The FRIENDLIEST Countries I Have Visited

Arrived to the USA 3 weeks ago, first time abroad, and the people you meet even the random ones are EXTREMELY friendly, they are genuinely interested in you and if you are having fun in their country, especially when I tell them that I’m from Tunisia they want to know more about it. All the strangers I’ve talked to were extremely friendly from the border agents, supermarket employees, barbers and random strangers were extremely friendly, I thought that it wasn’t genuine at first, asked my American friends about it and they said that people are just genuinely interested in each other. I’m from a very friendly country, but the US is on a different level.

I’ve been to all the Mediterranean countries but Greek friendliness still sticks out. Everyone is so naturally extroverted, relaxed, and wholesome.

True event: My wife and I were all over Ireland in the spring of 2023. From Dublin to Galway and more. Took a ride up to Belfast as well. Going to Limerick from Dublin one day we stopped for lunch in the little hamlet of Moneygal and a lady in her mid-40 heard us talking in Ollie Hayes' pub and asked where we were from. When I said Philadelphia she literally welled up a bit and said she was sooooo happy we stopped by, gave us her phone number and wanted us to stop in again on the way back a day later. We did and she came over with her son and his girlfriend to say hello and now we have new friends in Moneygal. Such nice people in Ireland.

We are Australian and last year we went to the USA, first time abroad. We loved the American people. So helpful and kind. We even made friends there and are going back to see them and to see more of your amazing country. We miss the USA so much!

As someone from Detroit right across from Windsor I can confirm Canadians are amazing.

Im sicilian. Greeks and Sicilians are so similar in culture and looks, growing up, i had greek neighbors. Thought they were Sicilian with a weird dilect until i was 10

I was 100% sure that Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Belgium and Switzerland wouldnt be on the list!

Jordan had such warm, hospitable people. I was so touched traveling there. Also Brazilians are absolutely lovely!

I live in Spain, tho I'm Scottish, and went to Italy recently. I found they were nothing like as friendly and welcoming as the Spanish. I have to say, every time I've been to the US, everyone was helpful, engaging, and really pleased to see you, even in New York!

My family went to Ireland last summer and I really enjoyed it and the people there are so nice.

Malaysia, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia all friendly places

I've met 2 Americans in real life and they were both great. I (British) got queue jumped in Lisbon 🇵🇹 and this American man and I made eye contact, he immediately understood what had happened and that I wasn't going to say anything, and he wasn't having it - "excuse me, this lady was first!" - very polite but assertive Saved my reserved British butt lol 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸

You forgot about Thailand! I've never met such, kind, helpful people. From the moment I stepped foot off the plane until the moment I got back on the plane to come home everyone was helpful, kind, and welcoming!

A lot of these places, from Ireland to Italy, have historically contributed a lot of immigrants to the United States. Perhaps that's why Americans have the reputation for being so friendly!

I've seen lots of foreign YouTubers visiting here on their respective channel, and most to all have been amazed by how friendly we as Americans are. Many of us may be ignorant as a box of rocks, but at least we're friendly.😀

Thank you for saying Canadians are friendly! Of course there's some bad apples but I feel most of us try to make tourists feel welcome ❤️

Ireland is by far, hands down my favorite place in the world that I’ve ever been! Fantastic people, amazing landscapes and great food.

If you love friendly Canadians, come visit us in the Maritime provinces in the summers months. A lot of people don't know that their is also Acadians, french canadians (not quebecois). Us Acadians and Maritimers are known to be super friendly!

We loved Ireland -but also, SUPER friendly people in Scotland!!! Especially the taxi drivers. Several of our cab drivers were comedian-level funny and really helped us. And people on the street would stop and give directions when we looked lost. :-)

Been to many of the countries on your list and, yes, the Greek people were unbelievably fun and friendly. I would add Turkey to your list. Beautiful country and amazing people.
