Traveling opens our minds… and opens us to the world.
When we travel, we immerse ourselves in different cultures and customs. Embracing these new experiences helps us to overcome the limits that exist today: the limits that push us to think that there are more things to divide us than to unite us.
Looking below at the overwhelming sights, sounds and smells of another country, you will find that we are very similar. In fact, most of us have a lot more in common with people from other countries than you might think.
In an independent survey of 7,292 people from 18 countries , we found that more than half of us think there would be less intolerance in the world if people traveled more, and three-quarters of us believe that traveling makes us view differences more positively. and diversity.
momondo is founded on the belief that everyone should be able to travel the world, meet other people and experience other cultures and religions. Traveling means feeding the natural curiosity that leads us to explore, pursue new paths and observe the world in a different light every day. Since we experience something different every day, we begin to see things differently.
We want to encourage you to explore new destinations and change the way you travel by following our five travel modes:
1. Let your guard down

Traveling means exposing yourself to something new and different.
Open your mind and silence your judgments. And remember: you are as different to others as they are to you.
2. Talk to strangers

Not just the staff of the hotel you stay in. A stranger is simply a friend you haven’t met yet. A quick question could turn into a conversation full of food for thought.
3. Learn to say yes!

A journey is not only about the destination, but also about what happens along the way.
“Yes” is the magic word to discover a world of new experiences. Yes, I am lost. Yes, I want to dance. Yes, this seat is free.
4. Cultivate your curiosity

Find the courage to do something for the first time. Traveling means breaking down barriers, including those you built yourself.
