Is it correct to say ' I am open to new things'?
Is it correct to say ' I am 'open' to new things'?
What I want to mean by 'open' is, I am not against new things. I am willing to learn new things, cultures, languages and so on.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance :)

I would disagree and suggest that 'things' suggests a physical-world interpretation. You can be open to ideas, but not open to things. You can be open to trying new things, or open to new things to do/try, but "open to new things" isn't technically correct, IMHO.
It depends upon the context of the conversation. What is the 'things' word referring to?
