There is a lot of debate around the term expat. Some people feel it sets you apart from the local culture to call yourself an expat. But I think it's a useful term. As someone living in a foreign country, I feel that I am, by definition, an expatriate —an expat. How much an expat immerses themself in the local culture is up to them. The experience ...
I moved to MedellínColombia in May 2012 looking to make a major change in my life. The decision was partially fueled by wanting to live in a place where the cost of living was significantly lower than back home and partially by finding a climate that was so much better than the northeast U.S. There is so much more to being an expat than simply livi...
On occasion you’ll hear someone take issue with the term expat, assuming that it implies a lack of patriotism. (“Expat” does, of course, come from the word “expatriate.”) These days, however, the connotations are anything but negative. It’s just a useful term to describe an increasing number of people who choose—for work or for other reasons—to exp...
I consider myself an expat because I'm someone who has made the decision to permanently (as much as anything can be permanent in life) live in a country not the land of my birth. I was asked yesterday by a Portuguese couple and Iranian woman if I would ever move back to the U.S. and I said the answer was no. (I was born in New York and lived all ar...
An expat is someone who has chosen to live abroad for an extended length of time. A tourist might rush through a country and see all the highlights on their list and get a tantalizing taste of a new place, but with the intention of returning back to the "real world." An expat may go to that same country and savor the region for as long as they choo...
From the moment I first moved abroad to teach in China, I considered myself an expat. A decade and three countries later, the label continues to define my wife and me. At this point, we have no intention of ever returning to our home countries of Canada or the U.S.. But never say never. Here in Peru, we are living a laid-back existence in the small...
What is an expat (expatriate)? Easy enough to find the technical definition which states it's someone who lives outside their country, but that really doesn’t state the meat of the meaning. An expat is an explorer, an adventurer at heart. They are not fearless but have learned to move through their fears to achieve their dreams. They are braver tha...
The term being an expat is not one that most of my friends in the states know the meaning of. When I use the term and explain that it means I have chosen to live in another country other than the country I was born in, they immediately all think I have given up my citizenship in the U.S. Again I have to explain that, no I am just choosing to reside...
When I first moved to Francethe term expat didn’t really carry a lot of meaning for me. I’d always thought of it as more of a temporary status, i.e. someone who was staying in a foreign country for a short period of time. I had previously lived in Italy for three years and the term seemed to fit perfectly. Surely, eventually, I’d move back to the U...
Interestingly, I recently participated in a debate about the term “expat”—the shortened version of expatriate—which is defined as a person who lives outside their native country. Simple; yet not so simple? I understand that the term “expat” has traditionally been used for financially mobile people who choose to live in a country (or multiple countr...
