Surprised New Zealand did not make this list. They were super friendly and authentic to us. We loved it.

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!

[alastairtopham]

I have found the Americans to be extremely friendly. Very welcoming and hospitable. So easy to meet Americans and chat with them.

Taiwan is super friendly, people are very willing to help or take a photo for you, but also it’s easy to talk with them and feel some real warmth.

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!

Cant' tell you how much I agree with your list, Wolt!
As a Brit myself, I've noticed Brazillians, Italians and Greeks are some of the nicest people on earth. So much to learn from their warmth and friendliness. Of course Canadians are also friendly, but in a different way, but I was very happy to see you put the US there!
I'm fed up seeing the US bashed so much, particularly by your fellow countrymen. Americans are kind to a fault! As an English person, I don't show emotion easily, but was moved (almost) to tears in different parts of the world seeing how Americans helped other people, didn't laugh at anyone and genuinly cared for their fellow man. Where does this self-hatred come from?!
Great video, interesting topic for discussion. Safe travels buddy!

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

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 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 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸

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 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.

I agree with Ireland as #1. My sister and I were there for a week a few months ago. When we were told the Irish were very friendly and loved Americans, we thought “Yeah, sure…doubt it.” We were WRONG! I’ve been to over 40 countries and hands down, Ireland was the friendliest, most welcoming country I’ve ever visited. Well, Australia and New Zealand were way up there too.

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

[nioxi]

I'm from Poland but living in Ireland for the past 14 years and I 100% agree. Irish people are super friendly 😊

[lalaking]

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. :-)

I have been to many in countries in Europe, North America, Middle East an East Asia. The friendliest people i ever met are the Bali people in Indonesia. I had an accident there and triple broke my left ankle. I received so much help from people i never met before. The most friendly one, was the receptionist lady from my hotel. The doctors from hospital called my hotel and asked her to bring my passport. From that day on, she visited me every day. She took me from hospital back to the hotel after surgery. Because of the accident, the hotel gave me room service with no extra cost and free late checkout. On the last day she drove me to the airport and ordered wheelchair service for me. We are still in contact, and i will return to Bali in 7 weeks to say thank you.

What about Mexico, "mi casa es su casa"? They are super friendly and are always feeding you. They know how to throw a party and they're food is amazing.

Used to go to Scotland a lot and always found the people absolutely lovely, maybe we just got lucky but in all my years of going to Scotland always found the people so kind and lovely.

Also I must mention my home country of Wales, I think the people here are mostly friendly, weird sense of humour though.

[eyeliketowatch]

I just got back from a trip to Scotland a week ago and thought it was the friendliest country I've been to. Very similar to Ireland in that regard.

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

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.
