]]> Measuring happiness is no easy task, and yet every year since 2012 the United Nations publishes a World Happiness Report. The report for 2021 is a little different—aside from the usual criteria, it analyzed people’s emotional responses to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Here are four countries that made it to this year’s Happiness Report top 10.

New Zealand

Ranked the 9th happiest country in the world, New Zealand is the only non-European country in the top 10. It consistently rates high for its good work-life balance. Prime minister Jacinda Ardern has been praised for her early actions in handling the pandemic, which resulted in the country opening up earlier than the rest of the world.

Netherlands

Moving on to 6th place, the Dutch are one of the world’s happiest nations, and it starts at an early age. According to the WHO, Unicef, and the Dutch Statistics Office, the Netherlands shows a consistently high satisfaction for life among teenagers.

Iceland

Considering Iceland’s harsh climate and long winters, it may come as a surprise that the country ranked 2nd in the happiness rating. The Icelandic people are known for their friendliness, and their capability to handle crises and stay positive.

Finland

Crowned the happiest country in the world for the 4th year in a row, the people of Finland have many reasons to be content. These include their high-quality education system, high income, and confidence in the government.

]]> Victoria, Australia’s capital, Melbourne is a buzzing destination that grows more and more beloved every year. One of the best spots to check out in this dynamic city is the Immigration Museum, located in the heart of the downtown area in the Old Customs House.

Australia is a country whose story cannot be told without focusing on immigration, and that is the aim of this world-class museum. From its First Peoples who had to deal with outside invasion to the British prisoners who were sent there when Australia was a penal colony, this continent has been molded by flows of people coming in from outside.

The Immigration Museum puts the spotlight on how these immigrants and the contacts and changes they have made in Australia have shaped the country’s destination, culture, and history.

History and the culture are the two main facets that this museum undertakes, weaving the country’s history of immigrants with its development as a nation and the tragedies that it has seen. It also expresses how Victoria itself has been shaped by the specific immigrant groups that found themselves there as well as the First Peoples whose lives were forever changed by their arrival.

Any anthropology or history lover would be remiss not to take time to check out this fantastic museum on their next trip to Melbourne.

Address: 400 Flinders St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

]]> Located on the banks of the Swan River on Australia’s west coast is the stunning city of Perth. The largest city in Western Australia might be far away from more common travel destinations like Sydney and Brisbane, but you can’t pass up an opportunity to travel to this beautiful city.

Perth is located on the ocean, which gives it a ton of beautiful beaches. While travelers can find plenty of other activities to do in the city, it’s always nice to be able to visit spectacular beaches like Cottesloe if you want to take it easy.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxlCGrOiBSL/

If you’re looking to go outside but not spend time in the sand, be sure to check out the Kings Park and Botanic Garden next to the city’s river. Here, you’ll find one of the most beautifully-landscaped urban parks on Earth and you’ll enjoy Perth’s beauty at its finest.

For those that want to top off their trip with a cultural excursion or two, Perth isn’t lacking in options either. Visitors to the big western city have options such as the Fremantle Prison, a UNESCO World Heritage site that served as a jail for English prisoners during Australia’s time as a penal colony.

Perth has tons of interesting sites, beautiful weather, and an idyllic setting. What are you waiting for?

]]> Did you know that there is an island called Tasmania located to the south of mainland Australia?

If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be the only one! Although Tasmania is widely considered to be the most fascinating and beautiful region of the country of Australia, it isn’t well-known by travelers due to its relative isolation and obscurity.

Located 150 miles south of Australia’s southeastern coast, Tasmania is an island that has only 526,700 residents. Instead of large cities, visitors to Tasmania should expect to find natural beauty and some of the most spectacular landscapes that Australia offers.

In fact, nearly half of the land area of Tasmania is protected by Australian law, meaning that it cannot be developed.

Freycinet National Park, located on Tasmania’s east coast, might be the most beautiful of all of these protected areas. It features white sand beaches as well as wild, rugged hills and coastline.

Visitors to Tasmania should also check out Cradle Mountain, located in Tasmania’s central highlands. If you travel to this beautiful park, there is a wide variety of hikes that include the mountain and nearby Dove Lake to survey some of the island’s most picturesque points.

Tasmania is a fantastic option if you’re looking to disconnect, relax, and enjoy nature. Check it out if you can!

Mount Eden

Mount Eden is Auckland’s highest inactive volcano from which you can get an amazing view of the city.

Sky Tower

]]> Did you know that there is an entire town in Australia which is mostly underground?

The town of Coober Pedy in Australia is built primarily underground, and even though its located far into the interior of the country, visiting it is an unforgettable experience.

Coober Pedy has just under 2,000 residents. The town was built in the early 1900s after opal was discovered in the area.

If it weren’t for opal mining, this town would never exist. Why is this? Well, Coober Pedy is located in Southern Australia’s brutal interior. Here, temperatures regularly exceed 40 degrees Celsius in the summer.

Because of this extreme heat, the majority of dwellings and buildings in Coober Pedy is underground.

Tourists in Coober Pedy can visit some of the opal mines, which are open to visitors. They can also experience the unique thrill of staying in an underground hotel.

The Desert Cave Hotel in Coober Pedy is a luxurious four star option which is complete with an underground bar and pool.

If you are looking to tour the Australian Outback, be sure to add Coober Pedy to your list of things to see!

Vatican

The Vatican, the center of the Catholic Church, with its 0,44 square kilometers, is the world’s tiniest country. It is located in Rome, in the capital city of Italy. One part of its income is the voluntary income from the members of the Roman Catholic Church and the other part of the income comes from admission fees of museums, sales of postage stamps etc.

Monaco

Monaco, the second smallest country in the world is only 2 square kilometers big and it is located on the beautiful and breathtaking French Riviera. It is best known for its famous and rich residents, and it is used as a favorite playground for the millionaires and billionaires. Monaco has another record: with its population of 38,400, it is the world’s most densely populated country.

Nauru

Never heard of Nauru? Well, it is an island country located in Micronesia, a subregion of Oceania, in the Central Pacific. With its total 21 square kilometers, Nauru is the smallest island country in the world, too.
