momondo was founded on the belief that everybody should be able to travel the world, to meet other people, and experience other cultures and religions. Travel opens our minds: when we experience something different, we begin to see things differently.
That’s why we started our very own Instagram competition called #LetsOpenOurWorld. After three months of amazing photos – transporting Instagrammers from Ireland to Rio, India, Iran and beyond, the competition has now come to a close. Here are our favourite 25 images, from our amazing followers, showing momondo’s 5 ways to open our world.
Lower your guard
Travelling is about exposing yourself to something else, something different. Open your mind and put a leash on your judgement. And remember: you are just as different to others as they are to you.

Do talk to strangers
Not only the staff at your hotel. A stranger is just a friend you haven’t met yet. And a quick question might turn into an inspirational conversation.

Say yes!
Travelling is not just about destinations – it’s about what happens along the way.
Yes is the magic word to new experiences. Yes, I’m lost. Yes, I’d love to dance. Yes, there’s room at this table …

Stay curious
Have courage to do something for the first time. Travelling is about crossing borders, including the ones you have put up for yourself.
