UN looks at human well-being and in some ways similar to the Legatum Index. The Human Development Report includes things like inequality - gender, race, religious freedom, income inequality, etc.
The main focus is on:
The Centre on International Education Benchmarking ranks Canada in the top 10 in the world. And, since Canada is also a popular choice to emigrate to from the US, it was easy to add to this list. Canadians are known for their "unyielding politeness", their love for maple syrup, ice hockey, and northern lights.
Experience Japan's traditional art and distinctive gardens as an expat. Japanese are among the most literate and technically advanced in the world. They're also ranked 2nd for entrepreneurship and 6th for cultural influence, globally.
Internations annual survey revealed Vietnam as one of the top 5 countries that expats love because of work. Vietnam's famous for its bustling Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh cities, Instagram-worthy destinations, and French colonial architecture.
Switzerland; known for delicious chocolate, cheese, banking, watches, and the Alps (among other). This country has always been known to take consider the 3 UN categories - people, opportunity, and choice - even before they joined the UN in 2002. This country makes it to the top 5 of the Legatum Prosperity Index too.
These are the world's happiest people and many say the real Santa Claus. But, I'm way more interested in having the cleanest air and tap water - which Finland has of all the big cities in Europe - and the northern lights! Finland seems to be my favorite on this list of the best country to live in.
Hong Kong's known as the culinary capital of Asia with local dim sum and fresh seafood a popular choice. What makes Hong Kong the best country to live in, is that it's family-friendly, has a colorful night-life, and a favorite international sports destination.
Besides the high-levels of security, convenience, and lovely climate; Singapore is also in the top 10 in terms of education. Plus, they also make the Legatum Prosperity List!
