Wanderlust at its best. These destinations look amazing. I can not wait to get back into my leisure travel. Covid kind of put a hold on my international travels, but I'm am looking forward to adding a few of these beautiful cities to my bucket list. Thank you for these beautiful photos. I'm dreaming again.

I wonder what it is that these (mostly) Scandinavian countries know about happiness that the rest of us don't? Would love to see an article about their values/cultural norms that contribute to their levels of happiness and how that happiness is measured!

I haven’t travel as of late, but a couple of these countries are at the top of my list.  Switzerland, and Netherlands.  I have friends from both countries, been invited,  and perhaps in the near future, I can finally visit.  I too am curious on how this list came about.

I'd love to visit each of these places!! What were the happiness qualifiers, I wonder?

I am in love with all things travel. My bucket list is very long and I am looking forward to dusting off my passport and hopping on an international flight. Some of these locations are actually on my list. I am all for increasing my happiness while taking in the culture in some of these beautiful countries.

I wonder how they're quantifying happiness ...
