[quote=Anonymous]Haha OP ignore these PPs -- you are right, it is silly. I am a millennial and I have noticed this trend and it makes me laugh to myself a little bit. I know a bunch of people who have done what is equivalent to a semester abroad, by either working remotely for a short period or even doing a brief stint in a foreign office for their work, and they talk about it like they had a state department post for years. I think it is a cool thing to do, don't get me wrong. But there is a massive difference between actually moving to a foreign country and spending a few months there on a working vacation. Especially because most of the people I know who have done it have gone to European cities and just used wherever they are "living" as a home base so that they can travel cheaply around Europe during that time. Again, sounds super fun! Also does not count as actually living in a foreign country. It definitely doesn't make you a member of the expat community, which is a specific thing.[/quote]
