A trip to Australia, the world's happiest industrialized nation,wouldn't be complete without visiting the Great Barrier Reef. It's one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Australia ranks at the top in civic engagement, which looks at voters' participation among other criteria. It also comes out above average, in the list of 36 countries, in environmental quality, health status, housing, personal security, jobs and earnings, education and skills, subjective well-being, social connections, and income and wealth. The only category in which Australia lags behind the average is work-life balance, the OECD says.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

London (CNN) -- Australia has been revealed as the world's happiest industrialized nation, taking the title for the fourth year running.

The so-called "lucky country" beat Norway and Sweden to take the top spot in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) Better Life Index.

It’s a good question, if someone asks you: Where do you want to live for the rest of your live? I don’t think so. I think that I will answer in Spain, but I can’t answer it because I’m not a traveller.

But when I was in France, skiing or in Italy in 4^th of ESO, I remember that I didn’t mind to live there. Imagine that you get up in the morning and you see all the mountain cover by snow, and say, come on, I have breakfast and I go skiing. I think that I will miss friends and family, but I really don’t mind to live there for two months.

I think that travel makes people happier. Because you disconnect from the society and don’t think in your problems, you only think in relax, like in summer. You only have to see people that come here to spend the summer; they are very friendly and very happy.

So I hope that I could travel in the future because I don’t want to have children when I will be older, so I will spent my money travelling around the world meeting new people and relaxing.
