“The ideal place for me is the one in which it is most natural to live as a foreigner.”
– Italo Calvino

Before we start this episode, it’s important to understand exactly what an “expat” is. The word “expat” is an abbreviation of “expatriate,” which, according to the Oxford Dictionary, is “a person who lives outside their native country.” Other definitions, such as one from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, includes people who have renounced allegiance to their native countries. While these definitions may seem black and white, they’ve become a bit murkier over time.

One example is how the word “expat” differs from “immigrant,” which, according to the Oxford Dictionary, is “a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.” Anyone can see that the two definitions are almost identical, with one possible differentiator being the length of time.

But there’s an ongoing debate if there exist any real differences between the two words, outside of perceived status. “Expatriate” is typically reserved for people from wealthy nations, regardless of if they’re relocating to work. On the other hand, “immigrant,” is more commonly used for people who hail from developing nations, or occupy jobs that are perceived to be lower in status. For the sake of inclusivity, this article considers expats and immigrants to be one and the same.
