I'm an American Immigrant. (Not an Expat.)

"I'm an American immigrant." It's how I've been introducing myself in these videos — and it seems to have gotten your attention. So in this video, I talk about why I call myself an American immigrant, what's behind the hate for "expat," and why the difference matters. -- WHO IS THIS GUY? -- I'm Joe Baur, an American who moved abroad and has been wandering around ever since. After 15 years living and traveling the world, I make videos that close the gap between the story we're told about a place and what's actually there. That means honest dispatches from misunderstood countries, and uncomfortable truths about the American way of life. -- CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:48 - Expat Ground Zero 02:43 - Who is an expat? 04:15 - Birth of a (Modern) Expat 05:52 - Intent 07:05 - History of Immigration 09:22 - Always an Expat 10:37 - Expat f*ckboys SOURCES: withoutapath.substack.com Talking Tico: https://www.amazon.com/Talking-Tico-adventures-Gringo-Around-ebook/dp/B01N99FI3E -- Trail running tours and planning: https://burningriverrunningcompany.com/ Sign up to my newsletter so you never miss a video: https://withoutapath.substack.com/ Get 25% off your first three months with Vert.Run using code Joe25 at: https://vert.run/joe-baur/ Tailwind Nutrition: https://alnk.to/7McmXyf FOLLOW ME HERE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baurjoe Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/baurjoe Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/3879178 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/joebaur/membership Substack: https://withoutapath.substack.com/ #immigrants #expat #americanabroad #livingineurope
