  • Nordic Countries🇫🇮🇧🇻🇸🇪🇮🇸🇩🇰.: that's our time

    • @@anteup8198 the thing is our friendships last generations here. Hard to make room for new people

    • @@SteaksOnSpear but its good to make new friends and have new experiences, I think people who think like that are stuck in a box with no expansion. Its a bit sad.

  • Hi Marina. Your team does a great job on the street! Thank you for making this video personally.
    I miss you from time to time. Enjoy the nice weather in the summer 😊

  • Thank you so much for your kindness and honesty! I’d love to hear about your opinion on most friendly countries! Thanks!

  • Great video! I currently live in Turkey and I've managed to find a plenty of friends here, being myself quite a reserved person. There's an economical and migration crisis, so it might've affected Turkish positions in those ratings recently, but fundamentally they are very friendly people.

  • Im not surprised. I would say Eastern Europe, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary are places where making friends is VEEEERY hard. For me the easiest Turkey, Azerbaijan. Such nice and warm people

    • Yes am genuinely surprised that Hungary or Czech Republic for ex. are not on this list. Then again they might be on other lists that are similar, not sure

    • Modern day America is impossible now a lot of the moments are for flicks and it’s not real connection 😢

    • @@nickplehn8302 Yes I observed it as a foreigner living in the US. People seem to be easy going but they are not your real friends. You understand that they are little selfish at the end of the day.

    • At least strangers say "hello" and "goodbye" in the elevators in Poland and Hungry. Cant really say that's the case in the countries with Germanic languages, nor Finland though.

    • @@beste3975my exact opinion after living in the USA for over two decades! Just fake friendliness! Pleasant to experience if you are a customer! But very frustrating and disappointing when you confuse it with real friendship!

  • For me the worst country to make friends is Cuba. 99% will act like they are your best friends, then rip you off hard when they get the opportunity. It really hard to make genuine connections here. I did make 1 really great aquaintance and we almost got fake married so she could move to europe but still i see it as overall one of the worst countries to make friends i've ever visited

    • @TuAmigoElMorrocoy tell that to Americans that like to brag about how much money they earn

    • I am a South Florida native and the Cuban population here is enormous. Your second sentence describing how these people will act like your best friend then rip you off HARD when they get the opportunity is absolutely 100% TRUE. This is why I do not trust them whatsoever. I don't care how nice they are. They are opportunistic predators. People who move down here from the Midwest or anyone outside Florida who thinks this is the greatest place to live in the US are in for a hard awakening.

    • @@TuAmigoElMorrocoy Yes, absolutely true. I lived in the heart of Mexico for some time, years ago, and the immediate feeling I got was to dress down..waaaayyy down, and try hard not to stand out. I already have blonde hair and green eyes so that was plenty enough for me to stand out where I lived. It's always better to act poor and unassuming in any Latin American country, this is absolutely true. It's far too dangerous to wear jewelry or nice clothing as well. Not worth the risk in such high risk and deadly crime rated countries. Mexico I think tops the list now as one of the most dangerous countries to visit or live in, just like some Arab countries and North Korea. Such a shame.

  • For two countries that sound so similar Australia and Austria are on opposite ends of the making friends spectrum. I found it very easy to make friends in Australia but my family knew a family whose daughter went to visit relatives in Austria for a few months as a teen. She came back wih a snooty personality she didn't have before.

  • I was recently in Germany. I stayed at a hostel. I took the train to a lot of other cities and did things I had to cancel from my plans from prior trips. One thing I saw was Döner places on every street corner. What I did not like was that when I was at the Frankfurt hauptbahnhof, bums would beg me for money. I was marked as soon as I got in line to buy a crepe or any food from a vendor. One bum chased me all over the station to demand money. I think she was middle eastern. Most people I saw were from places other than Germany.
