✅

you can add a dehydrate method for country to your LocationResource

def dehydrate_country(self, bundle):
    return bundle.obj.country.name

OR

if you are using DRF instantiate Country field like 

 from django_countries.serializer_fields import CountryField

 country = CountryField(country_dict=True)

in your serializer.

You can obtain the name from django_countries data dictionary

from django_countries.data import COUNTRIES

country_name = COUNTRIES[country_code]

In case of DRF, little bit of tweaks to the serializer could work

from django_countries.serializer_fields import CountryField
from django_countries.fields import CountryField as ModelCountryField


class CustomCountryMixin(CountryFieldMixin):
    """Custom mixin to serialize country with name instead of country code"""

    def to_representation(self, instance):
        data = super().to_representation(instance)
        for field in instance._meta.fields:
            if field.__class__ == ModelCountryField:
                if getattr(instance, field.name).name:
                    data[field.name] = getattr(instance, field.name).name
        return data



class StudentSerializer(CustomCountryMixin, serializers.ModelSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = Student
        fields = ('mobile_number', 'study_destination', 'country_of_residence',
                  'university', 'study_level', 'course_start_date')
