#1

Norway. It has the most beautiful nature in the world. Genuinely nice people and it's so safe | hardly locked my bike in most places.

#2

Kyrgyzstan. It absolutely blew my mind. Its stunningly beautiful and has an impressive range of landscapes for such a small country. The food was fantastic, the people were just amazing, and the entire experience was incredible.

#3

Costa Rica, by far. I've been to a lot of countries, but the friendly atmosphere, combined with the beautiful views of Costa Rica are just perfect for me.

#4

Taiwan gets my vote. I think | could live there. I love it! It's easy to get around. The people are so kind. It's clean and safe. So scenic. Big fan.

#5

Panama. Amazing landscapes (tropical forests, mountains, beaches), 'incredible wildlife (some of the best birds I've had the chance to see) and extremely friendly pecple. And less tourists than its neighbor, Costa Rica, where I've also been to and liked so much.

#6

Turkey (specifically istanbul). The food was obscenely tasty and very reasonably priced. The pecple were friendly (minus the taxi drivers) and the metro was incredibly clean. There's so much history there and so much fun stuff to do.

#7

Italy, for sure. Northern Italy was the most gorgeous place I've ever seen! Traveling to small towns nestled in the Dolomites, eating some of the best food I've ever had, and driving on incredible mountain roads. Then you go south to see beautiful sandy beaches and some famous cities in Europe! That place has everything.

#8

Japan. Hands down the safest country I've ever been to. The best food (not just Japanese food), awesome outdoors (especially for a skier like me), everything is super clean, the mix between ancient and modern, and the most hospitable people I've ever met traveling. If | were to move to another country for a couple of years out of the ones I've been to so far (9 countries), I'd definitely move to Japan.
