10 Countries that Have the Most Fun!

We all want to experience joy and have fun as often as possible. Not all of us have the opportunity to really make that happen, though. Sometimes it’s a personal thing, sometimes it’s a lack of friends who share your interests, but you have to admit — sometimes it’s the environment you’re in! I’m not saying that moving to another country is going to change your life and make you have more fun. What I’m about to do is just share a list of the 10 countries where people have the most fun!

10. Brazil

Now, keep in mind that this is by no means a conclusively 100% scientific study, but Brazil opens up the top 10 of “funnest countries” with the statistic of people having (on average) 10.9 fun days a month with 26.1% of survey respondents saying they have fun on “most days”. Spoiler: a lot of countries on this list are in the Latin America region. We’ll get into conjectures about why later.

9. Netherlands

I’m not going to attribute the fact that many people from the Netherlands have a lot of fun because recreational marijuana is legalized there. If anything, having visited the country myself, I’d be more likely to attribute it to the laid-back atmosphere, the very bike-friendly cities, and the fact that many people from the Netherlands have managed to find a healthy work-life balance.

People from the Netherlands have 11.2 fun days a month with 28.5% of survey respondents saying that they are having fun on “most days”.

8. UK

You’ve seen how they behave at sporting events, so you know that people from the UK know how to have fun! They have an average of 11.3 fun days a month. That just happens to coincide with the number of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. Besides, “happy hour” culture is strong in the big cities! If you ever visit London you’ll find many business men having beers with their friends at local pubs immediately after work.

7. Italy

I’m 90% sure that Italy is on this list because Italians really love eating and they have some of the best food in the world! Italians value family life, so I’m sure many of them consider family dinners a fun time. 29.6% of survey respondents said that they have fun on “most days”, while the average number of fun days a month is 11.6.

To be honest, any day when I’m having pizza counts as a fun day in my book, so I get why Italy is on this list!
