Why this word is great
XENOPHILE — [Noun] A person with an avid attraction to foreign peoples, cultures, and customs. From the combining form xeno- (from Greek xenos, meaning "foreign, strange") + -phile (from Greek philos, meaning "loving, dear"). Unlike the xenophobe, who recoils in suspicion, or the cosmopolitan, who navigates with seasoned fluency, the xenophile is drawn by an earnest, affectionate curiosity. It is the traveler who forsakes the guidebook to share a meal in a cramped apartment, the student who delights more in a language's illogical idioms than its grammar, the collector whose shelves hold not trophies but talismans—a quiet rebellion against the tyranny of the native, performed in the faith that belonging is a choice you make elsewhere.
