Expats, Nomads, & Gentrification (Re-Release)

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 Sources & transcript available to anyone at our ⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠ ❤️
