We will be releasing episodes every other week in June and July. This is a re-release of our episode originally named Living Abroad "like" the Locals.

What’s the difference between an expat and a migrant? In this episode we explore the global impact of digital nomads and tourists, the community cost of airbnbs, and third-wave gentrification while unpacking our own experiences as expats.

Topics covered:
-Why are some groups labeled expats while others are migrants?
-Media portrayals vs our own experience as expats
-The rise of digital nomads
-Displacement of local populations
-The 3 waves of gentrification
-The billionaire class and investment properties
-The issue with Airbnb
-NYC’s changing response to gentrification
-Voluntourism and the ethics of being a tourist
