[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two things: (1) they are not expats. My sister-in-law and and my college roommate, both of whom have children and husbands and both of whom have been working in Europe for 30+ years while retaining their American citizenships and dealing with all the intricacies of that status are true expats. There is an extensive network of American expat families in Europe who help each other out in extraordinary ways. A remote worker in an AirBNB for 6 mos. has nowhere near the experience and expertise to earn the albeit informal and unofficial title of expat. (2) Read "The Expats" by Chris Pavone. It's a fictional spy story but it conveys some of the complexities of a true expat life. The young single here-for-a-season-while-it's-still-fun workers are trying to borrow some glamour and prestige by using that word. Ick.[/quote] AMEN!!!!![/quote]
