We all know there is no place like home. However, when we travel, we want to feel welcomed and interact with pleasant people as if we are at home. Although this might be unrealistic, we still wish the locals would extend some hospitality to us as though we have previously met. I have met many lovely people around the globe. 

Therefore, I acknowledge some countries such as; Belgium (super helpful people) Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda, and Anguilla, among others, where I also met some friendly people and had enjoyable vacations. However, through careful consideration, I found these to be the 21 friendliest people and countries to visit, especially for holidays.

Even though this list comprises countries I visited, and at the risk of appearing bias, a special mention must be made of Trinidad and Tobago. The country that hosts the biggest and best carnival worldwide, and the only country to invent a musical instrument in the 20th century (the Steel Pan). It has some of the friendliest, most-jovial people in the world. Consequently, its national airline, Caribbean Airlines, also has the friendliest Air Stewards/Stewardesses worldwide.
