16 Photos That Prove Experiencing Something for the First Time Can Be Absolutely Breathtaking

The novelty of experiencing something for the very first time can be a magical thing that stays in your memory forever. It can be something small, like tasting a donut, or absolutely life-changing, like putting an engagement ring on your fiancee’s finger — the emotions will probably be overwhelming either way.

We at Now I’ve Seen Everything love discovering new things and love seeing others do it too, so here are 16 people living their life to the fullest.
