The world is an expansive place with plenty of terrains to explore, skylines to view, foods to try, and many photo-worthy moments. Here are 8 Ways to Fall in Love with the World.
1. Have a “#nofilter” moment.
When you encounter a scene so picturesque, you don’t even want to apply a filter. Now that’s a no filter moment.
2. Master the art of less.
When you’re forced to live out of a carry-on you realize you don’t really miss all those things you couldn’t pack.
3. Bargain like a local.
Somehow the price just dropped ten times in the last thirty seconds. Get local prices: check!
4. Spark some serious FOMO.
Everyone experiences “FOMO” (fear of missing out) at some point. Don’t worry, your amazing Facebook profile picture just inspired forty people to see more of the world.
5. See “IT” in 3D.
A picture is worth a thousand words, but actually being there leaves you speechless.
6. Forget to be homesick.
Everyone has moments when they miss the familiar, till they realize the unfamiliar is so much more exciting. There is no time for homesickness when curiosity takes hold.
7. Finally use your language classes.
Remember to thank your teacher when you can confidently respond “Si, hablo español.”
8. Eat. Enough said.

Travel is just as much about trying new cuisines as it is about finding yourself. Your taste buds will seriously thank you.
