xenophile
Loves foreign things
A xenophile is someone attracted to foreign peoples, cultures, or customs—the opposite of a xenophobe.
The word suggests enthusiasm rather than mere tolerance: She was a xenophile who collected art from every country she visited.
Less common than its counterpart, xenophile carries a faintly academic or literary quality.
