"To Travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.”

You must have heard of places or countries that are most travelled to or countries that are least travelled to, however, the list that we are going to post forward today is of countries that are simply struck by the wanderlust and want to explore their own country and the regions beyond like nobody else does in the world. The reasons for their desire to travel might be varied-to name a few, high GDP, economic security, cultural desire to travel and many more-but they are definitely bitten by the travel bug and have thus earned the title of being the "well-travelled countries” across the world. Let us see the list of countries that have kept up high standards for the travelling communities across the world.

Logistical data will tell you various reasons as to why Finnish people travel a lot- high incomes and low unemployment rates-but there is a cultural attribute that makes Finnish people more travel oriented. Finnish people are warm, open and sincere, something that would make them more receptive especially when they travel.
