I've always wanted to be able to speak another language. I think that'd be interesting and educational, and you'd have all these new words to use! Learning a new language is like discovering a new world. (I didn't know that I've been speaking another language this entire time; snobbish, was it?)
I've also always wanted to travel.

The point is...there is so much to discover in the world. There is so much different from what you know. There is so much to learn. To hear. To see. To taste. To feel.
Don't forget this when writing your story. Just because it's fantasy doesn't mean there is no humidity. Just because it's historical fiction doesn't mean the buildings aren't rough. Just because it's sci-fi, or romance, or whatever the heck other genre doesn't mean your world isn't a concrete one.
It should feel real. Make it feel real. Pick a real place and describe it, go beyond the obvious, dig deep and really tell what's true.
Firework by Katy Perry is stuck in my head now, thanks for asking.
